http://www.cdkeys.com usually has 1 year of Gold for around $45. I've bought from them before. I believe they accept Paypal.

Also I recommend Ori and the Blind Forest. It's available on disc now too.

I realized that I've been using this thing pretty much daily either for gaming or watching stuff, and I've yet to actually pop a physical disc in it.

Yeah, that site is actually legit. I thought it was a scam at first, but I tried it out just to see, and it's actually a legitimate thing.

You can also just look for a card elsewhere, they go on sale often enough. Available on Amazon for $49.99 for instance. Just in general, for XBL or PSN, buying a card tends to be the way to save a few bucks.

The keys being valid and the site being 'legit' are two separate things. Like G2A, I would personally encourage people to stay away from those grey market sites, all they do is hurt developers.
If you aren't having a good time, why are you playing?

For games maybe, but I think buying subscription cards for XBL and PSN are okay from sites like this.

question about Destiny:

If I buy the vanilla Destiny physical game, can I later download the expansions to add on to it, or would I have to actually re-buy the full new version of the game that includes those expansions?

I'm pretty used to how PC expansions work, so just trying to get this right.

Taken King requires you to pretty much rebuy the game :roll: . The kicker is the Taken king DLC is only a code in the case so buying a used copy just nets you the vanilla game :P. Looks like there is now an option to buy it separately in a combo with the first two expansion for $20 without the base game but you can buy the physical version for that with the base game :P.

As for Rise of Iron after googling it looks like it can be bought separately supposedly but I couldn't find it in the Microsoft store they say it's $30 though so you might as well just buy the Collection that has all the DLC. It's only $40 most places and if you have GCU at Bestbuy it's $32 after 20% off.

Edit: Once again the collection version w/ rise of iron is just all the DLC on a voucher and the vanilla game on disc so don't buy it used. Bungie has been really shitty with the way they've published these expansions in my opinion :P. Even a season pass is preferable to basically making fans rebuy a game retail twice :P.
