Microsoft announces new Xbox Live public beta

Microsoft Corp on Friday announced a new Xbox Live public beta. Unlike previous betas, the gamers in all 41 Xbox Live countries (except Japan) will see an Xbox Beta Program tile on the home hub of the Xbox 360 dashboard, said a post.

The post on pcworld.com stated that the new local currency switch for Xbox Live was one of our top picks in the new Xbox.

"The aging Microsoft Points system made sense in the early days of Xbox, since it allowed the company to use a single "currency" worldwide. But now with the widespread availability of digital stores that can handle local transactions like the Windows Store and the Windows Phone Store, it`s about time Microsoft Points disappeared," the post added.

It may be noted that Microsoft Points Cards will be redeemable through 2014 and any points earned through Xbox Live Rewards will also transition to local currency.

Earlier in the month of May, Microsoft Corp gave the world the first look at its new game console, hoping the newly named Xbox One will build on a solid core of gamer fans and become a hub for living room entertainment.

The third-generation console, coming eight years after the Xbox 360, was unveiled by games unit chief Don Mattrick at an event at the software company's campus near Seattle.

The new Xbox interacts with a user's television, responds to voice commands, and includes Skype video calling.
