Comparison of Xbox Live Marketplace point costs

Xbox Live Marketplace point cards are not being sold in the same denomination around the world.

But it's not just the amount of points being sold, there is also a price gap.



Best Buy (US):
1600 points for USD$24.99
= 64 points per US dollar
= 0.015625 US dollars per point

Future Shop (Canada):
1250 points for CAD$19.99
= 62.5 points per Canadian dollar (~86.4 US cents)
= 0.013824 US dollars per point

Amazon (UK):
2100 points for GBP£17.49
= 120.06 points per UK pound (~1.76 US dollars)
= 0.014659 US dollars per point

Amazon (Japan):
3500 points for JPY¥5,250
= 0.666666 points per Japanese yen (~0.00829 US dollars)
= 0.012435 US dollars per point

So the cheapest Xbox Live Marketplace points go to Japan, followed by Canada, the UK, and finally the US.
