re: XBL Subscriptions & Microsoft Points - Cheapest Prices.

I'm not sure if this is the right place but is there a site out there that allows me to buy point cards and just emails me the code really quickly instead of posting it out to me?

I want to get my brother some point so we can play some of the new Gears maps but I am not in the same place as him and can't buy points from the dashboard.

Points bought in Europe will only work on Europe live accounts.
Points bought in the USA will only work on USA live accounts.

2100 points cards are in HMVs 2 for £30 deal in store at the moment. Making 4200 £30. If you have a McDonalds code you can make them even cheaper. And Student discount.

re: XBL Subscriptions & Microsoft Points - Cheapest Prices.

I think its worth updating the first post to state that jasper is not supplying codes to new customers.

For the past 4 weeks he's been taking new customers money but not supplying codes leaving people to chase for refunds, some of which people have to wait days/weeks for and then on top of that PayPal sit on the refunded money for 5-7days until you can access your funds again.

You can read about the many disgruntled customers here on his own forum:-

Video Game Forum - View topic - Feedback for those who purchased from my xbox card site

He's known about this for 4 weeks now but has not updated his website to reflect this, the only way you'll know is by checking his forum which is usually after a purchase.

Not good at all.

re: XBL Subscriptions & Microsoft Points - Cheapest Prices.

certain ISP's seem to be blacklisted,he is vetting them i assume, due to the large number of chargebacks(people getting codes,then applying for refunds).

re: XBL Subscriptions & Microsoft Points - Cheapest Prices.

No stock of anything with Jasper now... maybe he's listened to the comments on the last 7 pages of his forum full of disgruntled customers. I hope for his own sake he takes a break before starting up again.

Its a fake place, look at the site, its not well laid out. Plus highlight over the email to see it say email: someone@somewhere.com
Avoid.
Even if it changes now, I'm still saying avoid cos they probably just read this.

Gamebites are a LTD company. Their company number is correct and is registered to them.

One thing to watch out tho is prices exclude VAT so whatever prices you see add 15% onto them.

There email address in the contact us section work i assume they have just forgot to change the email address when they purchased the website template.

re: XBL Subscriptions & Microsoft Points - Cheapest Prices.

Has anyone had a purchase from Instant Live Codes flagged up for 'review'?

I always get paranoid as this always seems to happen to me, yet my Paypal account is clean and has never been misused or attracted the paypal police.

Just hope I get the code today as I'm only on a half day at work

EDIT: Turned up the second after I decided to buy another from Mark's site, sod's law eh?

re: XBL Subscriptions & Microsoft Points - Cheapest Prices.

Got a 12month sub from instantlivecodes on Sunday and it arrived within half an hour.

Anyone know of a cheap instant place for points as I feel like getting Battlefield 1943.

Got my code and points from InstantConsoleCards.com

I think thats a personal best for me

re: XBL Subscriptions & Microsoft Points - Cheapest Prices.

I think it would be worth adding shopto to the 1st post as they offer instant delivery of points and subs. You can pay a bit more and get them physically delivered too:

2100 points - £15.85 electronically delivered

4200 points - £30.85 electronically delivered

12 months live sub - £31.86 electronically delivered

3 months live sub - £12.85 electronically delivered

I bought 2100 points from them last week and the code was instantly in my account.

The live subs aren't particularly competitive, but I think the points are on the whole.

It says that everything is out of stock at the moment though.

re: XBL Subscriptions & Microsoft Points - Cheapest Prices.

Zavvi are doing 2100 points for £14.95. Doesn't look like it's electronically delivered, though. But free postage.

zavvi.co.uk - Found 2 results for "2100 points"
