I've never even heard of this, and I havn't even gotten an email yet, but hey if this not a scam there are millions of people on xbox live. Think of how many emails MS have to send out. Maybe your friend got it for being on xbox live for a long time.

Maybe he bought something and MS rewarded him with 160 points? I do recall getting a email back in September or October stating if you bought a certain movie from xbl, you would be rewarded 160 points.

I think i got that email, just without the 300 points. I got the email 4 days ago telling me to buy clothes to make my avatar stylish for 1 vs 100. Is this the email your friend got?

I guess it's probably because he's been on xbox live for 3yrs like you said.

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/live/microsoftpoints.htm Near the bottom it says "Points will also be awarded to users for various promotions in the future." Though it doesn't state what kind of promotions.

Just checked my email & had a new one from Microsoft. Just had advertisements, no sign of free points.
