Microsoft Points is a scam

Can anyone care to explain why a 1200 Microsoft Points which costs 15$ translates to only 10$?

Do you live under a rock?

They don't even exist anymore.

It doesn't matter. The thing is it's a fraud.

I just bought one from a store nearby.

I can't buy the 1200 anymore, but I paid €15, and I got 1200 points.

I never got less, and I've bought a shitload of those cards. Sorry to hear about your situation. That's just messed up.

Well that's your own problem for buying them because they've been phased out. Some stores will have stock left but the Xbox stores just use money now and sell dollar/pound/whatever your local currency is cards in shops.

Points were scrapped a while ago, sir.

LOL.

Just LOL.

HAHA!

Sums up this thread

I noticed you'd have to pay $20 for 1400 points, which wasn't even $20 worth of points.

I know that, but the whole point of this business model is to exchange money, am I right?

For example if you bought a 20$ Playstation Network Card you will receive 20$ on your PSN.

you're... a whole generation too late TC...

I think we should have a class action law suit and get money back for this past thievery!

They Stil exist here ! And thats just the tip of the Rice Berg !

@35cent: they were, but the cards that were out in the wild are still valid until they are sold through. I've still seen them.

The ****?

1200 pts is $15. Or, at least thats what they were here.

Everyone's thought when they saw the date this thread was created.

@Dilrod: Didnt know that. I haven't seen any points cards in shops in a while, or maybe I'm not looking for them.

Ah haha ahahaa ha...

I was gonna say...

400 points = $5
800 = $10
1200 = $15
1600 = $20

I'm pretty sure that's how the points system was. I've also saw a few things at 80 points before which = $1
