Microsoft finally makes Microsoft Points easier to figure out with a half baked solution

April 11, 2010 in Blog comments 3

Microsoft finally got rid of the annoying business practice of forcing gamers to buy a minimum of 500 points. Most items for sale are in increments of 400 points, making those extra points practically useless. It's about time!

You should just do what Sony does, which is list the ACTUAL price of the item. You know, "This game is $10.00 to download." See, you are lucky that you didn't give me a reward for my last idea, because even that was bit half baked.

    At last, I haven't ever thought buying points is a stupid ida but the fact that you have to get MORE than you actually want i a bit of a piss take. Hopefully now Microsoft will also drop the prices of avatar items as people will see what they are actually paying for there items.

    Never saw the point in Avatar items, the already available stuff is more than enough *shrugs* but good to hear about this

    There is still the problem of many items being priced at 560. You're still required to spend more than needed.
