All of us Xbox 360 owners have, at one time or another, found ourselves stuck with spare Microsoft Points after purchasing a game, dashboard theme, or avatar item. Annoying, right? Right!
Furthermore, we know who to blame: Microsoft. The company’s insistence on selling Microsoft Points in bundles that do not match up with prices of the online content is both crafty and frustrating.
Whereas games on Xbox Live Arcade always cost 400, 800, or 1,200 Microsoft Points, Microsoft sells its ‘currency’ in bundles of 500, or 2,100, or similarly obscure numbers. The logic is simple: people will find themselves with spare Points hanging around, and feel compelled to buy another game. It’s a little sneaky, though no doubt good for business.
