Nit Pick

Circuit City had the promotional where you pick up Gears of War 2 and get 1600 MS points card. I won't get into the fact that a month AFTER I got the game the cards came in the store. I see that Microsoft change the way the numbers are accessed , instead of tearing back the strip you now have to scratch off the black strip which is a mess and leaves it all over the coin, your fingers and the table. Searching for a problem to complain about I freely admit, but what was the purpose of the change?
