    Xbox Live Points

    Where is the cheapest place to get xbox live points? Also, will points cards bought in the US work with a UK Live account?

    Thanks

    Not sure about US points being able to work with a UK account, but I did the maths after looking at the US prices for cards on eBay, it's basically the same price per point. Americans pay less, but they also get less points on their cards, one of the rare items where the exchange rate is used correctly.

    Cheapest place I've seen is play.com, £17 for a 2100 card, not that much cheaper than RRP though.

    do they still do gamecube games for like less than £3.99?

    I'd be tempted to buy a card then, otherwise i'd go to woolies, they had one docking station...£9.99 if bought with anything else or £14.99 otherwise in the one 2 doors down (I actually went to try and get ssx)

    anyways yeah....I would try local shops, you always have play.com

    I have a feeling the shop I work in was selling them for £16.99-19.99 though (couldnt exactly tell you, was while since we had them in)

    Unlike Xbox Live Gold, I have been unable to find anywhere cheap to but Points, tend to sell everywhere for around the retail price.

    Yeah you can get great pricess on 12 months subs, but for some reason, £1 off RRP is the best I've found 8/
