1 Xbox 360 Game + 5 bucks = 1,600 Live Points

You might be able to save 15 percent or more on car insurance by switching to Geico, but Best Buy trumps Geico with this crazy deal. A post on the Cheap Ass Gamer forums has pointed out a Best Buy special offer that lets you get 1,600 Xbox Live points for US$ 4.99.

What’s the offer, exactly? Buy an Xbox 360 game and you can purchase a card with 1600 Xbox Live points just by adding 5 bucks. We’re not sure how long this promo will last, and you won’t be able to use this with all the upcoming games, but it still means you’ll be getting your money’s worth, right?

One more thing. The folks at the forums mentioned a little exploit of sorts they’ve found. While the offer details say, “Valid on in-stock items only”, pre-orders for the special Gears of War set, the one that comes with a shirt, seem to count towards getting the special offer. We’re not sure if that’s really something they meant, or an accident on their computers and registers, but if you do happen to try and use the exploit, don’t be surprised if it gets invalidated. Happy shopping, gamers.
