Free Microsoft Points are those points that are used in the Xbox Live marketplace to buy things like demos, in game items, maps, themes, trailers and previews, and actual games to be downloaded which genuinely sell to gamers. They are worldwide and are able to be used without need of a credit card however, one is able to buy them with a credit card should one settle to use one to buy them with.   The points are able to be purchased in some stores, especially ones that sell games and consoles because they are ordinarily kept either behind the counter or out with the accessories section of the games section and they are in gift card form. They are also able to be bought online if one has a credit card since purchasing online can happen over xbox.com to get the points transferred into the Live account that the points are being purchased for. Another credit card buying alternative is going through the Xbox Live Marketplace itself and this is identical to buying them at xbox.com and the last option for having points is through the Xbox Live Gold pack and these are at retail stores like the gift cards. All of these are buying alternatives, and Xbox has gone on record as articulating that there can be points given as promotions as well when these promotions will be stayed to be seen. These microsoft points are bought in batches, typically 1600 or 2000 points at a time and they go into a special account in the Xbox live system. Then the gamer can use those to purchase points for download thus these can be maps, extra themes, extra levels, or anything plus the items are available to be browsed in the Microsoft Live market and the amount next to the microsoft points icon will tell the cost of the item.
