To boil the deal down further, basically you are getting 800 points for $2.

Not so hot.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .

800 for $2 would be amazing. But I think what you're saying is that you have to spend $40 on the first 3200 points (MSRP) to get that deal.

FWIW, Amazon has 1600 points for $17.99 right now, so that lessens the need to go for a full 4000 points, even if the overall $/points is better.

It's the best deal since Amzon made credit card fraud more difficult.

Maybe the best deal on Amazon. I have 6 fresh cards at home from the following in the past few weeks.
  • (x1) Buy.com /ebillme $10 off $20 purchase
  • (x1) Buy.com / Google Checkout $20 off a $20 purchase
  • (x2) Best Buy $10 Sherlock Holmes movie ticket promo
  • (x2) Target Coupon (shady and YMMV)

$50* for 6 cards = $8.33 ea.

*assuming you were going to see Sherlock Holmes anyway.

No. I think it was only alive for about an hour about 10 days ago. Just got lucky browsing SD. Of course everyone over there was ordering 10-50 of them. It didn't seem like something that would fly so I didn't bother relaying the info here.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .

My friends were bitching at me for the same thing over a Force F/X lightsaber mispriced on Amazon for $13 around the same time. It was like 2am and alive for the briefest amount of time, yet I'm on the hook for not calling/texting them all at 2am.

I also ordered one when everyone else on SD ordered 5 or more. Those people have no standards.

That's what I was thinking as well and I got two cards during that promo, but I still haven't gone yet and it expires Sunday. Damned kids and their baby-sitting requirements.

I might bite at that price. I just got the $10 Amazon certificate from the last Coinstar deal, so that'll make it seem like more of a deal, even though there's a million other things I could spend that money on.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .

$42 shipped is not a bad price for a 4000 MS points card. I may have to bite even though I got one for Xmas.

If you have an Amazon credit card, then it's an additional 5% cash back, of course.

Word of warning: the Holmes passes from Best Buy actually expire on Friday the 8th. At least, mine do.
