Have they changed over to cash already? Planned on buying points tomorrow, will they still work?

The Change over to currency has taken place already, but any Points cards that you have can still be redeemed for equal or greater cash value. (Most likely because there would be lots of those cards unredeemed out in circulation somewhere).

I still see some stuff on xbox live, dlc packs with their prices still in points. Other stuff is in Euro. Not everything is updated yet.

If you use the same gamertag on the X1 then yes. The profile can exist on 360 and X1 depending on what you are logged into at the time. You can swap back and forward at will.

According to Product Information yes, just check before you buy them as they might also sell for other regions.

Platform: Xbox Live
Region: Europe

I went through that process with my first purchase - it was the same for a few other Online retailers selling Point / Gold Subs (e.g. gamepointsnow). You can easily black out any sensitive information - All they're interested in is your name and home address, information that you're already giving as part of your billing data, along with Today's date and CDKeys.com written on a piece of paper.

Just tried to redeem 2100 points there, and it was only giving me €15. That can't be right?

I would've thought that's what you would've got for 1200 points, since 1200 games are now €14.39

Anyone else get crap conversion rates on points?

I redeemed 2100 points about two weeks back and it gave me €25.58. There must be something wrong with the conversion there, I'd suggest contacting MS Support about that.

Got the 12 months subscription from cdkeys.com through paypal with the 5% 'facebook like' discount (Came to €31). Got the mail within a minute, got the SMS security code just as quick and then entered the Coupon Code on line thorugh xbox.com in work, all done within 5 minutes.

Where you used to see your points total in Xbox Dashboard, you will see a Euro amount instead.

If you also go to purchase something, you will see your euro balance before you have to confirm any purchase.

Cheers, but they are out of stock on that one. May just buy a few 1 month subs to get me by until the new consoles come out.
