Microsoft Face Lawsuit Over Virtual Currency


If you've ever bought anything off Xbox Live then you have had to first purchase Microsoft Points, a virtual currency that the XBL Marketplace is built on. You have also found it annoying how you always have points left over, but never enough to actually buy anything.
Samuel Lassoff an attorney from Philadelphia also found this annoying, so annoying in fact he decided to file a lawsuit against Microsoft. His arguement is that this currency system exists to "unjustly enrich" Microsoft. Microft have already been put under pressure to do away with this system, as it is extremely unpopular. And, after the success of the 'On Demand' service, which uses real currency, they are looking to expand this into other areas.
