Anybody got any tips for cheap Microsoft Points? The 9600 I bought during the B1G1 sale at CC last year are down to a mere 1680. Rock Band is poised to make sure those are gone by mid-Summer, I'd estimate.
Not to mention Castle Crashers and the PQ expansion...

Use the GCO at buy.com and get a 4000 pt card for $39.99, other than that it might be worth it just to buy em small doses off the marketplace and let em add up.

I stopped by TRU today just to look and the guy told me they're having a 20% off of Clearance games and I picked up Stranglehold(reg 19.99) for 15.98 + tax = $17.30.
Nothing was posted but the guy working the games section mentioned it to me so I bit since I wanted the game.

If you're going to TRU tomorrow, there's also a $5 off $25 coupon for Friday/Saturday that is making the rounds on the internet.

That said, if I ever get a 360, these would be the two games I would try first - besides all of those cool arcade games like Pac-Man CE.

Yeah, I don't play much online multiplayer, but when I do, it's CoD4. If that never came out, it would've been Halo3 - and I'm certainly not the only one, so you could say CoD4 definitely stole it's thunder in that regard.

I bought the COD4 maps, and I don't play COD4 that often, but the maps are amazingly fun, and "everybody has them." I wouldn't buy the Halo maps, partially because they said "these will be free in a few months" but COD4 seems like it worth it.
