Crono...cuz the Xbox is dead and this is the last thing you'll ever purchase for it...why make it universal now?

Crono -- You can use a credit card to make Xbox purchases, no need for clumsy points. I prefer the direct billing system myself, no need for obfuscatory denominations.

I would buy these... buy everytime I play Halo online, I get so thoroughly beaten, I just slump off into a corner, or back into the arms of Tribes....

So I have absolutely no idea how to update my account information since everything on my acct so far has been paid for with membership cards and point cards. Where do I go to add my credit card?

I have a conspiracy theory, sort of. I think that MS wants to throw a price drop on the 360. But, they know a lot of people are waiting for Halo3 to purchase one. The Halo3 beta is maybe a way to massage 360 purchases out of some of those Halo fantatics.
Releasing Halo2 maps I think is just to earn some dough. People will want them and buy them and everybody is happy.
I honestly think MS won't reduce the 360 price until after Halo3 runs its course. But, they kind of need to because its been 1.5 years and sales are slowing down. The Elite will provide the things that some people have been waiting on. Others, though, are waiting for Halo3, price drop, or just more games in general.

serotoninzero: I had to figure that out to -- You can edit your membership information in the 360 Dashboard by clicking on your gamertag.

Ah, thanks for the help. I actually just figured it out before that by going a backwards way and going through the purchase microsoft points section. Ended up buying an extra 500 to add to the 300 I had. Can't do anything but waste points on themes if you only have 300. Probably was a good investment in the long run. I just realized that I'll get these maps and won't be able to do anything with them for a week anyway since nobody on my list plays custom games... Anybody want to join up and play a few?

Hah, okay now I'm really confused. I have an old credit card on here, I guess, but it's expired and not in use anymore. I added my other one, but it defaults to the old one and I can't figure out how to delete it. The updater just gives me an error when I try because I assume its going for the out-of-date card. Any ideas on this one?

Eh. I updated that card with a different card's information and I still get the error. Lame. Doesn't look like I'll be trying out these maps right now.

Nice trick. Will it be possible in the future on Joystiq to allow us to edit our own comments if we make a boo boo.

Wow, okay sorry for posting so much, but I just chose a unused silver membership on my console with no connection to any credit cards and it worked. I wonder where the money's going to get taken from..?

I heard that in a few weeks they are going to make the maps free, is it true 'cos I think I read it on xbox360fanboy and we all know how unreputable the company that owns that is, Weblogs Inc if I remeber correctly. LMAO

mattclarkie: I can't find a post anywhere on X360F that says that, and site lead Richard Mitchell can't either. Got a link?
Also, it's a safe bet these will ultimately be free. Look at every other Halo 2 map pack released to date. In a few weeks? I think that's a bit unlikely, don't you?

Forgive me for coming late to the party, but do I understand correctly that I will need to access these maps using my original XBOX console and the old XBOX Live account I had for it? Am I not able to access these same maps by simply playing Halo 2 on my XBOX 360?

I read it somewhere, maybe not 360fanboy. But you obviously missed the sarcasm in my post. I love 360fanboy, and thought it's sister site could take a joke. I was obviously mistaken.
I noticed that the download was slow, but assumed it must have been the numbers downloading it.
