Microsoft Point Gifting Revealed

Dec 24, 2007 10:18am CST tags: Xbox Live Marketplace, Games: Console, Microsoft
Just in time for Christmas, Microsoft has unveiled the option for Xbox Live users to gift Microsoft Points, the currency used to purchase downloadable games and in-game content from the Xbox Live Marketplace as well as music from the Zune Marketplace.

Currently in a beta state, the program, which also allows users to buy points for themselves, is accessible from this website.

At present, the initiative is limited to people in the United States and gift-givers must know the Windows Live ID of the intended recipient, though Xbox Live director of programming Larry Hryb noted that the team is looking to add the option to gift by Gamertag in the future.
