Use
Microsoft Points are the official currency of the Xbox Live Marketplace, including Xbox Live Arcade. They can be used at the Xbox Live Marketplace to purchase games, themes, Gamertag pictures, original Xbox titles, game expansion material (vehicles, maps, songs, etc.) and other downloadable content. They can also be used to change a user's Gamertag. Points are region specific and non-transferable so points purchased, for example, with a US account will not be accepted for purchases in any other region. As of November 22, 2006 (2006 -11-22), users in some regions have also been able to purchase videos and television episodes from the Marketplace; however, many regions, such as Australia, are still paying comparatively more (on the exchange rate) for a service that does not provide any of this content. Microsoft Points and purchases made with them are non-refundable.
Microsoft Points can be used at the Zune Marketplace just as they can on the Xbox Live Marketplace, and they are transferable between the two systems.
Both the Zune Marketplace and Xbox Live Marketplace Points can be purchased in increments of 400 in the US.

Famous quotes containing the word use:
“... it is use, and use alone, which leads one of us, tolerably trained to recognize any criterion of grace or any sense of the fitness of things, to tolerate ... the styles of dress to which we are more or less conforming every day of our lives. Fifty years hence they will seem to us as uncultivated as the nose-rings of the Hottentot seem today.”
—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)
