I would have traded you my 3 month Gold card for a Flaming Amy's burrito, but I used it to register the other day since I decided I wanted to buy the MTG arcade game.  Oops.

12+1 cards for $30.  Two problems though: The site is "on vacation" for now and they actually email the code to you. Demi recommended it though so I'm guessing it's legit.

Bummer. It does seem like the discount sites went down (or out). I hope they put them on sale again this holidays, I should have done it for $30 last year, but I was too cheap and frankly didn't have online games. Now I'm getting more into the 360 again for online. I no longer know a MS employee and I'm not on that side of the sound to get close to people who may be employees.

oh, well. Here's to a sale. I'm with Eel, $50 is a bit to much.

I know they had it a while back for that price but the rebate ended. I was there a few days ago and didn't see it, but I wasn't looking for it. I'm going by one today at lunch to return a game to Best Buy.
