Wasnt there some XBL downtime in Jan? and anyone effected during that time got some Points IIRC
Just asked my friend if his xbox live account had been bumped up by 500. His account went from 20 to 520 yesterday for no apparent reason.
none for me
haven't been on XBL for a while
yep i got 500 points for free
I dunno since I can't remember what my total was before today!

(")_(")
Been a Live member for 2 years running and didn't get any
Oh wait.. I had 20 points and they're gone..
non for me still got the 1700 i had at the beginning of the week
I've lost 500 points, had 950, now I have 450.
Going to send a quick email off.
EDIT: I lost my points because it was on a points card I got free with the camera and they have expiredI bit crap but at least I know why they have gone.
As for where the 500 points are coming from, I read some people on other forums are saying that it's do with refunding the people who lost 500 points from ordereing GTA from Game but never used them.

Living and dying laughing and crying
Once you have seen it you will never be the same
Life in the fast lane is just how it seems
Hard and it is heavy dirty and mean
Seems pretty naff that they would have points which suddenly expire anyway, just another way to rip you off I suppose, encouraging you to buy quickly- a bit like Orange always trying to push "free" texts on me if i buy a £4 bundle before such a date etc...
I've just checked i have 500 points too, got a message through that says
"Dear Xbox LIVE customer, we deposited 500 points to your account, at no charge, in relation to the GTA IV 500pts pre-sell promotion. We apologize for any inconvenience you might have experienced. Thanks for your continued support of the LIVE experience!"
i preordered gta, and haven't got any additonal points
Where did you pre-order it from? i think it was a Game station promotion
I didn't get any points into my account. Oh well i have plenty anyway to last me.
