Microsoft Points 2009-08-05 23:49:50 Reply

Ugh.

Once again Microsoft continues their tradition of having a billion and six ways of helping a customer and none of which actually leading anywhere.

I'm trying to find a way to get Fallout3's addon Broken Steel for PC, but the method of purchase is so fucking confusing.

How exactly do I purchase Microsoft points? I've been bouncing through the entire bloody internet searching for a way to get 'em to no avail.

Or is there a way Microsoft will allow me to exchange MONEY for Broken Steel?

Please help, I'm going bananas here.

Ummm.....sign in on www.xbox.com and go to "Xbox Live" > Marketplace > Add Points (Right-hand side.)

Hope that helps.

you can also always go to any place that sells 360 games and buy a card with a code.

I saw that, but I don't want to buy it for X-Box, I want it for PC.

From what I can gather, it's not actually AVAILABLE for PC yet.

So... fuck it. Either way, I'll wait for it's local retail release here... which is right about the time I have to wake Green Day up, so I'll go out and do both on the 30th.

Ciao.

And yes, I mean September.

Because he's a legit "Leave No Trace" moderator.
It's good for the environment, and junk.

OP, you are an idiot, Games for windows live and Xbox live are theSAME SERVICE, points can be used either way on PC or 360.

Well, thank you for clarifying that.

Please turn 180 degrees so that I might reward you with buttlove.

I dont get why people find it hard to get it working...
just get everything to your fallout3/data folder and if you have problems, update
