Microsoft: Xbox 360 users will soon be able to gift money to friends
"Full flow for gifting $ to friends via 360 will be turned on soon. Not yet!"— Mike Ybarra
An exact release date on the feature has not been announced, but Ybarra did state that the feature will be implemented soon. While this might be a fairly interesting feature, one has to wonder if this will come to the Xbox One or remain an Xbox 360 exclusive. Another thing to note is that Ybarra did make use of the "$" which could indicate that this might first roll out in the United States and only offer support for the US dollar.
The update is the first opportunity that gamers have to gift money between consoles, where previously users would have to purchase prepaid Xbox codes for a transfer to a friend. It has yet to be seen whether the money is contained within the Xbox ecosystem, or whether users can export it to their linked bank accounts.

This is a nice feature to add. I used to pay for my friends to change their name, now instead of buying them a card and giving them a code I can just send money to them. Awesome.

Activated Why wasnt this feature brought out sooner for 360? It would be nice if it came to the One sooner or later before the next new gen
Yea it seems almost at the end of their cycle they put it in. I think they're gonna treat it like a beta. If it does good there then we on the One will ses it.

RepBanditZTG No no no no no! This is bad, this will encourage more people hacking into accounts and scamming people to get their accounts...
I totally agree man. People hacked accounts before this will only give them access to your money!
That's the reason to not trust anyone. Simple really.

TrapMusicMickers Screw the 360. Get this to current gen!
Yeah, not everyone has that kind of money.
Its been out for 3 years, homeless people could save 300$ up over 3 years...

This seems like it's going to be a great feature. But I think it's going to cause a lot more of scamming.
Either way I'm going to be making bank because my friends love me.
