Points are ridicilous. I hate them. One reason why I prefer to download off of PSN instead of Xbo Live.

man you are all crazy i don't get it...you really are happy to pay much more in the future just because you don't have to calculate "i bought 4200points for 39 dollars and this game costs 800 so..."  which is a calculation you need 5 seconds for?

you have to pay 295kr in sweden for 4200 points on ebay which is 33 euro (like in germany) and without points you have to pay what? i think it's maybe the same like here we have to pay 50€ officially so like 450kr in sweden?

in the future you have to pay 450kr to get 450kr on your account and can't buy points for 295kr to get points worth 450kr yeah this is sooo great.

Well I didn't know you could get a rebate on points by buying it from another country but in principle I still hate points. It's cumbersome to calculate how much one point is in my currency.
