Microsoft is getting set to update Xbox Live in a number of ways to make it easier to find and buy content. The big news is that games will be priced in your local currency, and you'll be able to buy with a credit card, bypassing the point system altogether.

And they are getting ready to start digital distribution:

Good Call MS. Now I wont hate you quite so much.

UHG! Finally they do this, it was so obviouse they were extorting people for money with the points system, they would force you to buy more points than you need to get this one thing, but that same amount won't buy you two things, and they would make money easily off of that.

I wonder if they're stopping this crap if they'll somehow get the fallout3 dlc packs on steam now since they won't require those stupid points anymore.. hrmm
