Mother is too afraid to user her credit card over the Internet. CNN, FOX News or whomever has led her to believe that this fascinating online web of awesome is a dark and evil place where thugs and scoundrels gather.

There’s not much to it. According to Major Nelson, potential users will need to travel to the official Xbox Web site and then link their account. Boom. That’s it.
This method of payment can only be used on the official Xbox page — not on the dashboard. It’s also only available to the US. Sorry, Canadians.
