    Ok folks I decided to bite the bullet and get myself a 360 over the weekend!!

    A few questions if anyone can answer them for me that would be great!!

    1: On the wired controllers there is a port type thing at the end of the pad, what is it used for??
    2: Is the only way to get points to buy stuff online in live through getting a points scratch card in a games shop??
    3: On my gamertag (i have not gone online yet) it has given me 20points or something like that for an achiecment in PGR3!! Whats that about??

    Cheers!!

    1. For a mic
    2. The cards in store or a credit card through live.
    3. They're gamer points, you get them for achieving certain things in games. Its just there for bragging rights, nothing else.

    1. The port on top is used by the play & charge kit.

    The port on the underside is used for the headset.

    2. yeah, you can buy points in certain gameshops.

    3. Gamerscore

    The Gamerscore is a measure that corresponds to the number of "Achievement" points accumulated by an Xbox Live user. These Achievement points are awarded for the completion of game-specific challenges, such as beating a level or amassing a specified number of wins against other players in Xbox Live matches. The majority of mass-market Xbox 360 games offer up to 1000 points spread over a variable number of Achievements and each Xbox Live Arcade contains 12 achievements that total 200 points. Achievements surprisingly became a very potent system seller for the console.
