They converted my 420 points into £3.74, no idea how much things are now as I haven't really looked.

I spotted on Twitter before that MS will be announcing the new Rewards program on the 1st September, so we won't have too long to wait to find out.

Thanks, it will be interesting to see how it works.

I know, it's disgusting MS keep taking my money I wish they were more like Sony and everything was free and not about making money from the customer

PSN was absolutely terrible for the longest time. So Sony had to give tons away for free to lure people on to their shambles of an online network.

But it was free so you cant really complain as you got something for nowt

The genius thing about this whole thing is that once your points are converted to money, the equivalent 2100msp wont buy a 2100msp game any more.

Except they will, as stated many times in the thread it was a conversion error and they are refunding people.

Of course you can.

'It's free so can be ****' doesn't really apply here.

Those small micro transactions for CoD will not be small any more.

maybe people will realise how much money they are wasting now though

I just went to buy joe danger 2 for my daughter and I can't believe it's £9.99. I really don't like the use of real money and the fact they've also but the prices up. I can't see me buying many arcade games anymore as I wasn't fussed about spending a few 100 points on a game i'll hardly play as you can get ms points dirt cheap.

I might get the odd season pass and that's about it.
