You're talking about your gamerscore, which you increase by earning specific achievments in the games you play (you should be able to see what achievments you've unlocked from the "games" screen). However, the points used to buy arcade games, themes, etc. on the marketplace are MS points, which you have to buy.

I don't think he's posting about the points on the 360,I think he's talking about the points you earn on this site,but then again he's question would have made just as much sense if it had been in chinese.

I know what he's trying to ask is that do you earn points playing the arcade games on this site or do you just get them for posting.The answer is no(but I could be wrong cause I don't play the games).

Ah, I thought he was talking about gamerscore because he said they were the points you "buy arcade games with", plus he said he was earning them "on the 360".

Ah well, no point in dissecting the question.
