"consumers can purchase a card worth 1600 Points for an MSRP of $19.99. Offers in the dashboard will range from 500 points and up."

Re: Microsoft Unveils Xbox Live Marketplace Content Available at Launch of Xbox 360

That's not bad, at least the Arcade games are cheaper this year. I'll probably purchase 1600 points then to get some of that stuff, like the NFL logos for gamercards...stupid yes, but cool none the less.

Microsoft is going to make millions off of the Marketplace.

I like the free game demos that will be available, and i'm definitely getting me some Geometry Wars.

Re: Microsoft Unveils Xbox Live Marketplace Content Available at Launch of Xbox 360

im glad they have a NBA Live DEMO and FIFA Demo for free on there....

That way I can try live before I open that sucker, and take it back if it sucks and get something else, maybe FIFA if its good..

I agree, and if it's priced right, it's going to. So far, so good. I like the free demos, that's fantastic!

Re: Xbox Live Marketplace Content Available at Launch of Xbox 360

Guys,
I have never heard of this. Can anyone explain how this works? Is it an online thing where you buy something for the games you are playing. For example you can buy a team logo for Madden. What exactly does this do. Thanks!
