A source close to Inside Mobile Apps is reporting that Microsoft may ditch their current points system in favor of straight cash purchases. Microsoft is currently denying the rumor, so take this news with a grain of salt.

If indeed true, then the switch from points to cash would offer less confusion to  account balances and various marketplace prices. Microsoft had addressed the purchase of 500 point increments earlier last year by giving Xbox Live users the choice of 400, 800, 1600 options. However, since its inception, Microsoft Points have been harder to deduce their actual worth in "real world" currency, so a change to straight cash would be welcome. This is one rumor that we sure hope is true.

Earlier this week, Capcom teased the existence of Resident Evil 6 with a clever viral campaign that gave hints about a possible post-apocalyptic storyline. Well, both of those claims are indeed true as Capcom officially announced today that Resident Evil 6 will see a North American release on November 20th. The game will be released on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, with a PC release to follow at a later date.

In addition, Capcom has released a trailer for Resident Evil 6, which depicts both Leon Kennedy and Chris Redfield fighting for their survival (once again) against a world torn to shreds by bioterrorists. Little details about the story Resident Evil 6 were also given out by Capcom. The plot is as follows:

"It has been ten years since the Raccoon City incident and the President of the United States has decided to reveal the truth behind what took place in the belief that it will curb the current resurgence in bioterrorist activity. Due to be by the President's side is his personal friend and Raccoon City survivor, Leon S. Kennedy, but when the venue suffers a bioterrorist attack, Leon is forced to face a President transformed beyond recognition and make his hardest ever decision. At the same time, Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance member Chris Redfield arrives in China, itself under threat of a bioterrorist attack. With no country safe from these attacks and the ensuing outbreaks, the entire world's population is united by a common fear that there is no hope left."

Enjoy the launch trailer above, and hopefully Capcom finds it in there hearts to allow the player to run AND shoot at the same time. But, then again that may be asking too much.
