This is the price that points cost, period. They are not more expensive. So it is 50 cents a play. I guess they just assume most people know how to calculate the cost of points accurately.

I guess they just assume most people know how to calculate the cost of points accurately. Yes, but in order to use 40 points, you have to first purchase the minimum amount of points. I don't know how the US system works, but here in the UK I would have to spend £4.50 to first be able to play a game that is only 40 cents. It's an unfair system, and the only way it is designed like that, is to get more money out of people. As simple as that.
In my opinion, the 360 ought to adapt the system that the PS3 uses. Simply pay for what you want to use, and no extra. Easy. And I don't own a PS3.

just to let you know if you want to purchase something on the ps3 that is lets say is $1.50 you have to buy a minimum of $5.00
the remaining $3.50 goes into your PlayStation wallet plus you have to pay tax on it based on country and state so a $10 purchase would cost me $10.95 but you can buy exact amounts above $5.00 say its $27.36 you can buy exactly that
so they are both flawed and have similar issues but i do like the PS3's purchase system better
but one Xbox needs to implement is exact point purchases (ex purchase 480pts) cause i have 20 points on my account and what do i use 20 points for I Mean WTF
