Customer Service Desk—Redeem Code, Active Download, and
Account Management Sections
The last three sections of the Xbox Live Marketplace
have less to do with actually purchasing something
and more to do with making the process smooth
and painless.To ensure a pleasant trip to the Marketplace, you
need an easy means to purchase points, change your
account settings, and monitor your purchases. Think
of this as the customer service desk at the mall, with
a map of the mall attached....

Try Before You Buy
Games cost Microsoft Points, and Microsoft Points

Just because Xbox Live Arcade games are compara-
tively cheap and easy to access doesn’t mean they

online multiplayer (Gold subscription required), use
voice chat, compare your scores via leaderboards,
unlock achievements, and earn 200 points toward
your gamerscore.Some of the games feature 720p graphics and

tional content can be purchased on the Xbox Live
Marketplace...
