This is crazy. I know I've posted XBL Gold deals in the past and I can't remember one single post that was anything buy people thanking me for letting them know. What the hell happened here and why? I really don't see it as anything but Jay saying, "hey guys, here is a deal if you need it".

Edit: So I checked my thread history and I only made one XBL gold thread back in 2010 (Newegg for $3%) in which there were no replies. All of the other threads I created like that were just for single game deals from Newegg.

I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.

Can I use this code on a non-american Xbox? If so this would actually be worth buying since my membership is running out in a month. I guess last time I buy Live before next gen.

I honestly dont know. Im not sure if codes are region locked

Xbox Live codes are region locked.

Nah I checked. Gold cards are region free but MS point cards are region locked.

Unfortunately it seems Newegg doesn't accept Paypal from regions other than US.

Ahhhh yes of course that's quite true sorry for the misinformation was thinking of points.

Gold cards are not region free. They are tied to the region.

That's a good price. Would hop on a few myself if not for the fam plan I'm on.

FYI - The Family Plan has been discontinued and Microsoft has not offered a replacement. Don't know when your subs run out but you may want to consider buying some Gold cards just in case.

are you sure about that?

http://support.xbox.com/en-US/billing-and-subscriptions/parental-controls/managing-family-members

I dont think it was discontinued. probably just not as advertised as before

I'll find the article, but it has been confirmed.

EDIT: Included a link to the article

This is what I thought originally and have done for years, really not sure now lol.

I know game redemption codes aren't, and points are...

The official answer from Microsoft is that Xbox Live subscription cards are tied to the region.

There was a point in time when they were not, but Microsoft closed that hole when people were crossing the border to get deals on sub cards several years ago.

Here is another LIVE gold deal: http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/90900/rakuten-rakuten-buy.com-coupons-15-off-50-for-computers-electronics-software-office-more-new-customers-only-2x-12month-xbox-live-gold-membership-cards

It states that the coupon changed to $10 off $50 from $15 off. You may want to try it and see. It should still be a good deal. Discount on Gold and on 4000 point card. If you have an account, you may need to create a new one take advantage of the sale. Thread states that it is for new customers.

A good deal on the new Gears of War game @ newegg. GoW: Judgement - $40: http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/91016/newegg-gears-of-war-judgment-preorder-xbox-360
