Rant - Microsoft / Nintendo Points Gotz 2 Go. (UPDATE)

 (Microsoft has lower the cost of their pointz but still a fucken joke)

This is the first of probably many rants I will do so w/ that said, here goes..

This will mainly be focused on Microsoft but w/ Nintendo mention.

These so called Points as replacements for $ got to go. Say I want to buy a XBL Game or DLC for an Xbox Game that cost 15$ but 1200 MS points. However, you're only able to pay the given amount for the points which are....

• $6.25 for 500 Microsoft Points      (as of now $4.99 for 400 Microsoft Points)
• $12.50 for 1000 Microsoft Points  (now $9.99 for 800 Microsoft Points
• $25 for 2000 Microsoft Points       (now $19.99 for 1600 Microsoft Points)
• $62.50 for 5000 Microsoft Points  (now $49.99 for 4000 Microsoft Points)

That's It.. No $1, $5, $10, $15 options given which means I have to dish out $18.75 for something I wanted $15 (or 1200 MS points) for. If you think having spare MS Points and losing $3.75 is not a problem, you clearly missing the point. I and many ppl want to save money and just no need to pay extra cash when we don't need to. Many ppl don't know (or don't care to know) that 80 MS Points equals $1 and their actually exists games (and avatar gear if you count that crap) that are 1$ but spending more to get it. Their is one redeeming factor, They list the actual price on their Games On Demand so hopefully we'll see a change for the better.

Nintendo have this problem as well w/ it's Wii Points. I have 700 points but need 100 for the game I would like to purchase but theirs no $1 (or 100 Wii Points) options in the Wii Shopping Channel but instead this...

• $10.00 for 1000 Wii Points
• $20.00 for 2000 Wii Points
• $30.00 for 3000 Wii Points
• $50.00 for 5000 Wii Points

I Don't want to play $10 just to buy one game. So the point is, just ditch these points crap and Just put the damn price of the DL game/item and just do Real World Price like Playstation Network does... Yea... They didn't BS w/ ppl like the others did and that's cool points for them.
