PS3:
Shop online for PS3 arcade type games (only two right now) and PSone games for your PSP (not online as of yet). Use a credit card to make purchases online.

Thumbs Up: No "points" to cause confusion here. Straight up currency value (dollars in US).

Thumbs Down: Not much to shop for as of yet. No cards available at retailers.

Wii: Wii Points
Shop online using “Wii Points.” Cards may be purchased at retailers, or enter your credit card information on your Wii to add Wii Points to your account. Conversion is simple: 1000 Wii Points are $10.00.

Thumbs Up: Wii Points cards available for purchase at retailers.

Thumbs Down: “Wii Points” instead of currency, however, a bit easier to understand than Microsoft Points (see below).

Xbox 360: Microsoft Points (MS Points)
The Xbox 360 uses the “Microsoft Points” system. 400 MS points = $5 USD. Quick! 1200 MS points equal?

Thumbs Up: MS Points cards can be purchased at retailers.

Thumbs Down: Microtransactions. Microsoft’s confusing point system doesn’t make it easy for gamers to easily understand currency value.
