Xbox Live 1600 Points Card

Convenient way to get your Xbox Live Marketplace stuff.

Points can be used to purchase everything from new items for your character to bonus levels to TV shows and High Definition movies.

Xbox Live's currency.

Strengths: Point-based system is superior to cash.

Weakness: Set denominations require you to purchase more than you may want.

Most of the criticism of these point-based cards is unfounded and a bit limited in foresight. As opposed to cash, you can frequently find these cards at retailers on special where the discounted price will lower the cost in real money in respect to the the number of points purchased. As a result, this lowers all of the prices for game expansions, movie rentals, or even themes and pictures (if you...

I am definitely happy Microsoft went with the point system and look forward to continued purchases at a discount.

They say you can never have too much money. Likewise, you can never have enough Xbox Live points, the currency used to purchase content through Xbox Marketplace. As any Xbox 360 fan undoubtedly already knows, Marketplace is the gateway to games (in the form of demos and arcade games), movies, pictures, and more. Of course, most of these things cost money, which is where these dandy "points" come into play. Sixteen hundred points is equivalent to $20, and while it won't get you very far, it will let you get your feet wet. Just make sure you find the best deal, because it's criminal to pay more than $20 (before applicable tax/shipping) to acquire them.
