How to Buy MS Points in Zune

Suppose you have 400 MS Points and you want to buy an Xbox Live Arcade game or a game DLC that costs 800 MS points. Unfortunately for you, and the rest of us, Microsoft makes it a pain to manage your real life money and their fun money. Through the Game Marketplace on Xbox, you can purchase 500, 1000, 2000, and 5000 points. Oddly, no game I know of actually costs these amounts. Generally you will see a game on sale for 400 or 800 (Multiply these amounts by 1.25 and you realize that you're paying $5 and $10 respectively for your purchase).

But through Zune, you can purchase amounts of MS Points that XBLA and Game DLC's actually cost. Go to Settings > Account > Buy Microsoft Points.

Here, you can buy 400, 1200, 2000, and 4000 MS Points. And of course, these points are the same points you use when buying games, DLC's, and avatar clothing on your Xbox.
