Microsoft redesigns UK points, subscription cards

Considering the upcoming changes to the North American Live packaging, Microsoft has seen fit to redesign the inlays across the pond for consistency. Live subscriptions and points cards fall under the same design calling out Games for Windows and Xbox 360 much like the North American packages but include a few key U.K. elements.

The packages (12 month Live and the 4200 MS Points cards) images from hit films as 300 and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets promote the recent activation of the European Video Marketplace while Halo 3, Call of Duty 4 and FIFA Soccer are promoted for their multiplayer elements. While the same design is expected to be used for 3 month subscription and 3200 point cards Microsoft didn't release those images in their press conference. From taking a look at the images in their hi-res glory we can safely say we like the new look, we did however miss the fine print that says Xbox Live isn't guaranteed to be working all of the time.

Retail Xbox Live packages get a redesign

We love a good old fashioned retail package redesign, so when we spotted a 12 month Xbox Live subscription card sporting a new paint job, we just had to share.

Recently, we discovered new and redesigned 12 month subscription cards at our local Best Buy and, after doing a double take, we fell in love with the new spotted look. And the old designs weren't even that bad. Anyway, we hopped online to find some press shots of the newly redesigned packages and came across the gallery pictures below. We couldn't find pictures of the prettified subscription cards, but we did find pics of both 12 and 3 month Live starter bundles. The subscription cards' new design is very similar to these bundles and we expect the whole Xbox Live retail lineup to see prettier packaging within' the next few months.

Yes, we know, It's all cosmetic. But darned if we aren't suckers for updated packaging. So, without further need to wait, take a look at the new and improved packaging design for the 3 and 12 month Xbox Live bundles as we try to track down pics of the other retail offerings. Lovely, no?
