  I still don't like how the Aussie points are priced above the US. it's 1.333cents/point ($20/1500 points) here but on my US account it's only 1.25cents/point at regular price.

    GST?

      Nah, it's because Microsoft doesn't adjust point costs for changing exchange rates. They set the pricing in various countries once at launch, and have left them the same ever since.

  Yes, I guess this is to match the current in-store "2-for-$40" deal. The funny thing was that this was also online last night, but without free delivery. I guess that someone realised pretty quickly that $4.95 discount plus $4.95 shipping = no discount at all.

  Can this be used to 'buy' Live Gold membership or is that a separate card purchase?

    That is separate.

      So are Live points still useful on a free account? Forgive my ignorance.

        You can use the points to buy content even if you only have a silver account.

        As said, you can use it to purchase content from the Marketplace. Only negative thing I'd say is that some content is exclusive to gold members. So as a silver member, you will need to wait 1 week before you can download it.

        Also, always check to make sure that the content/games do not require online play. Otherwise the content will be useless to you, as you are a silver member.
