Microsoft is looking into changing the way the MS point system displays its prices but actually including the equivalent currency amount right next to the MS points price.

"We never intended to mislead people," Greenberg said, via G4. "We want to be transparent about it, and so it is something that we're looking at."

Lets think about this for a second....when was the last time Microsoft cared about what people thought and if it was misleading people?

What is in it for them to change the point system?

My guess is they are thinking about combining the Zune Marketplace with XBOX live and they have to make both places identical (Zune Marketplace = actual dollar amount *VS* XBOX 360 Marketplace = MS Points)...
