This Microsoft update about points to dollars is pissing me off!?

Yeah. At least in the US, this is sh*t. So now I'm going to be taxed when I buy a points card AND when I spend them. How the f*ck is that going to work?

"This game is $20. You bought a $20 Xbox card. With tax, it comes out to $21. Sorry! Better buy another card to make up the difference!"

Microsoft, I know that points don't work well everywhere, but they do here in the US, so... why not switch the rest of the world to currency and leave us alone!?

And PS everybody, the currency, unlike points, expires.

Also, it seems to me that the xbox guide graphics changed a little with the update. Can anyone confirm this?

So do I lose my current points... like, if I don't spend them soon because of this change?

Now my question is, I had like 50 points left on my account but don't see anything for currency. Yeah, it would only be like 50 cents or something but it's the fact of the matter. I paid for those points and they should be converted into some kind of currency. What's up with that?

I had a left over balance of a $1 and they let me use it towards a purchase. 

I loved msp. I got so many good deals on them and ended up paying way less with them.

Sucks they changed it.
