Add the product you want the ?5 reduced fromfirst>. Then add a product which makes the total basket over ?50.

When you're in the checkout process add the code and it will reduce the first item by ?5. Complete the order.

Once it's completed, go into My Account > Manage Orders and then cancel the 2nd item. The first item will still be in place with the ?5 reduced.

email recieved twice over, both in reference to microsoft points being ordered. i left the preorder i had used to do the glitch without cancelling them just on the off chance they might cancel it and catch on like last time but it seems that they are stopping them going through. anyone else had similar issues?

Nope mine worked fine! Bought 2 of them and they were both accepted & sent.

Dear Mr Gallacher

Your Order Number(s):

xxxxxxxxxxx

Qty Description

1 Xbox Live Marketplace 2100 Points Card [Xbox 360]

We are pleased to advise that your order, xxxxxxxxxxxx, is now on its way!

found out they were blocking my orders due to a small number of cancellations in the last month or so [maybe linked to the ?10 glitch?] but after 2 seperate calls to customer services they finally told me this and "unblocked" my account... sounds stupid and shady to me :unsure::

The 360 Arcade that Rob posted on the last page is still out of stock :(. Anyone know the cheapest place to pick one up?

I got one from argos for ?136, it was a Jasper unit, and included sega superstar tennis.

You can also get a 3 year 'in-store replace with new warranty' for ?27.99

With the GAME glitch, why dont you just keep the pre-ordered game ordered until the points are sent out, and then cancel it? That should work, right? Seeing as you're not charged for the preordered game until it's sent out.

Just had a mail that they have cancelled the two points cards that I ordered the other day using the glitch. I tried again with the older code and the new one given and all it does now is take the discount from the total amount and not the first item on the list, so going in and cancelling Tony Hawk etc still leaves the points card at ?16.99:((

Ahh well:((

Still working this is just an additional code, I thought that I would post it as I am not sure of expiry dates for either - although more than likely they will expire at the same time.

Unlucky John, I just ordered another one now using the new code.

Plus I used ?2.50 of GAME points so 2100 Points for ?9.49!

So it is still working

it looks like tehy are cancelling all the orders with the points now. i had about 6 cancelled over the last 48 hours. as well as 2 on seperate new accounts, and thats with the pre-orders still active on the orders. hopefully my other preorders will still make it through though as i still have a few on the old ?10 glitch still waiting, and batman will be the first test of that. still made the preorders on the hut as well just in case for halo 3, dirt 2 and call of duty:pp

*edit* going to try the new code and see if it works for me. i'll try it only once though

    • Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.
    • Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.
    • Google was using the old CATPCHAs data to train their LLMs. What is the say they won't use this camera data of users to train their LLM? these companies need some strict regulations!
    • Depends on what you need. Might be a bit clearer on what you plan to do with it. Sort of a waste if you get the newest and greatest, but don't know how to use it.
