    At first i wasn't sure if this would apply over here, but seeing as it's on Amazon too, and as both are online codes, i can't see why not, as no shipping needed.

    Unfortunately (for me), i have no cash in my Prepaid card at the minute, so i can't buy one tonight. I'll be gutted if they are all gone before i get to buy one tomorrow.. Them's the breaks i guess.
    I saw this similar a few weeks ago on the Microsoft dot com website, so i'm hoping that they won't disappear quickly. These must be from that same deal.

    Another Amazon Link to Online code Only.

    They are both cards though. Will they ship the card here? Also says it may not be compatible outside the US.

    Edit: only seeing online code option there. Sorry.

    "Online Game Codes are only available to US customers" - tried and failed.

    Ahhh Cack. :mad:

    Did it not work with Amazon either?

    Would a US proxy work? :rolleyes:
    Or a friend in the states, on email..

    It was on Amazon - needed a US billing address.

    Can't really complain that MS want to have a promotion limited to a country with a pop of 200,000,000 (or so).

    Xbox Live Memberships cards are also region locked between Europe and America I believe.

    if so, that's new. Ms points are region locked, live subs were never locked before to the best of my knowledge

    Doesn't seem to be true. LINK

    It is only Points, as far as i can make out, i looked around a fair bit.

    But as stated cant buy the code from here, need an account registered in the USA.
    bummer...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 146 ✭✭Glenn220390


    you can buy on ebay for about 35 euros and you get the code the same day in most cases, they e-mail it. I've been doing this the last 3 years and here is a trusted seller

    I was able to buy the code on the amazon.com site. I have an amazon.com account, used my irish credit card but with a new york delivery address, clicked on "use same address for billing" - still went thru with no problems - got the code within 2 minutes.

    thanks op, was waiting on a ba for xbl gold.

    Do they email the code to you or do you have to specify that you want it emailed?

    If you look at the options for Subscription Length and Format choose 12 months and Online Game Code. Unfortunately the price for the online version is now $44.99 which makes it about 34 euro. The price for the card is now $35.96...I might still get this since I do have a US address to ship it to can get the code that way.

    One of my sons account was up today though so instead of waiting I ordered a 12month + 2month free with MW3 avatar for £31.99 from ElectronicFirst.com ...about 38 euro.
    Email with attachment came straight away and no problems entering it and the code with the avatar.
    They are also on Facebook and update there often enough with competitions.
