New Microsoft Points bundle changes
In a subtle move recently, Microsoft decided to change the increment total of their Microsoft Points bundles. It has always been a hassle getting just the right amount of points to spend on things in the Marketplace. Previous bundles were available for 500, 1000, 2000 or 5000 Microsoft Points. But now, you can choose some pretty reasonable point bundles from the Marketplace or from Xbox.com.
There are plenty of Arcade titles for 400 Microsoft Points so this should work out for a lot of people who simply want to buy the amount they need. No leftovers ftw?
Microsoft Points bundles revamped
400 Microsoft Points bundle – $4.99
800 Microsoft Points bundle – $9.99
1600 Microsoft Points bundle – $19.99
4000 Microsoft Points bundle – $49.99
Are these new bundle prices and totals better for everyone? I remember I called for a bundle change quite some time ago and although it’s not what I suggested, it’s still better than before.
What say you?

What were they before? 800 points was always $10.

Ah, got it, they were at random increments.

We have 2100 and 4200 points. But nobody complains about them here lol

Now they just have to make the points themselves actually make sense
Nintendo has it right with their 1:100 ratio- Microsoft is just trying to confuse people with their weird exchange rate (1:80).
