If you’re in the gift-giving mood and you know someone who is an Xbox 360 fanatic, then Microsoft has something right up your alley. Major Nelson notes that folks can now gift Microsoft points.
As of now, this is only available to U.S. accounts only. You’ll need a Windows Live ID in order to send the gift points, but Microsoft is working on the ability to gift points based on your Gamertag, so sit tight.
So here’s the blurb, "You do need to know the persons Windows LIVE ID for the gifting. I have asked the team to add the ability to gift points based on Gamertag, and they said they’ll work on that for the future, but for now…you’ll need to know the recipients Windows LIVE ID."
If you don’t know what to give to that stingy Xbox 360 friend, then here you go!
