They made a mistake about an hour ago and were selling 1600 points for $.20 each.

Yeah well sorry I was out doing stuff like jerking off in the shower.

Next step is to tie Amazon to your Windows Live ID which is tied to your XBL gamertag which is tied to your Xbox which automatically downloads your XBLA game without you having to enter the code.

Optionally, of course.

That's nice, but it'll probably be passing through the same gatekeeping stuff that One-Click and the MP3 Store uses, which prevents me from using my Japanese billing address CC with it.

I wish there was some way to use XBL points on this.

I thought it was pretty decent. The demo for the first stage is pretty straight forward and simple. That one doesn't quite force you to use your satellites. From the second stage on it become more like a puzzle game, similar to Ikaruga. It really starts to push you to use your ships strategically. Also the different skins for your ships and enemies that you unlock are kinda cool.

I think it's worth the $5 if you're looking for something different in your shmups.

demi · « **Reply #22 on:** April 13, 2009, 08:57:51 PM »

It's not $5 anymore, you missed the boat

Guess you better get Namco Virtual Arcade Museum

That'd be neat.

I got Pac-Man CE yesterday finally, for $5. My CC didn't work, but I worked a trade with a friend, who then sent the code directly with Amazon's own "gift" function.

Still hoping my stateside address debit card will be usable as a regular credit card.

You can buy points from them and have a code up on your pc to key into your 360 an stuff.

Flock is $10

If you buy a 1600 point card (code), you get $5 credit towards an Amazon Purchase (ie. a free $5 XBLA game)

If you buy a 4000 point card, you get $10 credit (ie. free $10 or 2 $5 games)

Saint Cornelius · « **Reply #36 on:** April 22, 2009, 06:19:30 PM »

If any of you fucks are totally poor like I am (I'm actually trying to pay off all of my bills in 2009 so I've been living like a pauper), you can bring your change to one of the networked Coinstar machines I'm seeing all over the place and get yourself an amazon.com gift certificate, then use that for microsoft spacebucks!

Weird. The value percentage is higher for buying the lower point card.

Is Flock any good?

If you go the Amazon route, do they NOT ding you the 10% or whatever that they do when you get cash out of them?

Yep! iTunes, Disney store, Home Depot... anything you can get a gift certificate for, they'll waive the fee.

Amazon's got that great RSS feed for their MP3 downloads, showing the big specials as they crop up. I hope they'll do something like that for this XBL Market store as well.

DJ_Tet · « **Reply #40 on:** April 24, 2009, 03:25:02 PM »

That's hot shit, I didn't realize you could use Coinstar for free if you get Amazon gift cards. I might have to take advantage of that, I've got a shitload of change sitting around.

Just make sure it's an actual NETWORKED unit before pouring your coinage in - the older, non-networked ones don't offer the gift cards.
