Earlier this month, there were rumors going around that Microsoft would be phasing out of using Microsoft Points and changing to real currency. Although this sounded good to many Xbox Live, Zune marketplace, and Windows Phone users, the rumor was proved not true by Microsoft Switzerland.

Developers in the company had stated that they were unsure but it was possible, since sometimes they are not notified of major changes right away, but after the statement from Microsoft Switzerland to Gbase.de, saying “We can not confirm these rumors - we are currently satisfied with the current Xbox Live Business model,” it seems like it was all just wishful thinking.

Users had commented that if the conversion were to happen, they would finally be able to convert the few points they had that they were unable to buy anything with and put it into use. So although the change is not happening now, it sounds like it would be a good thing to think about in the future.

Don’t how I am supposed to react to this since I don’t own a Xbox.


wow good thing it didn’t happen now XD my brother would be happy!


Ahh, that sucks. I don’t have this or a the points but I heard that all you can do is redeem items and nothing else besides what is offered. Hopefully one day, this will happen for users who don’t need the points.
