They've actually had two different VC sales, they just didn't make a big deal out of it. Kinda kept it quiet. One was right after Christmas, and the other was when they were promoting NBA 2K15 and WWE 2K15 as a bundle pack. At that time, VC was discounted as well, it just wasn't made public. I cashed in at that time. I had bought two of the $45 bundle Microsoft cards that were actually worth $50. Best Buy has them on sale for $42.99, so for $86 I got $100. Add that to the discounted VC at the time, and I ended up with over 600k VC. Yeah, it might be a waste to some people to spend real money on a game, but I was just going to waste that money on something else silly anyway. Might as well get some enjoyment out of it.
