Q: Since I have only just started using my Xbox live 1 month free trial (after already having my xbox for one year). I was wondering, do i get 1 free download which cost 800 marketplace points? I have Call of Duty 4 and want the variety map pack. Thanks
A: MS Points are completely separate from a Live subscription. I have two 12 month Gold subscriptions, and have never received free MS Points. Keep in mind that MS Points are used as an alternate revenue to MS, and are geared towards purchasing Arcade games, addons, videos, etc. I would definitely not plan on any 'free' points.
