Heres a little preview: http://img111.imageshack.us/img111/4843/02032009016.jpg

Thanks to ADSL from Whirlpool forums for the information.

This will be reposted on the front page on the 16th when it is valid.

Cool but may be a bit misleading. We need to see the full terms and conditions. The wording says "you can redeem a Cash Back to the value of 20% off the recommended retail price (including GST)". I gather this means 20% of the RRP of an accessory will be the maximum Cash Back you can get, not 20% of what you paid for an accessory will be paid back to you. So if you purchase an accessory for less than 20% off the RRP you get no Cash Back.

Based on this assumption I'm just going to throw some figures down here for reference:

I doubt XBox Live Subscription (except 60GB pack) or Microsoft Point cards will be included in the Cash Back so I left them off this list.
