Shipping? For what?

 

The credit card sized peice of plastic that has the Xbox Live code on it.

 

Oh, and the plastic and paper packaging.

 

Can't you just buy a code online? They actually have to ship that huge package for that?Th

They are in packages like that because of thieves.  At the retail level, the box has to be big enough to stop jackasses from slipping them into their pocket.  It's amazing the level of "waste" that goes into packaging to stop thieves.
