    Microsoft Retard 1: Hey lets make the price for most of our arcade games 1200 points, then NOT let people buy that many points without spending too much, or too . Forcing them to give us MORE money!

    Microsoft retard #2: Derp derp.

    You can't blame Microsoft for this.

    Bill gates is sick and tired of wiping his ass with $1,000 bills he wants to upgrade to gold bars now.

    I'm surprised they didn't just raise the price for xbox live for some lame ass excuse...oh wait they'll use that one for E3

    Newsflash: Microsoft likes money.

    Also newsflash: Humans breathe oxygen.

    Edit: Hold on, hold on... you can still buy 400 and 800 point bundles? What's the *bleep*ing noise about then? Buy an 8 and a 4 and you've got 1200, and looking at the pricing structure you're not losing anything. I have to be missing something because there's no way people are pissed off about having to do one more transaction; I know gamers are notoriously lazy, but come on ._.

      Whilst that's true, that also means separate tax for the two purchases, which in turn ends up being more money than just buying the 1200 points.

        They tax you on buying little shit like this from the Live store on top of the 5/10 dollar charge?

        America really does suck

    You actually save a cent if you buy a 400 and then 800 point bundle.

    People will bitch about anything.

      What the hell? No you won't. xD There's taxes to be had.

      Unless you manage to get a good deal with the cards at a game store, then I really don't see you avoiding the taxes and regular pricing from using the live option.
