(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I have been browsing the internet lately and found something about Microsoft scraping the idea of Microsoft points to use real money instead?

Here is what the article says..

"Good news, haters of arbitrary online currencies! The end for Microsoft's confusing "Points" system may be near, if a report on Inside Mobile Apps is to be believed.

The mobile site claims that Microsoft's Points will be "phased out" by the end of 2012, with transactions to be listed in a user's local currency instead.

The move wouldn't just impact Xbox Live, it would affect the Zune Marketplace and Windows Phone users as well.

One has to wonder, given the timing of the (potential and unconfirmed) move, whether the spate of Xbox Live account break-ins is behind the change.

We've contacted Microsoft for comment, and will update if we hear back."

What do you guy's think? Do you think they cause confusion? Do you think it would be better to bring in the money system instead of points?

I just think the money thing will be the best thing but that is just me I don't think they will get rid of one point system and throw in another would be pretty pointless.

I don't have a debit card so this would be a problem for many of us users.

they are basically changing it to the ps3 version/way

They will probably keep Paypal option so you should be alright but nothing has been confirmed so you'll be alright


I don't think anything has been confirmed yet.

I think they will confirm as alot of accounts are being sold. 6K MSP Ect.

Guess we will have to wait and see.

well ive got 4500 ms points since 3 years lol, i hope they dont just kill it !

Im pretty sure they would transfer what you have into the new thing they do IF they do something else..
