Microsoft Points are gone – Xbox Live now deals in real currency only

4.6
Latest Xbox 360 system update replaces your Microsoft Points with cash equivalent

The planned retirement of Microsoft Points has been rolled out with the latest Xbox 360 system update, which is ready to be applied the next time you take your console online. Once the update has been installed, the ability to use Microsoft Points as a payment method are removed from Xbox Live and replaced with local currency prices on all digital purchases. Finally, any Microsoft Points you have are magically transformed into real money denominations.

The following message is displayed the next time you choose to buy something from Xbox Live:

The Xbox stores are now priced in your local currency instead of Microsoft Points.

Your account and everything sold in the Xbox stores will now use your local currency. We’re putting [local currency cash equivalent] in your Microsoft account.

_Bale Microsoft points were fine as they was, it didn't need changing


No they sucked, Always had to spend more money than I needed to on MSP to download something and then having some left over and nothing to spend them on. They should have never used them in the first place.

I wonder what the current exchange rate is?

Oasis Had this since the beta, still unsure if I like it or not.


Prefered previously as you can get mad discounts from shops for msp cards. Though the exchange rate for msp> is 100-1 so it's worth buying some cards.
