Cheap MS points

agnes · 3 Aug 2011 at 12:49

Been asked a million times I know, but From Dust, Bastion and the new one coming out today look brilliant!

3 games, each at 1200 ms points = 3600!!! Which is about £30 by my working out.

Anyone rec where to buy as cheap as possible?

If you buy those three you'll get a 'special' discount. Yours for only 3600

Wait a few months and they'll be on deal of the week for half as much.

I think you get 400 msp back through a promotion to buy all the summer of arcade games.

If you work for a retailer or whatever company that are partner with Microsoft you can sign up for microsoft expertzone do some courses (very simple) collect points and you can buy the MS points for cheap.

XBOX LIVE 2100 POINTS
User Level: Points Cash Required
Novice 1600 Points £7.00 < First start out
Graduate 1500 Points £5.00 < 1st month in
Specialist 1300 Points £3.00 < 2nd month in

To get points is quite easy 1 course = 100 and finished a set of courses = 1500-2000 points. Recently I've bought the special 360 bundle deal. £24 I got alan wake, crackdown 2, 3months gold, 4200ms or 4800? points. Sold off the 3 months for £9 then both of the games on ebay for £5-6 each making the 4800 ms points £4.

Points required is the points you accumulate while doing courses

Can you not sign up by lying that you work at Game or whatever?

You can't, after 24h they lock down your account and then ask you to send an email, proof by employee number + a picture/scan of your payslip with the employee number visible obviously all the important information blurred out.
Once confirmed they open your account again.

Quite good rewards. I'm waiting for the Microsoft x8 mouse for £12 need but I need to be specialist for it.
