can some xbox live points guru/mathematician explain which is a better deal? I know i can just divide and compare but I'm too mentally exhausted to do it.

$16.64 / 1600 pts = 0.0101 cents per point 16.75% savings
$12.74 / 1200 its = 0.0106 cents per point 15.01% savings
The 1600 pts is a slightly better deal, but not by much. Both are just over 1 cent per point.

Thanks and the 1200 offer requires less hoops. Much appreciated.
I got a cancellation about 12 hours later. Paid with PayPal. Purchased the 1200 points (first time ever). My payment is still showing as "reserved" for Newegg, with no explanation other than "order was voided because credit card couldn't be verified", despite paying with a PayPal balance. Weird...
Check you card on your PayPal account. If you recently setup and added card they may be having an issue. They report the error to Newegg and Newegg sends the error to you as is.
My 11 yr old son wants to buy a XBox 360. What is the latest and greatest? We're not going to invest any more on the old WII. I don't know much about XBox live, Can you buy physical games with the points? TIA
No. Game discs need to be brought from retailers {online or brick and mortar stores}. You can only use points on downloadable games, DLC, Avatar stuff and some Games on demand {these cant be resold}.
