Hello.  My name is Deacon and I am an impulse Marketplace buyer.  Yes, I admit to being one of those people who purchases things from the Xbox Live Marketplace on impulse.  If I see a nice picture pack, I dish out the points to grab them or I grab a quick bundle if more points are needed.  More often than not it’s usually the latter as I’m always usually left with an odd # of points that don’t seem to be enough.  Are you an I.M.B.?  If so, then you’ll probably agree that something must be done with the current increments of points you’re allowed to purchase. 

Current Bundles:
500
1000
2000
5000

Proposed Additions for I.M.B.’s:
20
50
100
200

There are times when I only need or want just enough points to finish a picture pack purchase but instead I have to dish out a quick $6.25 for a 500 Microsoft Points bundle.  Will I use the extra points?  Eventually, sure.  But at that moment I just didn’t need that many or want that many.  (sure as heck would’ve rather spent for what I needed)

Being an I.M.B., I know I set myself up for the same situation over and over but perhaps having more bundle choices could save me from this behavior.  Ok, maybe not save me from the behavior but maybe it would save me some money in the long run.  Why not have an option for 100 Microsoft Points?  50 Microsoft Points?  A sale is still being made isn’t it? 

I’ve heard a lot of comments about this issue.  I’m sure the day will never come that allows users to simply input whatever amount they want, so why not throw a bone and add these choices?
