i dont have any problems with the points themselves...and point cards come in more usable amounts than from off live. i do however have a problem with the cost of the my points compared to the cost of the US points. ive never felt them to be misleading in any way though.

i dont think they are misleading but i think alot of people find it annoying when they have to buy more points than they need, this is the main problem

there is lots of content available on live and you can buy points cards for $20 so i really dont see how its any size of a problem.  there are likely other things would currently be of interest or things to come that will be of interest, so if you leave some points sitting around is it really that much of a bother?  not like its hundreds of dollars sitting there, its less that 20.
