Thought I'd start up a bargain watch thread.


Sometime next week Target will be having a a sale that includes 12 month live, headset, 200 ms points for ~$53.


Also, Myer will have the Arcade @ $300.

I should have bought a US Elite so I could buy region locked games.

Apparently there is another price drop in September over there.

Right well, what would be the point of buying them from that online place i was asking about if you get a headset and the MS points?

How do you know the sale is on, and what is the date it starts? My Live runs out on the 19th next month.. I've already used my two free months from RRoD and GTAIV :D

Hmmm found this

http://www.microsoftpointsxbox.com/

$43.95 USD works for Australian accounts apparently.... Hmmm

...and some quotes from the aussie forum I found it on:


Daedalus01;8973618
 
does it work on an australian account?


Mifferz;8973693
 
Click the link


Daedalus01;8980086
 
i emailed them they said it does, and will provide a 5 day money back guarantee

i will buy it when my one month expires and post back


Zerstorer;8980231
 
It does work, I just bought one yesterday.


stenchlord;9106875
 
I just bought one and code I was sent wasn't valid.

Have emailed them about it. Hopefully this gets resolved soon.


stenchlord;9109177
 
They got back to me a couple hours ago, apologised and I was given a new code which worked.

Oh, from the blog on that site there's a warning about using Hotmail address's to retrieve the code. There's some problem with Hotmail and their address, so provide any email address other than a hotmail one (if you buy).

I'm tempted to buy and try. Hmmm... They accept paypal too.

I kept an eye out for one for ages, since I was in no rush for it, but they never left that $1000 mark. People are well aware of those things.

It has me stuffed how they're so in demand, but Sony won't budge from their new policy.
