Rumour: Microsoft Points to be scrapped by end of 2012

4.3
The Microsoft’s Points system, used for Xbox Live Marketplace and other Microsoft marketplaces, is set to be abolished by the end of the year, according to a Inside Mobile Apps report. The site reckons that local, real-world currency will replace points. Microsoft only uses real-life money for when games are bought from Games on Demand, although the option is available to also buy them with Microsoft Points.

Microsoft Points has been around the release of Xbox 360 in 2005, and has also been around for other storefronts including Zune Marketplace, Games for Windows Live and Windows Phone 7.

BF3 So what they're basically saying is that if you want to buy stuff you're going to have to have your credit/bank card details on your account permanently?

Bad. ****. Idea.


You can do that do that if you want you weirdo.

I'll just put it on buy what i need then take my card off straight away.
Lol he's the weirdo? You're the one that would be putting on and taking off your card EVERY TIME you want something


If you knew the rumors that have been traveling around the web it would make more sense to do that instead of leaving your information on there 24/7. Say something was to happen, like, well, I don't know, your account being stolen, security breaches, anti-christ, or metorites. Better to be safe than sorry.


LISTEN ! How could you keep your credit card on your account? If someone ever hacks you , you are screwed in the ****.

It happened to me

Do not make that mistake


Thats what I do when ever I use my credit card, I take it right off after my purchase.

But on topic here, This is so stupid not everybody has a credit card that they can use... In My opinion this is the worst idea

You guys DO realize that it's just gonna change from ms points to money, like the playstation currency. You will still be able to buy the little cards at gamestop and stuff, except its gonna show money instead of msp
