(http://www.engadget.com/tag/Microsoft/) just announced that they're doing way with their specialized points on Xbox Live, and will instead rely on your local currency. That's not the only change coming to Redmond's online service, however. Just as promised (http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/22/xbox-live-multiple-accounts/) right after the Xbox One reveal (http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/21/microsoft-unveils-its-next-game-console-the-tktk/), a single Gold account can be shared among family members on a console. The more the merrier, eh?
