2100 MS Points for £11.99

shawpower

Here's a roundabout way of getting 2100 MS points for £11.99.

1. Log into the GAME website and vote for Game Of The Year. Click me. (It doesn't matter which you vote for)

2. In a few days, you'll receive an email with a £5 voucher to use against any of the games you could vote on.

3. Select to purchase Limbo.

4. This is an MS Arcade game, so instead of the game, you get to buy 2100 MS points instead.

5. Redeem your voucher, and the price of the MS points is now just £11.99.

The one catch is that delivery to EU is £2.99 but free within the UK, so if you know anyone in the UK (including NI) use their home address as delivery. It's just a code, so they can either call the code out to you, or take a photo of it and email it to you.

Even with the EU delivery, it's still cheaper than you'll get anywhere (I think).

Thanks for that!

Where did you see Limbo for sale? I cant find any xbox downloadable games?

It's ok I figured it out

Korvanica

Ive still to receive that voucher...voted on tuesday

love that turbo

Same here, waiting

brk3

Done the vote, no mention of a voucher though.. will wait and see.

Korvanica

so has anyone got their voucher?

love that turbo

No sign of it yet

niallon

Nothing here yet either.

Unless the OP can clarify to the contrary, is there any chance that vouchers aren't distributed until the awards are done?

DaveTwenty7

I recieved my voucher over a week ago.
I ordered the 2100 MS points and used BT11AA as the post code (belfast general post office) then filled in the address for my address in Dublin.
The 2100 card arrived this moring in the post
Total cost £11.99

Can't see Limbo for sale on the Game website though

fjon

Never mind, I managed to find it, and ordered it using BT11AA as Postcode. Hopefully it will arrive!

Did you put down the country as United Kingdom also? I take it you have to to be able to enter the Belfast post code?

Just worried that my card will end up at the Belfast post office! :eek:

Probably a stupid question but do these points expire? There's nothing I want to get right now but they'll come in handy in the future

Some cards can expire (goes for in-box DLC and Gold subscriptions too), but once you enter the code into the Xbox you're safe.

Sure did, seeing as DaveTwenty7 got his, thought it would be worth a punt.
If you have to pay for postage there isn't a huge amount of difference between this and eBay.

I put down Ireland

MarkJD

How much would 2100 MS points cost you normally?

DaveTwenty7

Cheapest place I have found online costs £16.60 (GBP)

Korvanica

I wrote ireland in the county field just in case...

Lord Derpington

I put Ireland in the address field but in order to get the free postage united kingdom was selected by the postcode.

So on the address it looks like this

My Name
Address Line 1
Address Line 2
Kilkenny
Co. Kilkenny
Ireland
BT1 1AA
United Kingdom

Or something similar, I will post back here if/when it arrives either way

fjon

Mine got delivered today, I used BT11AA and UK as address.

kendragon

Took a chance on ordering this seeing as how a few of the lads were successful. Thanks OP

Lord Derpington

Just to update the thread, points arrived on Friday in the post.
Very fast free delivery:D

Thanks again OP great BA!
