Microsoft local currency pricing on Xbox Marketplace items an 'error'
"Today, a few Avatar items appeared with an option to purchase with local currency, instead of Microsoft Points," a company spokesperson told Joystiq. "This display error doesn't signal a change in payment options, but rather an error in how the offers were configured in our services which resulted in an inconsistent experience. It is in the process of being resolved."
Initially it appeared this conversion was the beginning of the rumor from earlier this year that Microsoft would do away with its space bucks in favor of real currency. But, that simply seems to not be the case at this time.

Amp_Emazing-LightsMazurM60MazurM60MazurEmazing-LightsM60 I like how they added the option to do this
Yeah I like feature aswell as I wont have to just use MSP just to buy something.
they added this option??
If not they will be soon anyway
cool, i'll be using it then!
I would but i have nothing to buy it with
you could buy indie games, or some old games you haven't played yet!
Yeah indie games are really cheap like some are $1.
They aren't anything special either, I see why some are so sweet.
Some are boring but i just like playing trials
