lets say you just randomly got 5000 MS points for free. what would you buy with them? arcade games, themes, DLC, gamerpic, TV shows, movies?

personally, the first thing I'd get is Trials HD & rent "I Love You, Man"

this may seem like a silly topic, but what would you do with THAT many points?

Change my GT.

Grab a few arcade games - Shadow Complex, and whatever else looks good.

See where I am after that. I think I have all the DLC that I want right now.

I have pretty much everything I am interested up till this point, but new DLC and arcade games that catch my attention come along often, so I would probably save them for that.

I was actually thinking about this when I was watching people play 1 VS 100 the other day. But then, your odds of getting hired somewhere and being able to make the money to buy 5000 MP outright is better than getting selected to be part of the Mob in that game.

EDIT: You know now that I think about it, I think I would get some more avatar stuff too. I saw they had some mass effect stuff on there, and I still haven't gotten any fable 2 or bioshock stuff. There's even a couple more Halo ODST items I might swipe for the heck of it.

I usually have a fairly constant stream of free msp coming to me so I can say first hand what I have done with 500+ msp that I have at one time.

First, I changed my gamer tag, then I usually buy any map packs or add ons that I don't already have. I also buy an Arcade game if I find one that I really like, or if I see a good classic. But with the addition of the Games on demand I have been able to buy new games like crazy.

And of course, when there are times where I have no need for any other marketplace item I end up spending the points on Rock Band 2 songs.

I'd buy some DLC packs I've wanted. The new gears one would be the first i'd pick up. then maybe some Arcade games if I had any left over from the other add-on DLC.

Probably would buy some arcade games, and add-on content for different games. (Call of Duty Maps, Rock Band songs, ect) I would never spend Microsoft Points to buy themes, gamerpictures, or avatar items. As those things are worthless to me.

I bought 5000 points a few days ago. I got Shadow Complex, The Maw with all the dlc, Mothership Zeta, Point Lookout, the new Mass Effect DLC and The Dishwasher. I think this weeks deal of the week is going to be Penny Arcade Episode 2 discounted to 800MSP. If it is I'm going to get that. I think I'll have to buy more points first, though. Once I get PAE2 I'll have all games and DLC I want thats currently available on marketplace.

All those games alone are 4800 points. So no, it wouldn't cover that. Lol.
