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.

This is what a beta is for. Those affected should count themselves lucky that they will get the money back, if it was up to me I'd say tough titties.

Gossip New dash is going to ruin xbox.
For the past few comments on different news articles all I have seen is you complain about almost everything.
And every news comment you make is just short and so low on quality, its like you're trying to get MVC as fast as you can.
And the new update won't "Ruin" Xbox, it makes it better. Microsoft made some errors in the BETA version of it that can be fixed. Jeeeeeez
