Might I suggest you save up to buy a new one (with 3 year warranty) instead?

SG is 400 points, which equates to about Â£3.40 according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Points

Woohoo! Top stuff, Yak & Giles, really looking forward to playing it!

Around $5 or 3.40 quid. You buy a certain amount of points off of microsoft (500\1000) at a go either with a prepaid card or with your CC off the console.

Cheaper than buying a mag. Christ, that low is 'instant purchase' for me.

You register your credit card (don't think it accepts some/all debit cards) on the 360 (just the once) and then 'buy' sets of points in groups of as many you want (100, 500, etc.), which then allows you to purchase games, themes, etc.

Thanks Dom -

And again well done to the Llamasoft team of Giles and Yak - I will have a few beers tonight and rise my glass aloft.
Unfortunatly I dont have time at present to buy and get into a Xbox360 and SG but will have a quick game of Ancipital tonight to shoot the breeze.

good work fellas!

and then when your card expires, you register a new one and yet it continues to always use the old expired one as the unchangeable default until such time as you kick the xbox over because you've got a "this card is expired, please choose another payment method" for the 200th time ... or the sun explodes, whichever is the sooner

Can we lock this thread, so we don't get the same stuff in two places?

It would be better to lock the OXM thread. This has a more relevant title, and isn't as bloated.
