Say if I wanted to give my nephew some MS points then I could do it with a card. My guess is that it is just EB Games being greedy, they probably only broke even at $20 per card so they want to make a few bucks off grandma and grandpa.

It's only a small discount (5% or so), but if you're on a tight budget it's worth considering (free delivery to the UK, but it takes 2 or 3 days). I get my annual XBL subscription from them, because it saves me £5 over doing it on the console, but I buy all my MS Points over Live for the simplicity.
