360 Question

Yuk · 08-14-2006, 05:52 PM

I dont have one but my brother does.

Anyway, I was telling him he could change his GT with marketplace points (?) but I'm not too sure about the whole thing. I know you can just pay to get them but isn't there a way to "earn" them? If so, how?

He might want to change his GT but isn't motivated enough to pay for it.

Thanks.

Sadly, I do not think you can earn them. It costs money to buy the certain amount of points, and it gives you like three choices of amounts of points to buy.

I've heard the amount of points to change your gamertag=10 dollars.

I'm not at all sure about that number, but I remember hearing someone say that.

The only way I know of to get microsoft points is buy them, but then again I only got a 360 about 3 weeks ago, so I'm not positive if that is the only way.

He doesn't want Cussin Cowboy anymore? Ask Ephrum about the 360 namechange, 75% of his tags he has changed the names on them.

Oh he doesn't mind it but it's one of those tags that people have to point out and make stupid comments all the time. Do you really cuss a lot? Come on say something, etc. ....its annoying.

Plus its so trendy to change.

You can NOT earn points you have to pay, i have had 360 since 12:01 the morning it came out..

Yup you gotta pay. And its like $15 or so to buy enough Microsoft Points through XBL. If hes going to do it I would suggest that he goes to BestBuy and buy 1600 Microsoft points for only $20 and thats twice as much for $5 more!!
