The New XBox 360 Microsoft Points Card!
I’m not sure if I’ve ever said so, but it’s a pretty fair bet that the most popular post I’ve ever written on here was the one detailing when I scratched away my Microsoft points on a 1600 XBox Live card.
I should’ve done my homework on that post (and on this one) and tried to write it with some keywords in mind to attract some more ppl from Google, but these days that’s really not my focus on here. And you know what? - This is not even the point of this post.
THE POINT IS…
I recently bought a new Microsoft XBox card! WHICH, is exciting in its own right because that means more Live games for yours truly. But it’s also exciting because as I found out, Microsoft changed the design of the cards up so that you can’t scratch off your codes anymore! No really, check it out!
So here’s the new card…
And here’s the back! Check it out…
No more scratching, just PEELing!
And there you have it! So if like me you haven’t bought a card in a while, no longer should you have fear that you’ll accidentally scratch off the code. And in case you’re wondering, YES I have used this card already and so far the only purchase was… Geometry Wars 2!!!

Oh yeah I remember that post in your eagerness you scratched away the numbers, right?
That reminds me I need to update my account. I’ve been blogging on another name all about gaming I’m loving it granted I haven’t been writing there too much recently but that is about to change. The good news is I have been gaming almost every day. Now that is impressive!

@Opal T - Look at us! Just a little while ago we both were saying that we were struggling to find the time and now we’re both back in the saddle. (#):)

This may be a daft question Bush, but why not just tie a credit card to your Live account rather than buy points cards?
I remember the “Massive DOH” post like it was yesterday :)

@Pete - Ha ha ha. Na, that’s not a daft question at all. And after I scratched off the code from the original card, that’s exactly what I started to do!!! But you know, every now and then I get a gift card to a local retailer. And before there was NO CHANCE I was going to use it to buy another card. But I now I will do so freely!
