Nope, I don't like it either.
It doesn't benefit the consumer in any way. It obfuscates the price of games/music and the multiples in which points can be bought is out of sync with the points value of the items.
For example, a lot of retro games on Xbox Live are 400 points. However, the minimum number of points you can buy is 500. So, if you want to buy a game then you'll be left with 100 points, which you can either spend on pointless image packs or save towards your next purchase. But you're going to have to buy a further 3 retro games before you can use your left-over 100 points on something worth-while.
I much prefer the iTunes system - see the price in real currency and buy one song, pay for one song.
