I get the feeling Microsoft make more money by using 'Points' instead of proper currency like the Pound and Doller.

i mean come on...
Microsoft Points are a alternate payment method for those people who don't have a Credit Card.
this is pointless -_-
that guy loses and microsoft wins. and if that guy has a 360 account it will be monitored for a whole -_-
So tell me why they couldn't go Sony's route and just use REAL money for their MS cards instead of points. Win-win for everybody, for those with CC's and those without them.

if they were to rewrite their system then the marketplace would be down for atleast 1 month.
depends on how many things have to be rewritten.
also xbox live payments wouldn't be accessible and membership payments method have to be removed towards the site for subscription. and i don't see that fitting somewhere on the bigger picture. because most usual payment methods woulda be like paypal or paybycash or paybysms or paybyphone. and seeing that there are alot of FF players on xbox360 aswell and even PSU and more
and i don't dare to have a argument with a no-refund policy instead of a calculation worth of points.
i am happy with the points i got
but i won't be needing them soon maybe due to my CC request
hopefully this clarify things up
I don't agree at all! Look at the DLC for Unreal Tournament 3, it's incredibly good (better than any other DLC I've come across) and free. There's also the Singstar Viewer (meh) and Metal Gear Database (cool!) for free. Additionally, there are a lot of demos and videos, but Xbox Live's got that too.Edgedancer said:There are a couple of things for free like Dash of Destruction and some DLC but mainly if you want anything good, you have to pay.fgghjjkll said:And also to note, NOTHING in the xbox marketplace is free. There are some free channels on the wii shop channel. dunno bout the playstation network
Ditto, I like the way PSN is setup for making purchases.R2DJ said:I doubt this lawsuit will go that far, but I do agree that MS should abandon the currency system. I'd rather buy things the PSN way...
