Free 1600 Points - You Can't Go Wrong
How can a MS Points card be fun? Simple, you use it to purchase games, movies or tv shows on your Xbox or music and tv shows on Zune. The best part of this purchase, I got this card for free with the purchase of Rock Band 2!!! Can't beat that.

XBOX Live's version of Funny Money
How do I review this.....well the plastic is nice. It's waterproof to at least 50m. The case forms an impregnable shell, if you are too lazy to get scissors. It has XBOX 360 branding, so it looks right at home next to your console, unless you overpaid for the black one.
There are a lot of nice things to buy on XBL too. Movies and games....and a wide variety of them. Old stuff, new stuff and something for everyone.
My only complaint is that you also have the OPPORTUNITY to buy a bunch of stuff on XBL that would be free on the PC. New levels or modes will cost you, no matter how pitifully small. PICTURES packs....themes....that'll cost you too.
In many cases the Developers WANT to give this out free, but Microsoft forces them to sell it (so they can prove the business model of selling digitized pictures for $2). Bungie hated this so much, they changed the locks on their doors and got emancipated from big daddy Microsoft.
This is sad, cause there are times when Microsoft gets it.....hell, they created a cohesive online gaming service as an underdog, while Sony and Nintendo were sleeping. Then they practically blow it by basing the whole business model on nickel and dime-ing everyone who wants to download pictures and themes. Isn't the $50 annual fee enough? Throw in advertising and sales and it seems like a profit center to me.
Still, XBL is the best online gaming service for consoles....at least they aren't trying to recreate Second Life, like Sony, and you can only imagine how bad Nintendo would do online gaming. I wouldn't download the picture packs if they were free anyway....like most people.

Great Points
I was a little hesitant about getting these points as the only other review was unfavorable, however once I received these points, I have really enjoyed them. My whole family loves them; I can say we will probably get more. I would recommend these points to anyone with kids as they can be enjoyed by all.

very good
fast shipping. easy to use. Just the price is 10 dollar less later for a while. But Amazon drops the post price grantee policy. Otherwise I can get back the [...] dollars. [...] notified me that. It has some other tools when shopping online. You can take a look if you are instereted.
