I thought it was already confirmed somewhere else that the ms points system was going to be kept for next gen consoles wasn't it? it was months ago when I remember reading that.
Perhaps they're doing what's done with the games on demand, where they show the actual price, but have you able to pay via points or direct from card. |

From what I have seen of Windows 8 I dont like it. It looks like its forced touch screen, which is fine on a tablet, but I dont want to use a touch screen PC, its a novelty that wont catch on, and I think 95% of people will continue to use the mouse and keyboard. If it aint broke dont fix it!
As for M$ points, I dont really care either way, you still have to pay for it, its just a different way of doing it. |

| Well, I prefer the system of point instead of paying real money...The reason is simple. With points a 800 points game cost me around 7 € whereas it'll cost 9,99 € if it comes to real money. 3 € is a huge difference for a 7 € game... |

i don't think they'll ever get rid of MSP. maybe an option (like in the past) where you can pay with real money will be included AS WELL AS the option to pay with MSP.
MSP, as well ans Wii points, add just one more layer of disassociation between real money, and the points. Just the same way that swiping a card is so much easier, mentally, than paying in cash. from a business perspective, MSP are here to stay. |

| This isn't news. Games for windows or w/e they want to call it now for the pc has always used real money currency. I can't think of a time on pc version of xbox live where they used microsoft points. Microsoft points as far as I'm aware has always been a console thing except for some xbox games on demand games. |

| @4 don't worry, just don't do anything stupid & spend then in fear of losing them. Their value will just be converted into your currency. It's simply a cosmetic change: Instead of paying, say, 1200MSP, you'll just see £10 instead, that's all. It makes it easier to know somethings value, instead of having to work it out. |

| @4 I'm pretty sure that if they do switch MSP for real money then they will just give you what those MSP are worth. So if you bought 1600 MSP card then they will just switch it to $20. |

I don't think that Microsoft are going to ditch ms points just yet. Not when you consider that the ms rewards scheme has only fairly recently been implemented and then there's the gamerscore reward scheme.
Also consider that they tempt you to take surveys, use bing, use apps and continue to buy addons just so you can redeem ms points. Why would they give up something that can give them so much revenue to simply go to regular money? |

It does matter. The casinos do the same thing. You generally don't play for real money. You play for chips (which costs real money). It's a trick so that people don't think too much about the money they're betting while they're playing.
Silly, but obviously it works. |

Said this before, that if they ditch the point system and enable a "cash" only transaction, where you have to use say, debit or CC to purchase XBLA and DLC content, that means no more arcade games or DLC for me. Will save me some money, but piss me off. No way, in hell, will I attach my credit card to XBL.
Doesn't PSN have a "card" system, where you can put money onto your account via cards? Like MSP cards, only it deposits money instead? Money, points... it's all cash out of your pocket in the end. |

windows phone does not use ms points. ms points will stay on xbox but cc transactions are not uncommon for app store setups. don't worry, it's just a windows 8 thing.
and windows 8 does not force touch screen. the metro tile system they show off is just the new start menu. and it works fine with a mouse. the old deskstop is still there, just does not have a start button. which sucks, but not as bad as everyone is saying. |

Everyone is kinda missing the point why it was introduced in the first place, and the whole idea behind microtransactions.
Allowing kids to use their spare change.
Getting rid of a system where u can go into retail and use your cash to convert to currency eliminates the whole idea, and destroys everything they have built up over the last 4 yrs.
They need a system to use money and wallet/msp for everything.
Xbox, windows 8 and WPhone.
Why on earth i need to use credit card for some Games on WP7, then able to use my phone bill for others, yet not use Msp is just completely stupid.

Why are so many people stuck on the thought that if they do eliminate MSP and go to real currency you'd *have* to use a credit card? They wouldn't get rid of prepaid cards and codes. You would just be buying something with a listed value of $20 instead of 1600 points, or £20 instead of whatever point amount that equals for example.

| I'm not sure why people are upset about this. Ever notice how you can buy points in 500 increments, but there is no content worth 500msp? The Msp system forces you to have more or less than you need, so you're always left out of place. Go back to cash, perfect balance is restored. |

| Why is everyone thinking that you'll have to put your credit card online if they switch to this. All that would happen if you don't want to put your credit card on there is you would go to any local store, and purchase a $20 MS card as opposed to the old 1600 points card. it changes nothing other than being taxed when you purchase the games on the arcade instead of being taxed for the card initially. like playstation |

I haven't gotten anything off xbox live for a while but I remember I used to end up with small amounts of points left over whenver I would add some to my account. Say for example something cost 1000 points but I could only buy 800 or else 1200/1600. So I'd have to spend more in order to have enough points. |

But just because they're adding something that can be bought with real money doesn't mean they're ditching MSP. I can buy GoD with real money, and I can buy all the PC content with real money. Buying videos with money means nothing as far as MSP goes. |

@18 It wouldn't change anyting on the way you buy stuff for LIVE, they will still have prepaid cards, doing away with the point system means it would say $20 instead of 1600pts on the front of it.
@31 They would be doing away with MSP system, you would still be able to buy prepaid cards, this wouldn't force you to use your credit card on LIVE.
@57 That doesn't really make any sense because if they did away with the points system you'd still have the same issues, you're money would just be left over cash instead of MSP. It wouldn't change the price of anything. |

@8
Please god no. You can get Microsoft points for free or on sale. You cannot do that with cash |

| In Canada MS points are expensive, I know that 800 points will get you a $10 add-on, but if you could buy 800 points it would cost closer to $15. I wish I could hand over a twenty, and get a card that would be worth $20 in the marketplace. But as long as MS points take our cash without us knowing how much we just wasted, I can expect to see them for a while. |

Some of you guys are scared to put your CC on the xbox for a split second to purchase something? I do it all the time.... AND THEN YOU DELETE YOUR CC INFO EASILY RIGHT FROM THE XBOX ITSELF. No big deal.
My only concern is I have a shitload of Amazon gift cards that I've been waiting to redeem into MSP. Now I'm not sure if I should wait or not.. |

| I'm 100% sure this was confirmed months ago, and pretty sure it was confirmed on this site.(if not during an e3 conference) |

| I dont see why it matters. But they probably will ditch the ms points. I get them for free alot from bing and you can get them on sale as well. You cant get cash for cheaper lol. More money for Microsoft YAY? |

| My only concern is the loss of programs like XBox live rewards and Bing rewards. Am I going to redeem my Bing rewards points for cash instead of MS points? Either way, as long as I keep getting free stuff it's all good. |

| @2 You should actually try something before you make a judgment on it. I have Win 8 on 3 PC's at home and none of them are touch screen. Win 8 is by far the best operating system I've ever used and I've Tried them all. It still needs a few things sorting but it is still in the beta stage of development and MS have said there is gonna be a big update for it on release. |
