For those leery of using their credit card online, Microsoft has introduced a new method of payment for Xbox Live. PayPal can now be used to purchase Microsoft Points, the form of currency used in the Xbox marketplace.
Users simply add a PayPal account to their payment options in the same way they would add a credit card. And while this is great news for PayPal users, it does come with a few drawbacks. Firstly, the service is only available to those in the US. Secondly, PayPal can only be used to purchase points on Xbox.com, not via an Xbox 360. You can, however, set up multiple PayPal accounts with one Xbox Live account.
It's always great to have options, so the addition of PayPal as a form of payment is good news. And combined with the recent advent of XBLA games being made available on Amazon, it gives gamers plenty of choice for how they want to purchase their games. Now let's just hope Microsoft eventually rolls out these services in other regions as well.

If your one of the thousands of people that were angry that Valve would not support Left 4 Dead anymore after Left 4 Dead 2 was announced, then you will be happy to hear this news. Too bad if you have the xbox version of it your going to have to pay 560 microsoft points for it, while the PC gamers will get it for free.
Valve, creators of best-selling game franchises (such as Half-Life, Portal, Team Fortress, and Counter-Strike) and leading technologies (such as Steam and Source), today announced the next major downloadable content (DLC) update for its co-operative zombie thriller, Left 4 Dead (L4D), the #1 new game title on Xbox 360 and PC in 2008. Entitled "Crash Course," the latest DLC delivers new single-player, multiplayer and co-operative gameplay to both platforms. Targeted for release in September, "Crash Course" bridges the gap between the end of the "No Mercy" campaign and the beginning of "Death Toll" in the original game, expanding the game universe with new locations, new dialogue from the original cast, and an explosive finale.
While containing both Survival maps and a Co-operative Campaign, the primary goal of "Crash" is to deliver a complete Versus mode experience in just 30 minutes, resulting in a streamlined version of the game's existing Versus campaigns. A recharge timer for infected teammates has also been added, and item spawn behavior has changed for more balanced gameplay. "Since the release of Left 4 Dead last November, the design team has been excited about creating new experiences for this world and allowing players to do the same, by releasing much of our internal toolset, like the Survival Pack and Authoring Tools," said Gabe Newell. "We're working with the fans toward the ongoing entertainment value of the product."
Left 4 Dead is an action horror game from Valve that blends the social entertainment experience of multiplayer games such as Counter-Strike and Team Fortress with the dramatic, narrative experience made popular in single player action game classics such as the Half-Life series of games. Released in November of 2008, L4D has earned over 50 industry awards from outlets around the world and sold almost 3 million copies worldwide.
Left 4 Dead: Crash Course is targeted for release in September and will be available free of charge on the PC and for 560 Microsoft Points on Xbox Live. For more information, please visit www.l4d.com
