[science]

So yeah, I bought two 1250 Microsoft points for my 360, and neither of them workededed! AHH! This happen to you guys too, hmm?

There have been reports of this happening recent, they need to be activated at the register.
See if you can take them back to the retailer, if not ring Microsoft and they should sort it.

EDIT: Scrap that MS apprently don't appear to be doing anything for users with this problem, and its not just on points cards but Gold subscriptions too.
There is an 18 page thread on the official xbox forums here

Ahh, some good info. My questions would probably be answered if I read that thread, but I'll do it later when I get the time, so I'll just comment on this first. Microsoft had that dillio where you buy the console and get 3 free months and a free 1250 card. I bought my first card, it didn't work. Then the free one from M$ didn't work either. Say whaaaaat?!?


EDIT: LOL Phil! The link you gave was to a site that had the music ripped from the Wii channels!

The link works now.
