I think we can all agree Microsoft's use of "Microsoft Factors " as a payment technique is fairly stupid. It took a whilst, but it seems to be like Microsoft has eventually occur to the identical conclusion. A new report from The Verge promises that Microsoft has commenced to get rid of its virtual "Points" currency and additional the alternative to shell out working with true - dollars transactions with credit cards.

The changes have seemingly been made with the Windows eight beta plan, but The Verge believes the official modify will be carried out on Xbox 360 with a new dashboard update because of out later on this thirty day period. The Windows eight functioning technique is set to launch on October 26.

I'm sure for many this is a welcomed change. Prior to working with true - cash, people experienced to transfer genuine cash into Microsoft Points. The price was $ 1 for 80 Microsoft Factors. Why they chose such a random variety is pas t me, but alas, it all looks to go away soon !
