This might be a dumb question but am I able to use my earned gamerpoints towards downloads? If so, how? Or do I simply have to give up my credit card number if I want to get shivering isles through the marketplace?    Thanx in advance.

Gamerpoints do not count towards dlc's.

You can get points to download by dlc's by putting in your credit card number and buying them or by going anyplace that sells Xbox stuff and buying a points card wiht cash so you don't have to put in a credit card number.

that would be cool if you could use the gamer points for downloads instead of having to pay microsoft even MORE money and buying the MS points.

Or just do a reward system. like xboxrewards, if you get 1000 achivement points, you get 200 MS points to go use to by some thing.

To put it simply Gamerscore is simply a clever way for Microsoft to make money.

There are Gamerpoints, wich you earn and there are M$ points wich you spend.  You can't spend gamerscore points.

Umm... you are aware he's not talking about a hypothetical system? There is a gamerscore challenge system - give me a minute I'll post you a link . Basically, you raise your gamerscore 1500 points in a certain timespan and you get a prize. Looks like the Old Spice challenge finished, but they should have a new one up at some point.
