Grab 3200 Microsoft Points from Buy.com for only $31.53 (regularly $40) after using the Google Checkout option.It comes out to .98¢ cents a point, which is cheaper than MS's 1.25¢/pt. And every penny counts when you're paying for Lumines (again).
[Thanks Fargo]

I refuse to let Lumines attack my wallet for massive damage. Mizuguchi's business model can bite my ass. Between Halo 2 crashing 10 times in one hour, doom crashing when I try to exit or advance to the next episode, and then this nonsense, my 360 is getting closer to hitting ebay.

It's a good deal, but too bad they charge for shipping. A few months ago I got 3200 points from Frys.com/Outpost.com for $30 with free shipping. A fantastic deal... and they went backordered very quickly.
With the shipping ($5), this is more like $1.11/point. It's still an OK savings, but it's not huge.

Uhhh. buy.com charges shipping. With the cheapest shipping and and tax, my total is 37.83. No thanks.

Shipping almost kills the deal. This is actually one of the first things I thought of when the buy.com $10 deal showed up. Was disappointed to see their expensive shipping costs.
Good news is, a LOT of other stuff on buy.com qualifies for it, I've been spending like a madman on comics/DVDs/CDs/games. Get an order to just over $30, place order, repeat.

A 1600 point card will be $5 next week at Best Buy with the purchase of a 360 game.

So #1, when an ORIGINAL Xbox game crashes, and a 10 YEAR OLD game doesn't work, you want to get rid of it? THEN WHY DID YOU GET A 360 IN THE FIRST PLACE? Next you'll be telling me that the version of MAME you got working won't load your Atari 2600 games?

You can pretty much get this same deal at Best Buy. Go in and buy their Gamer Gift Card and put $5 on it. The Gift Card comes with a $5 off coupon for any Video Game or Accessory. Go back in with your gift card and your coupon and buy a 1600 point card for $20-$5 coupon. Same price as this deal, but you don't have to wait for shipping.

7 - So I should just accept that a $400 console doesn't do what MS promised it would do? And I should just accept that the game I paid money for last week doesn't work? I mean, I could throw money in a trash can and get the same effect. But to be honest, I'd rather buy things that work. People who work for their money get a little annoyed when stuff doesn't work properly. Why don't you go work for MS's PR department. They need as many fanboys sucking their dick as possible.
