Purchase
Prepaid cards are sold at retail stores and at some convenience stores. Each card contains a code redeemable for a fixed number of Microsoft Points which can be added to any Xbox Live account or Zune Marketplace account in a given country or region. Cards come in various denominations of Points, depending on the country. Once used, cards have no further value and cannot be "recharged" or partially redeemed. Cards purchased in one region cannot be associated with Xbox Live accounts from other regions.

Famous quotes containing the word purchase:
“We are told to maintain constitutions because they are constitutions, and what is laid down in those constitutions?... Certain great fundamental ideas of right are common to the world, and ... all laws of man’s making which trample on these ideas, are null and void—wrong to obey, right to disobey. The Constitution of the United States recognizes human slavery; and makes the souls of men articles of purchase and of sale.”
—Anna Elizabeth Dickinson (1842–1932)
“When thou, poor Excommunicate
From all the joys of love, shalt see
The full reward and glorious fate
Which my strong faith shall purchase me,
Then curse thine own inconstancy!”
—Thomas Carew (1589–1639)
“Riches are valuable at all times, and to all men; because they always purchase pleasures, such as men are accustomed to, and desire: Nor can any thing restrain or regulate the love of money, but a sense of honour and virtue; which, if it be not nearly equal at all times, will naturally abound most in ages of knowledge and refinement.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
