I think the whole point system was put into place so it was harder to figure out how much you are spending on stuff. Especially when it comes to little games your kids might want to buy on the Xbox, it's only 400 points. But most of these games don't allow you to buy just the game straight up on the xbox interface (at least not when I looked around when trying to buy Battlefield 1943). So you go online to look up how much points are, you find that if you buy the bigger point bundle you get a better deal on the points.......that's assuming you ever use the rest of them and they fall in a usable amount without having to buy more. So buy yourself a 4000 point card, you can buy 3 1200 point games and hope you find something that's only 400..etc.

Or if you buy the 4000 point card for it...you aren't really thinking about how much actual money it is when the game only needs 1200 points 6 months later.

It's like gift cards, they hope once you buy them that you'll never use them... but they know if you do...you gotta come back to them to do so.
