(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?

Probably not the best of ideas though. Just from one viewpoint, what if a customer has a bunch
of unused MS Points? Will those become obsolete and unable to be used? Those are the types of
things they have to think about if they decide to do this.

I suppose you're right. I guess a conversion would probably not be on the cards?

I had my card details on my ps3 but switched to xbox right before that whole hacking fiasco that happened a year ago or something. I prefer msp because it is a secure way of buying without having to enter your details into the xbox.

I wouldn't want it removed. Maybe the option to pay in real cash but still keeping msp as another option would be good

I would have to disagree, using real money would save people a lot of time.
