In a previous post, I ranted about the subtle downfalls of digital distribution. One point I made was the relative inflexibility of fake digital currencies like Wii and Microsoft Points. In what must have been a reaction to my complaint, Circuit City has the mother of all sales on Microsoft Points this week. Basically, the sale lets you save $20 when you buy two Xbox Live products. For some reason, this includes the $20 Microsoft Points cards. Essentially, it is buy one get one free for points that never go bad.
Sounds too good to be true, right? Well the problem is that just about every Circuit City in the country has sold out of them. Luckily, by using store policies against them, you can get a price match at competing stores like Best Buy. Yesterday, between price matches, and a coupon, I got $100 worth of MS Points for $40! Just wanted to let you guys know, if you ever want MS Points, now is the time!
