Around the announcement of the Xbox one by Microsoft where a few thing's said about Microsoft Points. Since the launch of the Xbox 360 Xbox Live users pay their games, add-ons, DLCs and avatar items with Microsoft Points. Many users would much prefer to see the amounts involved instead of Microsoft Points so you do not always need to calculate everything around. And therefore, Microsoft will change this. At the next system update of the Xbox 360 No more points but just money. Local currency, so we are going to pay in euros/dollars instead of Microsoft Points.
This is clear as water for you and me, but on the other hand you still can get the Microsoftpoints significantly below their retail price here
and there . Ten euro remains just ten euros, so this will be a lot harder in the future. If you still have some Microsoft Points codes that you can redeem then you do not have to rush. Your
current Microsoft Points are just settled into real currency and then
Microsoft will always use the same value or even a slightly higher
value. If the Xbox One comes out then it will start right away with real currency. The disappearance of the Microsoft Points implies that Microsoft now can distribute giftcards. Major Nelson also says on his blog that buying items will now be much easier and
that every possible method of payment will be available for each region also credit cards. Towards the end of this year, the changes will take place.
"Earlier this year, we Announced That we are bringing local currency to One Xbox and Xbox 360 consoles. This change was a direct result of customer feedback. You told us you want to be bootable to buy things using money instead of points, and we listened.
Major Nelson:
Our goal is to make this transition as easy as possible for you. After the next Xbox 360 system update, when you go to buy something or redeem a Microsoft Points card or code with your Microsoft account, we'll add to your account an amount of currency equal to or greater than the value of your Microsoft Xbox Marketplace Points, whichwill be retired.
Making a purchase will be faster and easier than ever. You will see item prices overexpressed in local currency, no need to calculate what an item costs! You will still be bootable directly to purchase content from Xbox stores using any current form of payment available in your region, zoals credit cards. And starting in late 2013, you'll be bootable usefull to buy new Xbox Gift Cards (denominated in your local currency) through our online retailers and in local retail stores. These gift cards can be added to your Microsoft account online and are another easy-to-use payment option for customers.
Do not worry about your Microsoft Points Cards either. We'll continuous to accept purchased Microsoft Points Cards and codes until further Top notice, and we'll add to your account an amount of local currency equal to or greater than the value Marketplace Of Those points. In addition, we know you've worked hard on your earned Microsoft Points through Xbox Live Rewards. These Will Remain in your Xbox Live account and transition to local currency with the rest of your Microsoft Points. "
