    Or you get 1 of these from shopto and you get some free games ( not the ones you get via xbox live but in addition to the 2 a month )

    I can vouch for cdkeys. Do need to provide a phone number (I assumed to verify for fraud or along those lines - havent received any marketing calls anyway) when registering but the whole process (signing up to getting the code) took me 2-3 mins.

    The good thing about gold is the 2 free games a month.

    I don't like what microsoft have done with regards to having £ balance instead of ms points though. Seems that everything works out more expensive now - not that any of it was cheap in the first place. Microsofts own prices are just idiotic. Still charging £49.99 for borderlands 2 where most retailers are selling it £20 or under.

    Can get good deals on games if you get them on special though (or via the free games given bi-monthly on gold).
    You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means - Inigo Montoya, The Princess Bride
  • I wish somebody had told be about the phone number verification before I bought from CD keys. It just seems so dodgy to me - why do you need both my email address and my number, if not to pass them on the third-party companies and make some more money? I really hate giving out more details than I have to online.
