There's always extra content to spend it on, whether it be an addon map pack to a previous game or a theme to spice up your background or a picture pack. If you find not anything in particular interested to you, perhaps you should keep the remaining points for future use as there are always new content and interesting items avaliable on the market each week by a few and in a slow process... Pathetic isn't it?

Nope, no Halo 3. I wasn't too good at Halo 2 so I decided not to bother. I probably don't need another shooter (at least until GeoW2) so I probably won't get Battlefield:BC. I've been looking around XBLA and nothing seems too interesting, save Castlevania and maybe Metal Slug. And yes, I do agree that the slow trickle of gaming content on XBL is pretty pathetic.

That's why I was thinking of making a donation of 800 MS points to the homeless! I mean, why let it sit around unused for months and months?

Get Halo 3, then save them for the Legendary map pack.

Or get two XBLA hits, there are several good ones, like Doom.

Save the 800 points you might need it next time, sometimes there might be something you like later on.

Buy a XBLA game that you and your girlfriend/wife could enjoy together. You could also wait for GTA IV (if purchasing) and use it for extra download content. I also have 800 points and i'm debating on using it for the pinball arcade game or wait for downloadable content for GTA IV. I already used 800 for the COD4 map packs.

There are a number of XBLA games that are fun. Some suggestions for your consideration:

1. Ultra Marble Blast is a fun little game. I believe it is on sale or is going on sale soon. It has decent multiplayer.

2. A social card game like Hardwood Spades or Hardwood Hearts. The coversations you have with other players are often as entertaining and colorful as the game itself.

3. A strategy board game such as Catan or Carrcassonne.

4. If you can remember the early 80's, consider getting coin op. game to relive your old arcade glories. :)

Good luck!

P.S. I suppose you could do something selfless with the points. I am not sure how you could actually give it to the homeless, but you could offer to download a movie or TV show for someone. (parents, wife, girlfriend, roomate, etc.).

Buy it if you want worse guns that is. The best guns are already all in the game. (XM8 for Assault, Spas 12 for shotgun, XM8 LMG for LMG, snipers are all basically the same) The one exception is probably the XM8 Compact Assault Rifle for that class, but even that isn't hands down better.

Anyway, as to what you should buy...I suppose if you have to spend them now an XBLA game, my pick would be N+.

n+ IT IS THE BEST ARCADE GAME BY FAR. the single player has over like 300 levels, and the online is really fun because you can play 4 play co op, which is also available if you have friends over to play on the same 360. it's BY FAR the best arcade game. 800 points.

Buy an xbla game. If you want an xbox original buy it from the store you get the box,game,and manuel. It'll be bettter and save you room on your hardrive in my opinion.
