MS Points were just stupid from the start. Why can't we just register a credit card like with iTunes and be done with it. I hate pay for points that I won't instantly use.

It's worse when buying something that's an odd number of points, I currently have 100 sitting there which I cannot use for anything. Grr!

The points system is very stupid. They might claw a few more pounds out of people for each purchase... but that just makes people far far far less likely to buy something in the first place. I don't buy anything on my xbox. Any impulse I do have to get something has a massive barrier in front of it.. firstly I have no idea, at a glance, what the real world cost is. Secondly I have to spend more money than the items costs. Maybe Microsoft just doesn't like making money from their business.

The points system is pretty absurd. I far prefer Sony's infinitely more sensible PSN system, where you register your credit card and use that (£5 minimum)

I love Amazon's digital stores, such as downloadable games, digital software delivery, and its awesome DRM-free MP3 stores. Its Kindle and ebooks need no introduction. It's helpful they are streamlining Xbox live/games too.

On the note about Amazon, I recently came across an interesting table that details the discounts on Amazon.

It is at <a href="http://www.uberi.com">http://www.uberi.com</a>

Maybe someone will find it useful too.
