I already hate their credit card system enough!
I can't remove the credit card I have on there without putting another on. Why?
Luckily I had an empty VISA prepaid hanging around ;)
Anyways, Bad Idea. Please, Please, Please don't do this.

Oklahoma- why would they what if i dont have a credit card
they would probly sell codes in store with values of 5 10 20 and so on, then you add that cash value to your account.
im sure MS will add something like this its not like they would want to lose out on money

LittlePony Whoa, all of the credit card stealers, will be coming to XBL, to host "10th lobbys" but they need to "Recover your account first."
This is dumb, what if I don't have paypal/creditcard, so I'm screwed?
They'll probably do the same thing PSN does, instead of Microsoft Point cards, it'll just be cards with money value. (i.e. 1600 = $20, 800 = $10)

Interesting, not a fan of this possible move.
What will become of those with points on their accounts?

So what they're basically saying is that if you want to buy stuff you're going to have to have your credit/bank card details on your account permanently?
Bad. ****. Idea.

this probably has something to do with retailers charging microsoft to sell the points
