Where do you find these deals on MS points?
I watch slickdeals.net where you'll see them on sale from time to time. Recently it's been buy.com selling 4000 pt cards for $40 (instead of $50) on ebay. That's only 17% off, but it's better than nothing.
Amazon used to have the odd sell on them now and again.
There's also a thread at cheapassgamer.com that tracks sales on them and the Live cards.
Looking forward to trying out the Blu-ray player. <snip>
Not to continue complaining about the PS3, but I can't believe they sold this thing as a BD player... but didn't make it compatible with universal remotes. It doesn't have an IR remote interface at all. Someday, in the near future, I hope ALL remotes can be bluetooth or some sort of RF like the PS3, but until then I think they should have included an IR eye on the console for legacy remote support. You can buy a PS2 IR remote + dongle and put that in your PS3. You won't be able to turn the consol on (or off) with it, but you can use your harmony or whatever to, you know, remotely control the BD player that way. They cost about $10.
Or, you can use the controller as a remote. Or buy the PS3 BD remote. Or buy the logitech bluetooth adapter module.
