Not sure if this has been posted but I've yet to come across a post ...

Apparently, you can now buy XBLA games right off Amazon using real $ instead of MS Points. So what happens is that they'll provide you with the code by which you can then enter from your dashboard.

Here's the link to Amazon

Seems like not all XBLA games are there yet, especially the new ones like 'Flock' .. but there's Peggle though ... guess they'll be adding over time.

well I for one don't quite like paying extra for the MSP's. Since the prepaid cards that we buy whether it comes from GH or a site like play-asia, they'll always charge slightly higher than the actual value (1600MSP == $20). Of course I guess that they do have to make some money too.

I hope they'll expand to DLC's too in the future.

Uhmmm...this is Amazon ... why would we need a US billing address? However, I agree that we're not sure yet if the codes are region locked.

I might give it a try just to see.

Cool...that makes sense. But what is interesting is that I see the game EXIT available on Amazon.And if I head over to xbox.com and try to download the demo, I'll get a an error saying that it's not available in my region... hmm..
