You're not alone, it seems that a lot of people dislike the points stuff. It allows for the sale of content that otherwise wouldn't be reasonable to sell (50 cent theme packs for instance) because of credit card processing fees. Myself, I don't mind it at all - or at least, I didn't until I got the Xbox movie content here - I find it frustrating not knowing how much I'm really paying for an HD movie rental unless I do the calculations to figure it out. I wish there was some sort of "conversion" rate listed so I'd understand the real dollar amount.
But the idea of buying $50 worth of points and using them up until they're gone is just fine with me - it's nice and easy.
