You don't need a credit card anymore to get the best in downloadable game content or Xbox Live Arcade titles.
The folks behind Xbox 360⢠and the new Xbox Live have a different idea: Microsoft® Points, the new coin of the Xbox Live Marketplace realm. Microsoft Points is a new universal system that works across international borders and is even available if you don't have a credit card. Here's how they work.
How Do I Get Points?
Microsoft Points let everyone in on the Xbox Live Marketplace action. First, though, you need to get some. Purchasing Points is like putting money into a special account that you can use on Xbox Live Marketplace. You can buy them online from the Marketplace itself by using your credit card, but if you don't have a credit card, no worries. You can also pick up gift cards at hundreds of participating retail locations and use the number on that card to buy your Points.
You can also get Points as part of the Xbox Live Gold Pack, available at participating retailers. Points will also be awarded to users for various promotions in the future. It's a simple thing, but it opens up all of the amazing premium content on Xbox Live to a whole new community of gamers.

No for $50 you can get a prepaid 12-month subsription + 1 free month. Its like getting 13 months for $3.85 a month. To find it go to any place that sells xbox live like Target, Wal-Mart, or Gamestop. They should have it and it is a card with a plastic casing. Good Luck.
