It makes me angry that I have to purchase more Microsoft Points than I need because you can't buy just the amount you need for your purchase. So I have extremely reluctantly given Microsoft their interest-free loans for the absolute minimum possible.

Otherwise, all my money goes to Apple TV which, after factoring in the Microsoft Points to Cdn $ conversion makes movies available for about 2/3rds the cost of the hidden Microsoft cost.

On a related point, I have also purchased a couple small download games on the PS3. There are several Microsoft arcade games I would have purchased over the years had they been available for money.

I've never actually bought anything because I don't want to have to deal with the hassle. I think the points thing is kind of annoying too.
