M$ being naughty again...

The price of games on Xbox Live will go up once the impending, in-beta-testing Xbox 360 dashboard update rolls out.

This update converts existing Microsoft Points into real-world, local currency, and does so the moment you try to buy something, a tipster told us. Unfortunately, beta testers are not warned this will happen.

1200 Microsoft Points converted into real money, however, no longer affords what a previously 1200MSP game now costs.

Said our tipster:

• 1600MSP games are now £14.99; previously this was the equivalent of £13.60
• 1200 MSP games are now £11.99, previously £10.20
• 800 MSP games are now £8.99, an even bigger increase - previously this was £6.80
• 400 MSP games are now £4.49, previously £3.20

M$ why you keeps breaking my heart :( you dodgy slag

So? 1200 MSP is equivalent to $14.99. Are they saying that games will be more than that?

Noghty?

Are you volunteering ?

we should get water sprayer and spray water on MS when they do something naughty

So is this a case of Eurpeans getting shafted once more?

Or is it just someone trying to spin a good thing into something bad? (seriously we should be happy that MSpoints are gone.)

Oh, I see where this thread is starting to go...

Basically games will cost more because we loose out few pounds

• 1600MSP games are now £14.99; previously this was the equivalent of £13.60
• 1200 MSP games are now £11.99, previously £10.20
• 800 MSP games are now £8.99, an even bigger increase - previously this was £6.80
• 400 MSP games are now £4.49, previously £3.20

Thats what you get for being in bed with Microsoft. Being part of the master race, I use steam. I wish I would bring you console fellows up to our level but you seem to like this, for some reason. :<

Thats not true at all, the prices will be the same as they are on PSN. Its the fact XBL stuff with points has always been cheaper then PSN stuff which is why I don't welcome this change.

But yeah, this is a bad thing that we now have to pay the extortionate prices cows have been paying for years :cool:
