Today, when you log into a modern console and go to buy some DLC or a tiny indie game, you just use real money via your credit card or debit card. Simple enough. But for a long time during the Xbox 360’s run, the console used Microsoft Points, a virtual currency created by Xbox. This was already annoying enough, but what made matters worse was that the conversion for dollars to Microsoft Points was needlessly complicated. 80 points cost $1 USD. So doing the math for purchases was a pain. Luckily, this all went away in 2013.
