Tis the season! Or so I'm told, anyway. But yes, Cyber Monday is a sign that the festive season is upon us, and gift giving suddenly occupies the mind. Giving the gift of Xbox is an easy winner for the gamers in your life.
My own son has already put "Xbox money" on his own Christmas list, so I know I'm buying. Enter the artist formerly known as CDKeys, a reliable source of savings. Right now, you can get a $100 Xbox gift card for $93.99 at Loaded. A small saving, but an easy one to make on one of the top gifts of the season.
Savings are also available on $25 and $50 gift cards, and obviously, the more you're spending, the more you're saving.
Xbox gift cards are such an easy, but welcomed gift. Hell, I'm officially in my forties and I still smile from ear to ear if I pop open a greetings card and a voucher of delicious Xbox cash falls out. A man needs his Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 skins, amirite?
So what can you use these on? Pretty much anything Xbox sells. The credit applies to your Microsoft Account, so anything you can buy through your Xbox console is fair game. Likewise, Xbox isn't just a console nowadays, you can spend it on your PC, too.
In my own case, I know that any gifted Xbox credit will be spent at least half inside Minecraft. And that's fine. It doesn't have to be a specific game or piece of content, it can be anything. That's why it's the perfect gift.
The only thing to remember is that you aren't getting a physical gift card here, only a code. So you'll have to print it out or pass along the code in some other way. But make a gamer happy this holiday!
