You're like a child who wandered into a movie theater.So let me clean this up for you since you didn't read the finer prints of your own exploits. First 3 months for $1 + $50 for a year (EA conversion) + 1 year and 9 months ($15/mo) for new members only.
*Didn't you technically pay $100 for the upconversion as stated in your post?
- 3 years Playstation Plus, Saiwa = $96 ($2.67/mo)
- 3 years Game Pass Ultimate, new members =
$216 ($6.00/mo)$366 ($10.1/mo)- 3 years Game Pass Ultimate, existing members =
$363 ($10.08/mo)$540 ($15/mo)- 3 years Game Pass Ultimate, Madmick =
Free ($free/mo)$100 ($2.77/mo)
You're using a gray market price for PS Plus. Obviously you were aware of it because you set the $224 7-year rate as the base for PS Plus (= $32/yr). I used that same rate for three years (3 x $32 = $96), derp.
I'm not using the $1 upconversion exploit for the Game Pass price, nitwit. I'm using the EA Play conversion I just linked you. You can load up to three years with that. $30 is the standard yearly price for EA Play. However, there are $24 cards on the gray market today. You buy a year, convert to 4 months Game Pass Ultimate, rinse wash repeat up to 36 months. Furthermore, since you're converting a gray market registration today, you face no risk of that keycode being canceled at a future date (as you do with normal gray market key codes). That's the new member price. The existing member price is quoted from gray market prices for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate directly available today.
LOL at your dumb strikethroughs. I actually had to explain this to you twice.
Also, no, the upconversion exploit didn't cost $100. That wasn't part of my table. I was discussing historic pricing. That exploit/promotion first appeared way, way back in June 2019. Back then, you could procure 12-month Xbox Live Gold cards for anywhere from $26-$36 depending on the best available pricing on the gray markets at any given time. I took the average, ~$33, which was a typical price you'd see, and multiplied by three. So you would buy 3 years Xbox Live Gold, and then upconvert all remaining time in the balance on your account for $1. Thus, for $100 you'd have three years of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. That runs $2.78/mo for those who followed my postings, and sprung on the deal.
Also, the fact I get Game Pass Ultimate for free isn't related to any of these deals or promotions or exploits. It doesn't cost me a dime. Why? Because I've figured out how to work the system. You manage to be cheap, and suck at being cheap at the same time.
*Edit*
Oh, and checking physical cards, there are still plenty of Game Pass Ultimate deals on eBay for existing members, so my $10/mo figure was too high (for those who still pay for this stuff). Even existing members can procure it for $6/mo if we look at these excess code reseller rates:
