I think Nintendo's system works best. You buy 2000 points for 20$ every hundred points is essentially a dollar. Its not like Microsoft's crazily confusing 1400 point cards for 24.99$ or Sony's basic system of actually using dollars and cents. Besides when you buy stuff on Nintendo's system you don't have to pay taxes or any additional fees you just spend the points and whoola you got your games.

I think Sony's system is best because you can top up the amount you need. Want to buy a $15.99 game? Top up $15.99, not 1400 Microsoft points of which you'll spend 1200 or anything like that.

The problem only arises when you use a prepaid card. Which will obviously be the same for every system.

Microsoft and Sony do the same thing with the pre-paid cards. You can buy them in $20(1600 MP) and $50(4000 MP). I don't see what you are saying

That's exactly the point.

With prepaid cards, all Store systems are exactly the same.

If you top up by credit/debit card (correct me if I'm wrong here), the PS Store allows you to credit your account by the exact amount you need at checkout, while the Wii and XBL stores require you to purchase a certain number of points.
