But.... To get the 1600 points you need to pay 19.99......
Yeah, but that's no equivalent to free, correct?
I don't have an Xbox and I don't know how the points work, how you get them etc, so I don't know. Maybe to him it counts as free?
You buy them. Or, if it's like the Wii, you can just use your credit card and never leave your house.
I see that's kind of pointless then? Why have points then when you need to buy them, if you could gain them for like extraordinary online play or so, that would make a lot more sense, you know, instead of always charging Money Microsoft could reward its players too...
All three companies are charging for them. And really.... You're paying for software licensing... If they rewarded you for good gameplay with these points, they'd be paying you for playing good. That's called being sponsored.
