Micorosft informs us of Xbox 360 preview program members to release a new update that introduces a specific feature: the ability to give to friends of digital gift card for purchases on the Marketplace.

It works in a very simple way: "Social" tab of the Guides just choose a friend and then use the option "send gift". The console offers digital gift card purchase various storage capacities from $ 10 to $ 100, and confirming your purchase via credit card the amount will be sent to the user picked. This will receive a message on Live with an indication of who gave him the gift and a code to redeem the sum.

This feature is not currently available in Italy: the testing started in USA, Canada, UK, Germany and France, but it gives us a window on the future intentions of Microsoft. Many players have requested the opportunity to give away digital games to other players, and this is a first step in that direction. Singular surely the fact that you have chosen for testing Xbox 360 Xbox One instead, but we imagine that this will come later on the new console. We will keep you updated on developments.
