Microsoft Dropping MS Points? [Jan 24, 2012, 10:26 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Microsoft is planning on dropping its MS Points virtual currency by the end of the year, reports Inside Mobile Apps, quoting an anonymous "source with knowledge of the company’s decision." They say this will affect online sales through Windows Phone, the Zune marketplace, and Xbox LIVE. Word is: "By the end of 2012, all transactions will be based on the region set on the purchasing account and real money will be used to purchase all Windows Phone content. The move puts the Windows Phone Marketplace in line with the purchasing practices used in the App Store and the Android Market." Thanks IndustryGamers.

Optimist: Microsoft finally decided to listen to the customers.
Pessimist: Microsoft wants to launch a product that is incompatible with MS points for technical or legal reasons.
People won't tolerate the MS Point system on their silly phones that no one wants, this is probably some platform unifying effort.
