That's weird because they sell them in 1200 2400 and 4800 over here.

It all depends where you live.

In Canada, stores sell MS points in increments of 1,400 and 2,800.

We get ripped off. We pay the same and get less.

Oh well.

Some stores near you may sell them in different amounts but above is how they usually distribute them. Hope this helps.

you can use you credit card to purchase microsoft points too. Which is better because you can buy exactly 1200(along with 400, 800, 1600, or 4000) microsoft points. Unless only some people have access to that feature(I really don't know). I just thought I should point it out.

Yeah, but then Microsoft has your credit card on your account. It's very difficult to remove it I've heard/read.

And remember, points are not universal unlike XBL gold membership codes. If you guys buy them from your local Gamestop or whatever, they'll only work on an American account.

I r happy face. Got a laptop (but it's a mac book so imma return it and switch it for a pc or something cuz I hate using macs) and I was also surprised to get turtle beaches.

Is the turtle beach X11 usable? (NOT the best or great, I just want usable since I never planned to get turtle beaches, etc.)

And Olympia is amazing. I find the Stakeout to be too inconsistent for me :/

I've heard Mac's are more reliable. Do research before you make a hasty decision. I'd almost kill for a macbook. But they're also very photoshop friendly, so that's why I'm looking at one. But, I want a computer for gaming, if THAT's the case, get a desktop, not a laptop. Desktop can be upgraded. Laptop can't. I wanna kick myself for not getting a desktop when I got my computer... Which is a lappy. :(

I have TB-X11s. I love them. They are very usable.

Olympia is okay. I find the stakeout more reliable. But I rush, and usually run into a couple guys at kill range. So no biggie there.

I want a computer that programs are made for........ Plus I'm not fond of navigating through macs.........

Ok then glad I have the X11s if they're usable :D

I rush too. And I shove lead into my enemies' faces with my Olympia. Like a boss.

Your just using a superior controller.

So if your OK at PS3, your gonna be a bit of a beast on 360.

Your also probably not used to playing entire matches without disconnecting either :p

Gotta say, controller- yes. Much better, especially for aiming.
This is true, because my mediocrity on PS3 has transferred into decency.
I have yet to be disconnected, while on my PS3 I can't even connect in my room.
Also, add meh, everyone. WretchedXII

360 controller is so much more comfortable for me.

The games disconnecting on the PS3 is out of this world obnoxious. The connection is almost always a 2 or 3 bar and it's barely playable. I just quit the lobby if I have a 3 bar....it's ridiculous.

Wretched I was actually half joking, except the controller part ;)

Also, I got 12 months premie and I'm thinking of gifting 3 months to someone in this thread, so I might have a mini, "Best video" competition.

If you guys like the sound of that?

So my older brother played about 8 games on my PSN, and somehow brought my K/D down about 0.2; from 3.36-3.17. For someone who plays this game so frequently, he's so unimaginably bad. :( Christmas kids, give me your strength!

My PS3 can't connect to the Black Ops server ("The CoD: Black Ops server is not available at this time. Please try again later or visit (website) for updates"). Is this happening for anyone else?
