Microsoft points are ridiculous, why not just have a cash value for downloads?

It simplfies selling games in multiple markets.

then sony managed to do it with real cash.

The advantage of MS points is that a game costs 1200 points no matter where in the world it is sold. Of course, this means the consumer needs to know how much points cost in their country, but thats much easier (and far more accurate) than hearing a game costs US$6 and another game costs 4 Euros and having no idea of what the games are going to cost me in AU$.
