(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?

Yeah, I've seen that on PSN. But isn't it region not state?

no cause tis a state tax

Oh, ok then. Well then I guess it's all about the money, but then again, when wasn't it.

state tax goes to the state sony doesnt get it :dumb: so no its not about the money its the state wanting in on profit that is gained through online another reason microsoft is doing away with points

Still about the money, just towards the state not company :dumb:

I very much doubt this will happen. MSP's are unique and a niche for microsoft.

Maybe so but it could happen, you never know what Microsoft will do next.

All of this is just speculation. However, no one is really going to know what Microsoft will do until they do it.

Oh yeah, it's definitely speculation, but I think it would be a good idea to scrap it and use currency like the PS3 does.
