Not Sure If You Noticed 

But You Just Paid In Real Currency

Today when you hopped on your Xbox 360 (figuratively) 

you probably got prompted to update. 

That is if you have Xbox Live Gold. 

 

This update had only one purpose in mind and that was to change 

from the old "Microsoft Points" to actual real life currency.

 

So for me here in the US I know see Dollar Signs ($) 

When I want to purchase a new game or get DLC.

 

In my opinion this is great I was tired of buying Microsoft point

just to pay for something else.

 

To me this makes things a lot less confusing and a little more streamline.

 

But enough about me, What do you think about this update?

 

Recent Update:

Current Microsoft point can be converted but will only be available until 

June 1, 2015.

Well, that is interesting. I guess the 40 MS points I had are now worthless? Or maybe they convert? I dunno, I'm not going on Xbox today anyways, thanks for the update though!

Don't you worry I updated the OP with some great news! Points can be reversed.

They also changed the color of the green highlight bar that shows what category your on (Xbox Dashboard, Achievements, Friends List, Etc.), when you open up the Xbox menu with your controller. They made it a shinier, darker, more detailed and in my opinion much better looking.

 

The windows, apps and tabs all seem a lot faster, smoother and less laggy, some bugs I have run into with xbox live like connection quality, signing in problems, and download or upload content failing, seem to have been fixed, and to top it off XBL itself seems more secure and stable.

 

I like it. :)
