This is fantastic! Now the system won't be perceived as a money-grubbing attempt by always forcing the person to have leftover points and forcing them to purchase more points than they actually needed.

Glad to see Microsoft taking queues from Nintendo!

Well, it's about time

Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

Will be no difference though, now you will need to buy more 'money cards' to get what you need =p;
