Microsoft - Xbox LIVE 1600 Points (Downloadable Content)

These cards are easy to upload! We use these instead of keeping our credit card information online. Worth getting instead of risking your personal info.

The card arrived, the code worked, gaming goes on. Life is good.

My rationale for purchasing digital Xbox Live points through Best Buy rather than directly through the Xbox Live Marketplace is that the price is the same, but you'll get a slight boost towards your next Rewards Zone certificate if you buy from BB. Four times I've purchased this item from this site, and three of them went smoothly. The one exception was when I waited for several hours without receiving my email, despite the assurance that my code should arrive within 15 minutes after placing the order. I contacted customer service twice, and both times they were completely unhelpful (the first representative told me to call back within an hour or two if the email had not arrived by then; the second representative asked why I was even calling when there was nothing they could do). After waiting for about 5 to 6 hours and getting nowhere, I decided to cancel my order and just purchase the points directly from Xbox Live. Fortunately the cancellation process went smoothly, since Best Buy had not yet charged my credit card for the order. The approximate wait time with the other three orders ranged from 10 to 25 minutes, so a failure on BB's part does not seem to be the norm with this product. Just know that this is hardly the most reliable or efficient manner available for purchasing Xbox Live points.

Microsoft points are quite useful for online gaming. The points let you buy downloadable content for your video games. Keep in mind the points go by quick. Usually with new title games you about two downloads with all 1600 Microsoft points. I wish Microsoft would lower the points value of the DLC for games so you get more bang for your buck. I just wish the map packs for example were free since we as the gamers spend $60 for a new title game and have to add on another $20 to the game.

Not sure what issue the other person was having. I placed the order and received my confirmation email and code within 15 minutes. This is a great product and I had no issues with receiving the code.

This worked just fine. 10 min is the average wait I'm guessing. Fast way to get msp if you have a Best Buy gift card and don't have one in your town.

I got my points in ten minutes and reeemed them perfectly. Now onto download Mass Effect 2 DLC and get ready to save the universe next month...

This is a great way of getting points. Takes about an hour or 2 to end up in a email but worth the wait. This is a must for people not wanting to use a cc or paypal on a xbox account.
