Despite Microsoft’s recent efforts to nickel and dime us with ridiculous microtransaction ploys, there are a couple of things we can do to get MS Points on the cheap. I ran across two deals today. First of all, signing up for 7-day free trial to True.com gets you 1600 MS Points for free. Or, as some would call it,a “pint”. Just don’t forget to cancel the subscription, or you’ll get slammed with a $49.99 charge. Also, currently at Best Buy, if you buy a Xbox 360 game, you can get a another “pint” for $4.99. For those still learning MS Point currency conversion, that’s $20 worth. With these two deals you can score $40 worth of MS Points for $4.99; that would cover the Lumines inflation.
