	It is about time really. There isn't any reason needed other than "it is stupid" to get rid of them anyways. Why should I have to do a conversion at all when purchasing stuff from XBL? Straight cash is the way to go. ------------------- So what's the use of knowing the truth if no one's gonna believe you?

	quote George2 quote Fury quote George2 The problem with the MS points system at the moment is that it's either 500, 1000 and so on. You may want something that is 800 like an arcade game but have to pay for 200 extra points that you don't need. It should be the same as how it is when you buy something online, you just pay for what you want. Not any longer, they changed that over a year ago. You mean about how many MS points you have to buy? I had to boy MS points the other day and just had them choices. I'm looking at it right now and it has 400, 800, 1600, 4000, and 6000 for me. Maybe they only changed it for North America? I'm not sure. Edit: Yeah, here is a news story for it. They only mention North America though. -------------------

	Stupid how that's only in North America because buying them in 400's makes a lot more sense since nearly everything is priced in multiples of 400. ------------------- [Twitter]

	I see a problem with this for those of us who like to use cards. I don't know about you guys but I see deals on MSP cards all the time, like a 1600 point card costing $15 when it's worth $20. Can't imagine you'll see this once MS switches over. ------------------- ~You promised to return to me. And I believed.~

	As long as they keep the prepaid card option. Honestly they should incorporate both. The hard currency and ms points. ------------------- If I ask you for sex, will your answer be the same as the answer to this question?

It should be the same as how it is when you buy something online, you just pay for what you want. Personally, I've never had this problem, but then again I am the kind of person who spends money as soon as he has it. While it is slightly annoying that you can only get set amounts as George said, I think it'd be easier if they used some kind of system that let you choose how many you wanted and then told you how much it was. Surely its not that hard for MS to implement that kind of thing... As far as the change goes: I'm not too fussed, as long as the pre-paid cards stay. ------------------- Please subscribe to me:http://www.youtube.com/user/masterkeaton1000

	quote Phil Anselmo Jokes on you guys. Article says end of 2012, aka end of the world. Have fun making micro transactions in your post apocalyptic world. I wouldn't fall for the "world's going to end" stuff this year...It's a rumor that won't happen...Anyway, I don't think it's a good idea for Microsoft to be phasing out Microsoft points at all.With hackers taking peoples accounts and using their credit card information to buy content on their system is already causing problems...Unless Microsoft is planning to turn the Microsoft points card into Microsoft money card, theirs going to be a problem with customers not liking this idea at all. quote Distortion I see a problem with this for those of us who like to use cards.

I agree with you on your post...I see that Game Stop makes a lot of sales and 30% off deals on Microsoft points,xbox live,and other xbox stuff all the time...They even did a special where 12 months of live cost $39.99, not a bad deal buying two instead of one. ------------------- Beta tested the following: Call of Duty: WAW, Spec.
