Rumor: Microsoft may be ditching points in favor of cash for Xbox Live

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.
