Microsoft points are now giftable

Just launched the other day is a brand new online Windows Live feature that allows you to send and receive Microsoft points for use on Xbox or Zune accounts. But, there are a few stipulations. Currently, the gifting of Microsoft points digitally can only be done between US Windows Live accounts and you must know the Windows Live ID (not gamertag) of the person you are giving points to. Though, if you fulfill those requirements, giving the gift of Microsoft points is as easy as signing into your account, clickity clicking and BAM! Instant gift. We're not sure how much we'll use this (we enjoy giving tangible Microsoft point cards and we simply do not remember Windows Live IDs), but it's still a jolly good online feature no matter.

Microsoft have their own currency? *Sigh...*
Another step closer to taking over the world.

You're a few years late. =x

Give me a way to transfer extra points I have and we'll talk. This is one of the more useless features I've seen.

I was just wondering, since microsoft have thier own currency, do they make money out of exchange rate thingimyjigs?

They make money on the purchases of content, I would assume.
