Yes, I did this myself--bought 5 gift cards, redeemed them all and then ordered the console through the website with my MS account balance. (Although I purchased the cards from Amazon, they look to be completely the same item and I'm fairly sure they are.)

In the description it states "Redeem your code to your U.S. Microsoft account." Your MS "Money and Gift Card" balance that the card applies to is visible here, which is what you use to make purchases from the online storefront (Xbox One X for sale here).

Also, in the Q&A: "This would be good for anything from the Microsoft store including the Xbox One?"
BEST ANSWER: "Yes. it would. It is as good as cash."

Edit to add: You can verify with little risk to yourself by purchasing a single card (even a five dollar card) and then redeeming it and beginning the check out process. You will be able to select "Use my Microsoft Balance" during the checkout process and confirm that it is able to apply to your item. (I just tested and confirmed that it's still possible to apply my MS account balance towards and Xbox One X--tax and shipping cost free at that.)

Yeah, IF. They don't know if the deal was because of his Prime membership or not because he didn't say.

Plus someone said this:

>That explanation is not the same as the previous ones, from what I can tell. The original issue, was one that I also was curious about, which was simply that the item was listed as prime. It did not mention it was a Prime Deal, which yes, would be different. However, I went to Besy Buy today and they gladly matched an Amazon Prime priced item, which is all I wanted to clarify. There are many posts where people are saying they won't accept any price matching at all if a item is Prime, and that simply is NOT the case! Happy shipping to all!

I also saw another comment from a BB Specialist:

> Regarding the Amazon Prime exception, what this means is that our policy does not cover pricing that is only available to select groups of customers including loyalty offers, discounts relating to non-warehouse membership programs and government exchange store offers. An example of this would be Prime Day deals or deals that are only available to Prime members. This does not mean that an item that is Prime shipping eligible would be excluded, and we would still be able to match these prices.

_____

So just because it has Prime in the item description, doesn't mean they won't price match it. You just have to look to make sure it's not Prime Deal/Day special.

Prime deal only - not eligible You can tell because it says, "You Save: $1.30 (10%) as a Prime member"

Prime but deal is for everyone - eligible You can tell because it says, "You Save: $6.86 (14%) " Also, "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com." Which is currently a lower price than Best Buy

Amazon.com had them for $39.99 last night and I grabbed one. The deal seems to be over now, but if you have prime you can snag one for 44.99 which is still a pretty good deal. It will show up as $49.99 until you sign in with an active prime membership. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01GW3H3U8/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I got it from Amazon and I received both the game code and live gold code at the same time in different emails.
"The Amazon Video Games team thanks you for purchasing Xbox Live 3-month digital code membership. You can unlock your free Rocket League bonus token through the following steps until August 31, 2017"

FYI, fast external drives can give you a huge boost in game load times over the internal drive, so it might be worth investing in some good quality hardware.

You can look up some performance metrics on various combinations/models, but one guy halved his load times by putting two WD Red Pro HDD's in RAID0, and you can shave off 30-50% on load times with various SSD's.

I've been looking at this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N0V4JG2

Reasonable cheap, big (for an SSD), compact (can fully hide behind the One S), and has enough reviews/performance benchmarks to seem fast & reliable.

u/Tothoro · 1 pointr/GreatXboxDeals

They were on sale for $20 a few weeks ago, but the sales seem to have expired. It looks like the best deal currently for the game and two guitars is the 2-guitar bundle from Amazon, but that's only $10 less than the one guitar bundle and then buying a second guitar.

u/camkeys · 2 pointsr/GreatXboxDeals

I just bought this WD 2tb. This one is 74.99 and has great reviews

u/svtfoeaccount71122 · 1 pointr/GreatXboxDeals

Would you mind explaining the difference between the Seagate hard drives and WD? Which one's better?

u/joeschmoe717 · 5 pointsr/GreatXboxDeals

PSA: Do not buy from the Xbox Store. I did this and ended up contacting customer service and having them cancel/refund me. Best bet if you want to take advantage of this promo is to purchase from Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004VSTQ2A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_dp_T1_rmNqzbE6F8K7S)

I received an email with code for the 3 month Gold subscription instantly and about 10 minutes later a second email with a code for Rocket League.

Enclosure

Both of these items used together will enable you to dramatically speed up load times for your games, and of course offer you storage. The installation is simple, and it's a simple format and ready for use with the Xbox one. I would highly recommend it for those looking to boost load times and/or more storage.

  • Also available in White for $32.95.
  • Discount applies at checkout
  • Make sure you're buying the item that is shipped and sold by Amazon

    Amazon Currently has a promotion below

    > Save $10 on select Xbox Controllers and Stereo Headsets. Here's how (restrictions apply)
u/FattestRabbit · 2 pointsr/GreatXboxDeals

Would you recommend this for other uses, too, like for external storage for a laptop? Or is it bulky enough to just be used with a stationary console?

edit - same price on amazon (once restocked)

u/willfoster · 6 pointsr/GreatXboxDeals

Looks like you could just get the Fallout New Vegas Ultimate Edition on Amazon for $13 which includes all DLCs. :-P

u/rainer79 · 1 pointr/GreatXboxDeals

Please resubmit with a title that indicates where the game can be found (Amazon):

https://www.amazon.com/Halo-Guardians-Limited-Physical-Disc-Xbox/dp/B00RKK11O2/

Correct title format is GAME - $PRICE via STORE

Thanks!

This looks pretty good: HGST Touro S 1TB 7200RPM High-Performance Portable Drive, Gold (0S03753) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IVFDNFK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_duPRyb0ESYZAR

I'll admit I'm new to the portable hard drive scene (just bought my Xbox two days ago and haven't even seen it yet). But since it's not a portable system, you could easily plug in an external hard drive enclosure and insert a desktop hard drive. It'll cost more, but it's a faster drive by far, and in my mind that's worth it. Then again, I'm primarily a pc gamer and have my games on a desktop 7200rpm hard drive and an SSD, so I'm used to the quick load times.

u/outcastace · 3 pointsr/GreatXboxDeals

Deal ended.

The game, guitar, drums, mic bundle is also on sale on Amazon for $100.

~~Rock Band Rivals Band Kit for Xbox One
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IANW1JQ/~~

Also worth noting that the game/guitar bundle linked in this post is the cheapest way to get a new guitar (new as in not used, not like a new design or something) for the XB1.

u/SumoSizeIt · 2 pointsr/GreatXboxDeals

Sounds like a physical card, had estimated delivery date and shipping options

edit: amazon has $15 digital codes
