Why can't you transfer MS points?!?!

[thrustbucket]

This just bothers the hell out of me. If I want to buy Doom for me and a friend, why can't I buy one point card and either transfer the points to him or buy him the game?!

Sorry for the rant, but it's been bothering me for a while.

Where is the MS suggestion box so I can yell at them.

err...Give your friend $10 and have him buy it himself?

Pain to do when they live in another country.

If you have both gamer tags on one 360 it should work just fine

How? My main concern is that I can't split up point cards. And I don't feel comfortable adding my cc information to his account to buy him points. (I'm a CAG for hells sake, I only buy points with the BB GGC :lol: :)

Buy a card and send him the code in email then. You don't need to send the card.

Hm. Ok I guess that would probably work, I just didn't want to have to buy 2 cards.

Oh well, I know i'm just being a whiny baby here, but it is just one of those pet peeve things.

Regardless, I think it would be bad ass to actually purchase someone a game. Use the website to do it. I would really like to see you be able to purchase codes to redeem for games. That way you could easily do your own contests for your own blogs and sites etc.

That would be pretty sweet. You log on to live and you get a message saying X gamer bought a game for you, click here to download it.
