Microsoft: Errors made in real-world currency on Xbox 360 beta
However, the new Xbox 360 dashboard is still in its beta test period and, as with all betas, there are issues that will creep up. In this case, the company has confirmed that the conversions rates from Microsoft Points to real-world currency in some parts of the world are in error in the current beta test.
Joystiq got a statement from Microsoft, which said:
"We are aware that select regions experienced some incorrect game title pricing in the Xbox Live beta. This was an unintended error that we are in the process of fixing. We'll be reimbursing impacted beta participants for the difference in what was paid and what the price will be after the update is available to all members."
Microsoft's statement added that the company will continue to make "corrections and adjustments" to the Xbox 360 dashboard during the beta period before the update goes live to all owners of the console sometime later this year.

I had around 600 ms points and they gave me $8.48. I think 800 points equaled out to $10. So my conversion was right. The only thing wrong with the pricing I have seen so far is that changing your gamertag is twenty dollars now. Which I think they should keep because I'm tired of constantly getting messages from people changing their gamertags or even worse they don't tell me and I have no idea who they are. Pick a name and stick with it. I have had Lucky Otter for almost four years now.

Highly unlikely, this is what a beta's for. Identifying and solving problems.
i agree the beta is in it's first stages
