I wasn't sure if this was for real. I did some research online forums, review sites, and such but I couldn't find a for sure answer. I found more things that said it was legit then not. I decided to try it with paypal and I could always fight the charge if I did not get what I ordered.
I ordered within seconds I got the email of conformation of the order with instructions to go to the website and visit my account downloads. I had to enter in my phone number for verification. I understand this I read about it on review sites. I think it's for security so not just anyone can get on your account and take the key/code and also so people can't just spam order.
The code was a scanned image of the scratch off area of a normal pre-paid card like you would buy at a store. I thought to myself oh no I bet it's already been used. However, it was not. I entered it in online instead of my Xbox 360 and everything was seamless. It worked perfectly which honestly surprised me haha.
I am extremely happy with I got a year for half price almost! I used the 5 percent off code from facebook. I am about to start recommending to my friends already and looking around more to see what more I can find to buy.
