Microsoft Points starting to be phased out
While some may like the point system, it has been widely used for Xbox Live and the Zune Marketplace to buy various forms of media and applications. Roughly 80 Microsoft Points is a dollar. However, in newer Windows 8 builds, applications and media can be paid for on a credit card, with the Microsoft Point system being used as a second option.
As for now, we can confirm that Xbox Live is still using the Microsoft point system as a method of payment, however, we could see things change when Microsoft release the new dashboard update. We’ll keep you posted if we learn more about this.

this would probably be a good idea since some people have a credit card on their account and might not want to go through the process of adding MSP

This could be hard for people who don't own credit cards. Hopefully they will provide an alternative that's just prepaid cash on the card.

I hope that they do scrub MSP. Too many people want to scam them and it is terrible for communities like TTG.

Looks like I won't be getting Windows 8 anytime soon. Terrible OS and can't even support most good software and games.
