    hi can anyone tell me about these ms points...

    i bought fifa today and wanted to get the live season and updates etc.
    i need 400 points..what does that equate to in money?

    after paying 50quid for a game microsoft should go fu*k themselves looking for more money!!
    correct me if i am wrong ps3 and sony doesn't have this bull****!!

    a game costs 50€ no one should not have to budget for an extra tenner to get the tweeks that make it worth buying fifa 10 and not sticking with 09.scam!!!:(

    😎

    It's EA you should be venting your anger at, not Microsoft. And yes, the PS3 has the exact same thing.

    They're not at fault. It's a marketing gimmick that creates more money for them.

    It's the same as when you're buying a car. You can buy the standard version, or spend a little extra and get electric, CD player.....

    Well they way i look at it is 100 Microsoft points should work out to be a euro or there abouts, it depends on how much you bought the points for.... If you buy 4200 for 45 euro it works out to be 93 points per euro. So your basically paying around 4 euro for your season update.

    Secondly I don't know about your free season update on fifa 10. I know on ps3 there was a free live season update for fifa 2009.

    To be honest it is fairly ridiculous that you are being asked to pay extra for this when you have already paid 50 for the game and 60 for a years live membership..

    PSN yes its free connection but you still have to pay for all the stuff that you do on xbox its just a way for the game companies to screw you
