If you're in the UK, don't buy from GAME

I just bought some Xbox Live Marketplace points (digitial download) at GAME online, and they sent me an email with no Xbox Live Marketplace points activation code in it. When I contacted them about it, they claimed that it was a fault with Microsoft providing the codes, and to try again later. Whether this is true or not, GAME are still selling Xbox Live Marketplace points on their website, knowing full well that the customer will not get an activation code. So my advice would be to avoid GAME entirely.

Not really, just warning people that they could end up paying money and not getting anything.

I haven't used GAME in ages.

Thanks for the info man!

After Amazons change in policy regarding sending products to Spain, I was buying all my codes from Game.

Good to know! :)

Dang..I won a code for Crysis 2 from Games and I'm not even from the UK. Would this affect the contest community on Games?
