Actually it is more than that, MSFT has now created its own currency and rather than being effecient and providing change that is liquid and the ability to purchase just what one needs they have created their own currency that is ineffecient to their advantage but they figure that the consumer will put up with it because their product is so great. They forgot they don't have a monopoly on the games market yet. My conspiracy theory is that this is just a way for them to take over the world. Think about this, how many people in how many countries are buying msft points? How long until you no longer buy msft software/services for your computer for home or business but buy points that can be used for said products? I do not plan to operate this way but how long will it be until I am forced to? My kids will willing buy points to get them games tehy want. MSFT is smart in getting the kids to buy into the system early so they can get used to it for the rest of their lives. When MSFT buys starbucks and an oil company or two we are screwed. I wonder if Bill and Melinda give the poor kids in Africa points?
