Alrighty... I want to buy Missile Command and E4 on the Xbox 360 and noticed in the "Add Points" section of the website, there's an option to "Redeem Code". Aside from the obvious possibility (it's only to register store-purchased points), this implies to me that there's some form of promotional offer out there for free or discounted Microsoft points.
Did a lot of searching on the interbutts and came up with the following:
1) "Sign up for 12 credit cards, get 1,000 Microsoft Points Free!"
2) "Buy a 12-Month Xbox Live Gold Submission and..." (No mention of MS Points in the whole page)
3) "There is a limit to how many points you can have: When you reach it, you will be informed!"
...wait a minute, what was that last one?
Indeed, it appears that not only is there a limit to how many MS points you can have, but there's also limits on how many codes you can redeem, even *PURCHASE* in a day! That's right, it's impossible to buy say 10,000 points in a day.
What's a person to do when they're maxed out on points? Give em away, perhaps.
You think that there's such a method/website where you can go to just put your codes online and swap out, or if there's a community that allows folks to swap out some codes for others (Live subscriptions for points, etc)? Most importantly, do you think it's possible to *give* your codes away?
I know some folks get free Gold trials and Points when purchasing their console or new games, but not everyone that gets those intends on ever connecting the 360 to the internet. Seems like a waste of points?
I don't know, your thoughts?
