Now you'll actually know how much you're spending without doing calculations!

BDB Will the current MSP points from the 360 get transferred? I hope they do, because I don't want to spend my MSP in a hurry :)


I doubt they will transfer dude...


why? if we're using the same account to login to xbox one, why would we lose our money?

I like this, more accurate pricing with local currency.

BDB I don't get this, somebody explain? Especially this part: "Now you'll actually know how much you're spending without doing calculations!"


It will say how much you have spent. When you buy MSP they don't say how much you have spent, so say you buy 4000 MSP, that's $50 but if you buy more and spend more you won't know how much money you have spent unless you keep a tab on everything. If you use money you will always know how much you have spent.


Ohhh! That's a pretty good feature to be honoest!

NinjaWizard I'm going to stick to 360 so hopefully they continue MSP for it.


I think that they'll abandon the 360 2 years after the XBOX One, like not updating it anymore and stuff. The 360 will die.


Ehh possibly, they might stop doing updates for it but the Xbox 360 won't be dying out anytime soon, just like the PS3 won't be dying out anytime soon. There will always be gamers who will stick with those consoles.
