Adding money to my sons account
This maybe a stupid question, but now that they have stopped points, how do I add say £20.00 to my sons account? I've had a look around the xbox site but couldn't see anything, Went to the Game website, but can't see an option there.
Failing that can I purchase a game for my son using his account on the console, but use my card for one time only?
TIA

If you get an online MS points code from Amazon ( see here ) for £30, when you enter the code on your 360 it will convert the points back into cash now, giving you about £36.
That's a decent deal.:D
Thing is though won't the prices of things in the store just go up to match? e.g. what will a 400, 800 and 1200 point game be once they start using cash instead of points? If it is like £3.99, £7.99 and £11.99 then that is significantly higher than current rate as 100 points isn't the same as £1.00.
Much as I like the 360, Microsoft aren't known for giving much away...
And Steven123, it doesn't matter what the price is set at by MS because you will now pay that price no matter what. so you can either add money pound for pound (£1=£1), or get in quick while the MS points are still available where currently the 4200 points mean that your £1 gets you about £1.20.
I know some things, like games, or movies, you might be able to get cheaper by buying outside of xbox or windows, but there are plenty of other things only available through there, like the xbox arcade games etc. We've always seemed to need MS points for something or other.
