Thought it merited its own thread Free shipping! No tax for me at least.

Pretty sure that isn't DVDTalk's affiliate link.

I copied and pasted from buy.com proper, don't know why it looks like that. I redid it again (with a short url that has mostly buy.com slash and the product ID), and it keeps getting converted into that.

If you teach me how, I'll use the DVDTalk.com affiliate link

Well, DVDTalk is automatically adding it, so it must be right, it is just a different code than on http://www.dvdtalk.com/support.html. One might be IBs and one Geoff's?

Same here... I assume I can enter in both the codes now and get the 26 months added on to my current time? Haven't tried entering multiple codes in before.

Yes, you can have a max of 3 years. I picked one up earlier today... Hopefully buy.com has plenty of stock as they still haven't pulled it from their site....

I just nabbed one. That makes me good through December of next year. That gives me two years to find a better or equally good deal without dropping another $30 today.

Does the code expire if you don't enter it by a certain date?

Walmart.com also has this price if anyone has gift cards to use or something.

Edit. Scratch that. Sold out now at Walmart.com.

I was tempted to grab a 13 month card, but the messenger kit for $62 at Amazon won out.

I picked up one. I've always gotten it for $30 (it happens at least once a year), except my first year I bought the Gold Vision Pack. I can't afford anything more than $30 though. 13 months will clear me to June of 2010 though.

I'm not sure. I have read stories about someone doing that it, and it overwrote the previous card, not sure if thats the case.

So do the codes themselves ever expire?

Yes the codes can be stacked extending your end date by another 13 months (up to 3 years... 39 months, maybe?).

No the codes don't expire, but if you're not going to sell the code anyway, there's no reason not to put it in now and toss the card.

I believe buy.com may still have some posted on ebay. They did an hour or 2 ago.

I bought this for just $1 less last summer. No shipping or sales tax. $28.99 was the price after $10 GCO discount.

I see no expiration date on the card or packaging itself.

Keep watching this: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...uct_id=4196284

$29.82. It was "Not sold online" yesterday. "In stock" today (with free site-to-store shipping or $2.97 to your home). "Out of stock" now, but it may come back.

Hoping this, the buy.com deal, and bb's $25 off with controller purchase is a sign of a universal price drop. Not holding my breath, though.

Ordered from walmart. I live one mile away and we go there at least 2ce a week so I'll just pick it up rather than waiting for it to ship.
My first year of Gold was from the Vision pack I got a deal on, and I got my wife the Messenger kit for Christmas so we don't need another typey thing or yet another headset or copy of PGR4.
The messenger kit was a good deal though, esp. with 30% cashback.
Thanks for the alert post.
