"You can buy them online from the Marketplace itself by using your credit card"

there you go, you just go to my xbox on xbox.com and manage profile youll see how to get points, or on the 360 using the marketplace. you can use your credit card on either one

wouldn't it be nice if M$ awarded you with points for hitting a certain amount of acheivement points

it would be a good incentive for us consumers and more than likely, more games will be sold because of the mainstream of hard core acheivement points collectors

you know that already exists... right? xbox rewards program... no current challenges but one just finished where you increase your gamerscore by 1500 points for assorted prizes including microsoft points, arcade games, and an actual retail game

yes follow these steps and you can

1. steal you parents credit card.

2. go to a local gun shop and buy a handgun

3. go to a local store that carries ms points

4. theres two choices here

A. Rob the store and take all the cards there

B. Sit there and wait for somebody to buy one, follow them out to there car put the gun to their face and take the cards, and maybe some money

Hmmm, i would go with option B lol. 

Check out this site, GamingLagoon. Got a 1600 point card for free, I swear totally legit. Just do some lame surveys, get credit, use the credit to buy a ton of 360 stuff. I probably spent an hour on it, got the card, now working on getting a wireless controller. It's all 100% free and really simple.

A few tips: use tab, the arrow keys, a fake name. You can use a fake email (set one up with gmail), or just report all incoming emails as spam. Really not a hassle at all, but hey, I can get the Gears maps without copmplaining cuz I got them for free.

Phases of Getting MS Points Plan

1) Steal underpants

2)????????

3) Profit! (in the form of MS Points)

Makes sense to me. 

Either charge to your credit card on XBOX.com, XBL marketplace via 360, buy 360 cards, or Zune cards would also work, as I have been told.

 What Microsoft should have done with the whole gamer points and achievements sytem, is they shouldve made the achievements you earn in the games you play the currency for Xbox Live Marketplace. Then achievements would actually mean something. Or make it so you have to get a certain achievement in a certain game to get certain downloadable content for it. Like you must finish the main story arc, or rise to the top of the guild, then you can dowload shivering isles. Making you pay so much for little add ons is retarded. And achievements are pointless. If Miscrosoft wouldve combined the two, they would be getting much more praise from gamers.hillelslovak

If you were smart, you'd know that MS has done this to make money, not give away things that can land them a huge profit.
