A. Yes, I rather pay with points instead of cash.

B. No, cash is better for me.

C. I really don't care.

Sorry, I still can't figure out how to make a poll.

Nothing should be in points. It's a scam because you have to buy points in specific sized blocks, and once you have only a few hundred left, you either end up losing your money or have to buy more points. I'm already dreading the day I will buy EFLC from GFWL....

Everything should be switched from points to cash. It's a weak attempt at price obfuscation and it allows MS to make a couple extra bucks on the "spare points" that can never be spent from each account.

MS should do what Sony does with their PS Store and allow you to use exact dollar amounts to purchase things.

I'm not a fan of the points system, but I've always found that my 'spare points' always eventually add upto something quite exciting.. just like all other good things in life "good things come to those who wait !"

This. Of course they won't because they WANT you to have excess unwanted points in your account.
