InsideMobileApps is reporting that by the end of the year that Microsoft will be killing off its virtual currency. Instead of using Microsoft Points, you will use real money. This means that the Zune Marketplace, Windows Phone, Xbox Live will all be affected.
"By the end of 2012, all transactions will be based on the region set on the purchasing account and real money will be used to purchase all Windows Phone content. The move puts the Windows Phone Marketplace in line with the purchasing practices used in the App Store and the Android Market.
When asked Microsoft declined to provide further information, with a Microsoft spokesperson responding with “we do not comment on rumours or speculation.”
