You need Microsoft points to buy stuff off the Marketplace, not gamerscore.

LMFAO

achievement points aren't redeemable on the marketplace, it requires real money to purchase stuff.

Not the sharpest tool in the shed I guess :D

You need to buy MS points for real money. Gamer points is just a way of showing off how much time you've spent playing 360.

gamerscore isnt redeemable for anything off the marketplace...gamerscore=bragging rights pretty much ...

microsoft points are redeemable on the marketplace...microsoft points are bought at the store or online using a credit card

sorry dude, I laughed a little, but no, microsoft points and gamescore points are different things, the latter being completely useless.

There was a rumour before the 360 came out that you'd be able to use points from achievements to buy things in the marketplace. There was also a rumour that the community (i.e us) would be able to upload content into the marketplace for others to download.

Sadly none are true.

Yeah, but he's a slightly less intelligent human.

Well, answering a 1,5 years old quote doesn't seem too intelligent either. I love how that one guy signed up only to bump this thread.

I read somewhere that Microsoft was going to try a pilot program in the US only that would allow gamers to use their gamerscore to buy items from a list. I can't remember the link but will post if I find it again. It could be a hoax but it would be nice.

i think most people would think its even more pathetic that you think your better than someone just because you refuse to find homur in such a laughable topic, laughing at this topic doesnt mean you have a boring life, but saying you have a boring life just for laughing at this topic may. i dont know for sure! but its a lot more possible. "why doesnt target accept my monopoly money?" if you saw that happen in person ud laugh ur *** off

gamerscore is useless. I dont play a game on hard mode using the weakest weapon for fun. If someones doing it in an attempt to show off...well.. i guess loser would be the appropriate term here.. either that or futility. Working your ass off for something no one cares about. I still wonder why microsoft thought those were a good idea.
