Archangel Tyrael Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Microsoft will still remain using Microsoft Points on the Xbox 360 and real world currency for Windows 8. Read below for more details Source: CVG.com Speculation surrounding a possible shift to real-world currency kicked off this week when it was revealed that Microsoft's next operating system, Windows 8, will use real cash by default. In a statement to CVG, the company said that Microsoft Points "continue to be the currency for purchasing content for the Xbox 360 console". It added that Xbox Live customers will be able to purchase content on Windows 8 using stored Microsoft Points. It has been long rumoured that the Xbox firm will ultimately phase out Microsoft Points in the next generation of hardware and software.

ZΞRΘ Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I wish that we could purchase any game on xboxlive with the Microsoft points, it would be a nice change from "only being able to buy Arcade games" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robius5991 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 In a way, it's too bad that we won't be able to select the exact amount of money we would want to use (instead of sometimes overpurchasing since we need - let's say (totally hypothetical) 2000 MP, but have to buy 4800 MP since that's all there is in the store) - However, I guess for that kind of system to work it would be necessary to do the transfers online with a bank/credit card account, so in comparison, Microsoft Points cards are more user-friendly, since people with only cash have the option to go our and purchase these pre-set cards. All in all, i guess it's for the best that there will not be a change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorB77 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 That is good for me. I does not require a credit card and it relieves a lot of hassle for teenagers who go out and spend their allowance on points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you press X when they show you the price of the game. There'll be a prompt at the bottom saying "Press X to purchase with Microsoft Points" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
