It took Microsoft’s entire existence in gaming, but they’re finally getting with the times. The absurd, moon money system of “Microsoft Points” has been abolished, replaced by a common sense move to use direct dollar amounts for purchases on Xbox Live. Previously, the currency system utilized MS Points, which is well and good. However, MS Points didn’t have a direct 1:1 exchange rate to USD. Instead, for example, 80 MS Points would be the equivalent of $1.00, creating a monopoly of Monopoly money in the gaming world.

Now, Xbox gamers can finally purchase games, DLC, etc. directly with proper dollar amounts instead of exchanging them into a fake currency. It almost took a decade, but the problem is finally being resolved. Now, all of you Scrooge McDucks who have hoarded MS Points can still keep your money bags of moon bucks for future purchases as the Xbox One is prepared for release this fall.
