Nope
No, there has not been a way of doing this.
No, by buying a gold membership card you just get Xbox LIVE access. No Microsoft points. But why would you PAY for your Xbox Live? You can get a FREE Xbox Live Gold Membership for free with the help of my site. It even has a video tutorial to help. (LINK at bottom)
Yes you do because you can only buy things from the market place if you have points and marketplace comes with xbox live
do you mean points, or the wireless connection?
Xbox Live Gold Membership and Microsoft Points are two separate things altogether. The 1600 points you are refering to are Microsoft Points, used to buy Add-ons, Xbox Live Arcade Games, Premium Themes and the like. This is completely independent of the Xbox Live Gold Membership, which deals with Online Play. In order to utilize Xbox Live Gold Membership, you must either buy a pre-paid card which states the amount of time you are buying, or initiate a pay plan with a credit/debit card. In short, assuming you are looking for Online Play, the 1600 points you purchased are useless
I don't think you can use the Microsoft points on the Xbox 720. I don't think there is an Xbox 720.
Yes, Xbox 360 silver membership is free. You can keep it indefinately, meaning for a lifetime or until you purchase a GOLD membership
Yes, all content on the Marketplace needs either a silver membership or gold membership in order to download content, also remember that one needs a connection to the Microsoft's Xbox Live servers in order to use Xbox Live at all.
No, those who create accounts have the chance of having a free one-month membership before having to either use prepaid cards, or using some sort of credit, or debit card to continue their membership, never has Microsoft given free points to their customers such as a situation as this.
You can purchase Microsoft points from any game store or online.
There is no way to get unlimited Microsoft Points that does not violate the Xbox Live Terms of Use.
