I bought one of those cards from the store with codes to add money to your Xbox Live account, like I always do. I even paid my tax like a dutiful citizen.
So I get home, redeem the code, no problems at all, $20 successfully added to my account.
I go to purchase my things on the marketplace, worth $20 (or 19.99 or some stupid shit like that)
not enough in your account, loser
probably because you aren't paying tax
Huh. So, the cards are now officially useless. The only option now-a-days is to put your credit card information online, which I've avoided like the plague (for a number of valid reasons). From what I hear (after using google for like 6 seconds), this happens on PlayStation as well, so this thread is at least console-war free. But does it seem strange to anyone else that we have to pay tax [i]twice[/i] for DLC?

Sucks for you buddy, should have gotten the $20 and another smaller priced card. Use a debit card Sucks for you

At GameStop they taxed me for a card,but at Walmart I wasn't taxed, I feel like GameStop robbed me

I bought some stuff over last couple of weeks on XBL & had no issues

[i]Pay your -blam!-ing taxes, bitch.[/i]

Your not paying tax twice... The old way included tax in the price. Now your just paying the tax on top of the original price. Get a debit card

[quote]The only option now-a-days is to put your credit card information online[/quote] It's not that tuff to figure out.......Get a Wal-Mart card......Put money on it......Use it ONLY for Xbox
