(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 guess it'd be 'easier' but I will say that it's a part of the XBL Marketplace that makes it unique I'm so accustomed to saying Microsoft Points that changing it after this long would just be ya know weird.. I'd probably still say Microsoft points so I guess it wouldn't make much a difference, maybe except for older parents buying points for kids and they'd actually like to know what there getting for the cash there paying

yes everyone but they also have a paypal option. If anything make payment methods easier witch I dont know how I dont see a problem. Mainly because of the key-gens that TRULY work witch are none. They all had worked from HTML code within the transfer. I had found out once then some kid on another site wanted it for eFame so he got it. I am just called a script kiddie cause apparently I didnt find it

Seems like a better idea i think, better it say i am paying 20 dollars for a an arcade game etc. rather than 1600 msp.

MSP was a nice original idea for Microsoft.
Would be a shame for it to go.

Finally, hate paying for a bundle of points when I only need X ammount to pay for something. Great idea hope they go through with it.

It was nice but I think if they do do it then it will be better for most people.



It would be pretty much the same yup, but that just means it's less awkward.



Definitely, probably the best idea they have had in a long time so hope they go through with it.

cause they can then charge tax for the downloads depending on what state you live in , psn already does this
