SO, I have a nice $170 credit sitting in my Microsoft account, so I was looking forward to getting the digtal version of COD:Ghosts today.
I go in and try to order it and it only gives me options of selecting a credit card, I HAVE $170, why must I use a credit card ?
So I chat with MS billing support and I get this news....

For the time being, Activision have not allowed yet the purchase of downloadable content using local currency. Credit card is the only payment option that is allowed. Rest assured that you'll be able to use your local currency. However, to set your expectations, Activision haven't given a timeframe as to when you'll be able to use local currency.
and after putting a little pressure on...

I understand your frustration. However, this is Activision's policy as of the moment for that particular game and we are just following it. Should you wish to address your grievance, you need to address it through Activision.
So if you want to buy the DIGITAL version of CALL OF DUTY: Ghosts, go for it but, dont try to use MS points or your Microsoft account credit...
WTF ?
