Customer Rating:      Summary: Haven't received a valid code yet Comment: I've bought 2 of these from this site, the second one being a replacement, and both times the code has been invalid.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Adds To The Fun Comment: Microsoft allow you to buy points via your credit card details and also by buying these points cards. These cards are ideal to give as a present to allow the receiver to buy items off the XBox 360 shop ie extras to games eg like more songs for Guitar Hero III/II or to download movies. They make an alternative type of present to a high street voucher.
Customer Rating:      Summary: RIP OFF!!!!! Comment: You've already spent £280 on a console £40-50 per gamee, £60 on a wireless bridge,£40 for live membership and microsoft still want another £20 for two game dowloads, why should you pay this much fair enough they have developing costs but this is just microsoft ripping you off don't buy this if no-one buys this you'll force microsoft onto lowering the price.
Customer Rating:      Summary: It's Like Throwing Money Down A Stream Of Water! Comment: So, it seems to me that Microsoft is on their knees begging for some cash. Well unfortunately with this card, I think they are going to get their request!
This card allows you to buy goods and items from the XBox Live Marketplace, if you have XBox Live. You can buy games such as Marble Blast Ultra, Zuma, Uno, Bejewelled 2, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1989 Arcade), Frogger and much more! It doesn't end there as you can also buy Music Videos, Game Videos, Pictures, Game-Tracks, Demos and yet even more!
Although this sounds tasty, it doesn't satisfy the needs as you only have 2100 Points per card and most games cost 800 Points for a Full Version purchase. This means that you can only roughly get 2 Games per card! I did some rough calculations and for 60 Arcade Games all at 800 Points each. It will cost you £650!! That's the same as if you wanted Two Playstation 3 Consoles! So, you can tell that Microsoft is the scavenger!
My Grade For The Card: 5.5/10: Mediocre, Could Be Better, Not Bad But Not Brilliant
My Wish: I think for a price of £20, they should do a Points Card of 2,100,000 Points. I mean what can you exactly get with just 2100 Points?
Final Comments: It may be annoying going to the shop all the time and spending £20 just to get one of these cards, but if are intending to get games, pictures and videos for you're XBox 360, I'm afraid you're going to have to get a few of these. Just make sure you pick up a few. Otherwise you may miss your chance! It's a race for cards!!
Review By Captain Chris Kipper!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Why should we pay ? Comment: We pay enough for an XBOX and the live membership, now they want even more money - For things that dont physically exist.
