Ive the misfortune of beta testing the new system coming out in August. I say the misfortune, as Ive been stitched up, and had I been made aware I wouldnt have signed up for the beta testing in the first place.
Anyway, the update converts your Microsoft points to real cash, and leaves it in your account. And heres the punchline; I was going to save 800 of my 930 Microsoft points to get Flashback when its released in August. The new update has converted my 930 points to £7.43 (never mind that the dashboard charges you more for Microsoft points), and even worse all 800 point games are now £8.99. So that game I couldve afforded before the update I can no longer afford.
So, all fellow 360 owners, make sure you spend all your points asap, otherwise you are not going to like the enforced conversion rate put on you by Microsoft
Suffice to say, us beta testers arent happy.
Thats it for me. Im not spending any more money on the 360 at all now. Microsoft have got their last penny from me now.
