Does anyone know of any contests or giveaways? I know that Tropicana was giving away 48 hour codes but that ended a long time ago. I'm really interested in MS Points since I tend to buy 13 months of XBL at a time. For some reason it's harder for me to want to pay to download arcade games. I think they should be free with the gold subscription but oh well. If anyone can help let me know.

Inside Xbox had announced a contest and they were giving away microsoft points. I don't remember if it had ended....
I would just pay attention to the Inside xbox icon on your dashboard for any contests and stuff like that.

I found a site through some forums I go to. It's a lot of busy clicking but if you have the patience you can get just about anything for free through the site. I got some MS Points through there. Here's a link to the forums, it talks about what you need to do and the XBL gold and MS points you can get.
