One important metric to note before you start clicking on thumbnails and preparing your shopping list: 80 Microsoft points equals $US1 US. 160 is two bucks; 320 is four. The update goes live on August 11.

Clearly, Microsoft believe there’s a lot of money to be mined from the left-hand side of the IQ bell curve.
P. T. Barnum was right.

But MS Points aren’t that cheap. For the amount your receive, isn’t at times worth the money. Before i clicked on this to see the prices, i was thinking, hmm making 20Points for a hat, or 50 for a shirt. 100 for a whole outfit.
This is ridiculous. I don’t know anyone that will actually spend 500 Points buying clothes that aren’t that great. It would be cool to buy a Master Chief armour suit or wearing night vision goggles in a Army Outfit. But these are just normal shirts with game logo and prints on them.
Waste of money or virtual points as far as i’m concerned. Especially for the price MS are dishing out.

Still can’t personally see myself buying all that many… but my GF on the other hand will be a worry. Will have to keep the credit card well hidden :P
