I been wanting to purchase some xbl games but it seems that I have to use "points" to buy them. I dont have a problem with that but how much are these points? Is it something like 100pts = $1 USD?

I went to the xbox.com and found this but they dont have any prices listed.

It also says you can buy the points gift cards in stores....anybody know any e-tailers that sell them for a discount?

When you on xbl you can click I believe X and it allows you to buy the points and has the price listed there as well IIRC.

the pricing is given when go purchase them through the marketplace on LIVE

i got 2000 points for 25 dollars.. there is no price difference in the amount you buy.. you buy 100 or 10000 it cost the same per point

For the arcade games, I highly recommend the Marble Blast Ultra game, and don't forget to save some points/money for Street Fighter Hyper-Fighting coming at the end of the month!
