Yep. MS Points are as well.

Damn so I can't stock up on live passes or points... that sucks

also on an unrelated note Diet Nuka Cola is an awesome name, in the Fallout Universe actual diet Nuka Cola is the Clear Cola formula you can sell in Fallout 3 to Goalie Redux, and then kill him afterwords to get it back and his mask... I know way to damn much about that game
