Current Microsoft Points deals?
- It seems to be everywhere for about $19.99. (BB, CC, Amazon, etc.)
- Buy.com still has Google checkout for $10 off of $30, so you can save by doing that if you buy two, or are shopping for something else anyway.
- Next week's Best Buy ad (thanks speedy) has a deal:
GAMERS: Get 1600 Live Points for only $4.99 instantly when you buy ANY XBOX 360 Game // Must be purchased on the same receipt (10/22 - 10/28) - BB also has the Gamer's Gift Card at some stores, allowing $5 off any game/accessory $19.99 and up. Making it $14.99 if you're buying it alone.

That's a good deal -- essentially $5 for Ridge Racer!

Go again and check (mine was on a gift card rack near the registers, not near the games). Maybe they have them now!

It is amazing in how many different places they put the gift cards.
They could be at customer service, at any register, in a separate gift card rack near the front of the store, in ANY media aisle (usually in every new release aisle, but I have seen them mixed in with CDs or DVDs also), on the employee kiosks in the media sections, inside of non-Kenmore microwaves, etc

Over at CAG they have a thread about signing up for an online dating service and getting 1600 MS points for free. The points come from 360achievements.com or something like that. From what I read it sounds legit.

Yeah I tried that, the site is true.com, the link for the xboxacheiver offer is over at cheapassgamer. A lot of people have already gotten their points apparently. I already received confirmation for my points (that they are going to ship soon), so I cancelled before my trial ended. It is a pain because you have to call and cancel, but it is worth it for free points.

People on CAG have been pricematching the BB deal at CC and then returning the game, which I think is a little unethical, as CC isn't really hosting the deal.
However, you can get the 1600 point card for pre-ordering GoW at BB for $5, and then another $5 for the card. This'll make it half price, and there's nothing forcing you to go pick up GoW next month. The pre-order also comes with a free shirt that's selling for over $5 on eBay, so you could go that route and not be out any money at all.
