Forgive my ignorance as I have not been on xbox live.

What is the significance of the 1000 points, what are the points used for if you have 12 months xbox live subscription? Ta

Some of the marketplace content requires you to have points to download it, you have to buy the points either via credit card or a prepay points card.

EDIT:

Freely accessible to anyone with a broadband connection, Xbox Live Marketplace is a digital download centre providing free and premium content for games, as well as entertainment content such as movie trailers and music videos.

Premium Xbox Live Marketplace content will be available for purchase with Microsoft Points. Microsoft Points is a new stored-value system that will let consumers purchase a number of points, and then redeem those points for content online, ranging from gamer pictures and themes to full game downloads on Xbox Live Arcade.

Microsoft Points will be available for purchase at participating retail stores and via the Xbox Live Dashboard.
