Battlefield Premium + Microsoft points = Fail Microsoft

So I've recently decided to get Premium for Battlefield 3. In my opinion it's a decent deal and I'll know I'll get my money's worth as I've played close quaters at a friends place a few days ago, fun stuff.
What I don't like about it is that they claim it to have been $50. This is a screw up, as it's 4000 microsoft points ($50), but there is nowhere I can buy 4000 microsoft points straight out in Australia for $50, the least I can find it for is 66 dollars direct from xbox live, all other retailers sell 3000 points from 50-55 bucks each. Bit unhappy, this point system is not ideal.
I feel it was made just to accomodate all the 13 year olds who didn't have credit cards to pay for stuff that's too old for them anyway :P

milking the consumer at its finest

ur not the only one buddy......Skyrim Dawnguard=1600 points. notice in aus we can only buy 1500 and 3000 points packs? so if ur new, then u have to have 1400 spare points chillin there till the next exp pack comes out.

Can you buy it at a store? I brought my premium service from Best Buy. They give you a code. All you have to do then is redeem your code on xboxlive.
