First time post, sorry for any mistakes.

Found a $100 Xbox live gift card (Only valid in Australia) for only $56.89. ~ 40% off
I would also suggest you purchase the G2A shield as it acts as insurance in case the code doesn't validate.

(For people that don't understand how gift cards work)
So pretty much you spend $56.89 (or $58.39 with the G2A Shield) and get $100 dollars to spend on the Xbox live store which includes Games, DLC, Movies, ETC

      This has a lot of downvotes but he is correct that they have a bad reputation especially in the streaming community. G2A is a shell company that does some pretty dodgy things. Fortunately, the majority of users do not experience it but friends of mine have lost a lot of money when making purchases when G2A was less known. They did not receive the games and G2A did not respond to any emails (I believe this was before shield which they implemented to shrug off problems like that). Also there are many cases of very late payments to sponsored live streamers who promote their platform, and accounts where the G2A wallets were being drained (a lot of speculation that G2A did this because users only had G2A wallet compromised). Personally I've only had successful transactions on their platform, but I would not be surprised if they do some ethically questionable things.

      Not sure why the down votes, but as another commented, G2A (and other key resellers) have far from a stellar reputation.

        Because the statement translates to: "Who cares if it's almost certainly stolen, it's cheap!"

        That's why the downvotes.

    I would suggest not buying the shield. Doesnt do shit (i tried once after gta v got removed from my steam acct). Paypal refunded me though. So dont pay for the shield. I think you have to pay a bit more to use paypal, treat that as your shield fee instead.

      PSN Card deals are far and few between. As far as i know, there arnt any card deals ATM. They go on special as little as once a year and max twice or 3 times a year. Correct me if im wrong though.

      Mostly PSN card deals are in store only rather than online making it a little harder.

  • ozgeek on 12/03/2016 - 01:33

    This is what I get when trying to activate the code:

    This code doesn't match your location
    You can't use this code where you live. You need to use a code from your region. If you moved, go to Settings > System and make sure your location is correct.

    I have my account set to Australia.

    EDIT: HOLD THE HORSES! Go to Microsoft.com.au and sign in and redeem the code that way. It just worked :).

    • brandogs on 12/03/2016 - 02:02

      For some reason the xbox site isn't designed that well for non US users, as you notice every time you try and redeem a code the url changes from AU to US. Your going to have to input the code on your xbox console.

  • Dbdpcg on 12/03/2016 - 01:37

    I can confirm it now works via the app.

    Anyone care to speculate how the seller is actually making money off of this? The flag suggests the seller is located in Vietnam, so it's not likely the Xbox codes in $AUD fell off the back of a truck.

      G2A is a key reseller site so it's safe to assume they aren't getting them through the typical distributors. At prices this low, and for something uncommon like this, I wouldn't be surprised if these were bought with stolen CC details.

      • mickeyjuiceman on 12/03/2016 - 03:44

        That's exactly how they operate. I'm surprised they're allowed here on OB, TBH.

        • SirFlibbled on 12/03/2016 - 12:08
          +1

          The problem is that it's just an assumption they were bought with stolen CC numbers. I'm not buying for exactly this reason but I'm not sure OB has a policy on that. You'd need a little more proof I guess.

  • Mungahh on 12/03/2016 - 02:24

    G2A is dodgy as, and G2A Shield is a SCAM.

    They NEVER pay out if you have a problem even if you bought their Shield.

    It's only there just to make you feel safe while taking a fe more bucks for themselves. Only ever pay with PAYPAL and then maybe you might have some recourse.

    Sometimes things get sold on G2A, only for customers to later find out that the goods they bought were STOLEN (i.e. paid for using Stolen Credit Cards) and then get their accounts banned.

    G2A is very risky. It's basically like Gumtree for video game key trading.

    I would be very, very, careful. I am surprised that G2A is not blocked on OzBargain due to their dodginess.

    G2A is VERY well-known to be crooked. Yes, it might work, but that doesn't mean it's not supporting criminals.

  • Japius on 12/03/2016 - 03:52
    +2

    Meh you can suggest any marketplace is 'supporting criminals'.

    I have no evidence this is the case with this seller and you can't tar an entire marketplace based on the chance some people are dodgey, I still buy things on eBay or gumtree even though some sellers could be selling stolen goods.

    Policing things like that is up to law enforcement not me. If someone wants to take a personal stance of not using a marketplace just because some sellers might be dodgey that's their business, each to their own I guess

    • mickeyjuiceman on 12/03/2016 - 03:55

      Comparing G2A to eBay shows how little clue you have about it. It's extremely well-known for using stolen CC - how else do you think they get the "deep discounts" they get?

      "Policing things like that is up to law enforcement not me." Explains it all, pretty much.

      • Japius on 12/03/2016 - 04:06
        +2

        It's a marketplace, just deals in digital products. How do they get the 'deep discounts'? I don't know, I also didn't ask the seller on eBay why my new controller was a third of the price it is at target. If you go to an extra level of investigation with private sellers on online marketplaces that's your prerogative.

        Couldn't find anything definitive in the two minutes I spent on google and reading articles to suggest G2A as a whole is just for criminals. Unless you count anonymous posters on reddit using their gut feel and intuition (and some mild racism in some posts). Did see a couple of online tech mags being happy to use the service (pcadvisor was the first result). Is there potential for dodgey sellers? Definitely, is that unique to G2A? No. But I also can't say the reasons given on their corporate site stating ways some sellers obtain discount pricing aren't legitimate.

        Anyway very happy with my purchase :)

        • Japius on 12/03/2016 - 04:14

          @Mic Cullen:

          Do you have some evidence to table about this particular seller? Or the marketplace as a whole? OzBargain is a pretty good community and I am sure if shown evidence the deal would be removed quickly, I wouldn't be tarring yet another entire site with comments like that, especially this one, the report button at the top would be the fastest way for you to give the mods your evidence and have the deal removed.

          @Japius: What's the point? You've already said that you're happy to buy it as long as its cheap, and you don't care how it got to be that way.

          The whole "ignore the big picture and the history of somewhere like G2A, if you can't prove THIS particular thing is bad, I'll assume it's just fine!" is how crooks like this get away with stuff.

    You can use code "LRIK" to save an additional 5%. It saves you $1.71 off the fees. Seems to be more codes available online. Not sure if there is anything better out there.

        The seller has over 5k positive ratings. Can you please provide proof that they are stolen? Or are you just assuming because the price is too good it cant be legit? Or do you have a previous negative experience with this site/seller? I think you are right in voicing your concern (once), but given your number of posts and hoping the codes will will be deauthorized, is very anti ozbargain, and is just trolling.
