    https://www.gamepointsnow.com/

    They email you the redeem code

    I've bought all mine from ebay, just emailed out the codes. I'm surprised a thread hasn't been stickied here yet about that and xbox live gold...

    Used http://www.xboxliveuk76.com a bunch of times, good service.

    Avoid Instantlivecodes.com, they are a shower of lying cocks! i was waiting 4 days for my "instant" code. Had to open a paypal dispute to get a refund.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,451 ✭✭✭corcaigh07


    www.live-codes.com are amazing, the email with your code is instant after payment.

    I used www.live-codes.co.uk last week - I had the codes within seconds of ordering, no messing around. Very straight forward.

    A lot of people are also having problems with these, surprised the site makes any money with the amount of back feedback they have

    Also recommend these, about £1.50 cheaper than GamePointsNow.

    Very good site, used it a few nights ago to buy a Live subscription. Once the payments cleared you get the email automatically with the code so it's practically instantaneous

    I think a sticky would be a good idea for this topic. Where to buy Live membership and Points.

    Agreed, but only trusted sites like GamePointsNow and Live-Codes.

    So many of these sites pop up and disappear within a few weeks/months. We need trusted sites that are going to be around for a long time.

    I've used Gamesbite.com a bunch of times and never had any problems... they're quite cheap too!

    Their prices exclude VAT when VAT is added they are pretty expensive compared to live-codes.

    Cheers lads, just bought 4200 MS points from live-codes.com, cost about €37 using secure google checkout. Literally got an email with a jpeg of the points card within 30 seconds, great service ;)

    How much do you save from buying from such sites compared to buying direct from Live?

    £12-14

    Have to say, that gamepointsnow are excellent in terms of delivery. They use googlecheckout and as soon as your card is authorised an email is sent to you. You click it, and theres a pic of your card with the number on it. About a fiver cheaper than Xtravision for 2100 points. A tenner compared to some other shops.

    I bought off of http://buygamingcodes.com/index.php and http://www.gametimezone.com/games/xboxlive.php aswell because of the exchange rate from dollars to euro


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,328 ✭✭✭✭Liam O


    I was in Gamestop yesterday and as far as I can remember they had 2100 points for €17-18 and 4200 for between €35-39. Might be wrong though as I was only glancing around...

    just used live-codes for 4200 points. got the code instantly and its cheaper than most sites/shops. highly recommended


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,644 ✭✭✭Asmodean


    Does it matter what time I use livecodes.com? Its not like a shop is it? Is 3V accepted with them?

    EDIT

    Just put it through there with my 3V. Fantastic service alright, literally got the code in less than one minute!

    They've been spent already! Nearly jizzed in my pants with some of the new tracks up in the rock band store.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,523 ✭✭✭joe123


    Tried using live codes there. When i click what i want its added to the shopping cart on the right but when I click checkout it says total amount £0.00.

    Anyone get this problem?

    You sure they were in stock when you tried to buy them? They re stock quickly though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,523 ✭✭✭joe123
