I think it will, and emphasis on the think. I believe cards the cards will work anywhere in NA. But I bought my card @ Future Shop last week for $49.99 CAD, the same price as the U.S.

I agree, but wonder what the benefit is to buying that card in the U.S.

Yup, subscription cards work for USA/Canada, I myself used an american subscription card on my Canadian account, however, American points card will NOT work on a Canadian account found that out the hard way.

Same. But I guess it's the only way they can continue to gouge us for the price of points given the high Canadian dollar (not that they haven't been overpriced for years).

Yeah, what's with that, a 2800 point card (Canadian) is the same price as the American 4000 point card :/ making everything more expensive in Canada. We also don't get tv shows, only get a handful of movies, some content comes late, etc...it's silly really.

Stupid Microsoft and there prices, its like alot of other things, Canada gets 2nd rate to US. Event pokemon, every other country gets them except us. 360 livegame content, we don't get as much themes and gamerpics as US. POINT CARDS we get half the price on the US' doubled value. The list goes on

The pricing is MS's fault. The content on the other hand is our own stupid fault. CRTC(Canadian radio and Television commision?) regulates that all content we have access to is at least 25% (can't remember the exact percentage) Canadian based content. It is stupid because we miss out on lots of great US content that is replaced by half-assed, government funded Canadian shows/cartoons/movies/shorts etc. that suck.
