Rejoice! Microsoft Points Are Dead!

Briefly: We all knew that it was coming, but the day that we’ve all been waiting for is finally here. Microsoft Points are DEAD!

An Xbox 360 software update was pushed today that officially removed all traces of the antiquated points system from the console.  Now, instead of points, users will see real dollar prices, and any current points will be converted to their local currency. Converted points can be used tax-free, though any new purchases will be taxed at the user’s local taxation rate.

This precedes the Xbox One launch this holiday season, which will use standard currency, and not points, from launch day.

Are you happy about the change? Or angry that it didn’t happen years ago? Sound out below!
