Hi all!

As the title says, I've a lot of microsoft points and no bioware points. Is it possible to buy pc dlc with ms points?

If not is there any way to buy bioware points with microsoft points? (don't think so but never hurt to ask)

Far as I can see the only way to buy BioWare points is with money. Why you can't just buy the DLC with money in the first place is a mystery.

So that you have a few points left over as an incentive to buy even more stuff. A horrible marketing ploy.

Oh, I understand that's the incentive, but if they just want to make extra margin on it they could take real money and charge a little more. Hell, I told them at the time I'd have been willing to pay a A$1 more per DLC, A$2 more for something big like Shadow Broker, if I could have bought it via my existing Steam account.

Exactly the very reason.

I'd liked if the dlc were cross-platform so either way you bought it, you'd have it on all machines. Belive they wouldn't loose any money because how many players really buy the game and dlc for multiple platforms?

The other reason I wondered was because when you click "Buy Now" from the store page,  it gives you a choice of paying with either bioware or microsoft points. But I'd guess if you choose ms points it'll be bought to x360.
