what would you do with 500,000 MS points

[AmayaOnnaOtaku]

Sell it on eBay and take the cash and buy games on Steam

 

[lokun489]

Consider buying an xbox.

 

[AgDr_ODST]

if possible give 100,000 MS points to each of my 4 friends and then use my remaining points to try full versions of indie games, buy movies from Zune and games on demand and all the avatar marketplace stuff that I've ever liked

 

[DustyDrB]

There's not that many games on there I actually want. I already have most the ones I do want. So...I guess I'd sell my points to someone.

How much is that in real world money and not stupid ass scam points bullshit? However much it is I'd sell it then spend it all on Steam, then my head would explode from so much awesome and I'd die a happy man. Or be a responsible adult and spend the money wisely

 

[CarlsonAndPeeters]

I would impulse buy every single game that seemed remotely interesting and would never have to feel guilty about it. And thats about it.

 

[Et3rnalLegend64]

Get Mushihime-sama Futari Black Label, maybe get Valkenhayn and Makoto for Continuum Shift (and hold onto a little for Platinum the Trinity), and get whatever new Mass Effect DLC that comes out. What else is there? My brother would get the new Black Ops map pack. After that, I'll spend my time wondering if those points will ever expire and if I can spend them all (on stuff I actually want) before they do.

 

[EGtodd09]

I'd sell them because I don't have an XBOX 360 or anything else that uses MS points, even if i did have a xbox I'd sell 450,000 of the points.

 

[SyphonX]

As if there are "Microsoft Points" anyway. It's like Disney Dollars or whatever they're called.

Everything you can buy is conveniently priced, so you always (suspiciously so) find yourself with a useless stack of 'points' that is too small to pay for anything, but of little consequence.

But it adds up....

EXTORTION


(I would probably not even bother using them tbh. There is absolutely nothing on the box right now that I'm even slightly interested in. If I had to sit down and force myself to use half-a-million 'points' with no idea what to spend it on, then I guess I lost the entertainment game. Rigged from the beginning it was.)

 

[Whitenail]

Well I imagine I'd buy a nice them first and foremost, I noticed a nice Alan Wake them on a video a while ago and felt that the scenic forsests and rivers would make a nicer dashboard than my current Left 4 Dead one that I got free from an Xbox Magazine disc.

Then I'd give my avatar a sweet new wardrobe, maybe get around to downloading Psychonauts (last time I found myself with a bounty of points I wanted to but I didn't have the space, I believe I purchased Super Meat Boy and Undead Nightmare before using the remainder on the First Strike pack) and then maybe have a movie night with friends and family through Zune and use the rest for any good-looking arcade games and DLC packs.

 

[ISawAFish]

Well seeing as there is little you can do with MS points apart from spending them in the marketplace. I guess I would... spend them in marketplace?

 

[pearcinator]

Buy a new Xbox 360 elite.

 

[FalloutJack]

Get REAL money.

 

[superbatranger]

don't forget your limited by the size of your hardrives people

Ah, do not worry sir, I save most of my DLC to memory sticks.

I should start doing that too. My HDD is only 60 GB.

As for me, I'd take those points and see if I can buy out Microsoft.

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

Sell them to someone else, I have no use for them.

 

[Throwitawaynow]

Yeah, but you'll have to pay $120 to get your console fixed, or $300 to buy a new one, and you can't do either of those with your microsoft points, and I wouldn't be willing to spend more money than I already have on the piece of shit hardware in the xbox 360. After getting mine fixed 3 times I'm officially done with it if it ever breaks again.

Or buy a refurbished no Hard drive one for around $100 and use the hard drive from the old one, which would contain your updates, your account, your MS points with no need to transfer.

I must be extremely lucky, as I've only had 1 xbox break and that's because the AV ports got dirty from where I had placed my xbox, I got an arcade xbox before I knew about the refurbished xbox's and transfered my hard drive.

Switch my Motto to BRB playing minecraft and leave the points on there until I care.
