1600 Live points
Nothing much to say, it would be better if you receive the code via email instead of have to wait for the delivery and also waste paper for just a code.
Keep it simple!
Purchased points and then used it to activate the annual membership, eliminating the hassle of having to add a credit card to my Live account. No auto-renewals, no hassles with cancelations, etc. Adds the extra privacy and security while protecting me from future headaches.
Way Overpriced
I wanted to play a few online arcade games, and the selection is nice (Sonic, Sonic 2, Street Fighter 2, etc); however, for 20 dollars, this card only gave me enough points to cover 1.5 times the price of 1 of those games. This is bull honky, and for 20 bucks, I expect more than 1 outdated video game.
If Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo would open up their eyes and realize that the only reason people turn to emulation and ROMs (which I’m sad to say that I have, at times) is because they really try to stick it to the consumer–price-wise–on games the consumer has already bought on prior technology. If these retro-games were available for something like $2.00 each, I would buy a ton of them. Until then, compilation discs are still a better bet for your buck. I would suggest Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection instead, found here:

Good alternative to credit card
Great alternative to giving MS your credit card. I’m going to buy another, perhaps 40000, to get the Watchmen game. Great product from MS that us credit cardless kids can use!
Always buy these for as low as you can go.
The points are the points. We need them even if sometimes we would rather just be given a price in dollars to more easily say, “Thanks” or “No thanks,” to.
