A 500 point card would be $6, btw. If anything they would sell a 400 point card.

1600 cards would be really useful, as xbla games cost multiples of 400 points, so no wastage. The only cards I can buy are 2100 points, which always leaves some wasted points left over, unless you buy 4 of the cards.

MS likes to rip us off, by making the cards slighty more than anything is priced.

*Looks over at his 1600 point card he bought for Samurai Warriors 2: Xtreme Legends*

No, I'm pretty sure they sell cards in 1600 point values. Or the card I bought from work just must be a manifestation of wishful thinking. Perhaps it varies by country?

1600 MS points makes sense, it's like two 800 point XBLA games, or 2/3 of a full priced expansion.

I think it must be different for different countries. In the UK I've only seen 2100 and 4200 cards. Fortunately I've found shops to buy them cheaper than direct from Live, which is weird considering they don't have to package it, distribute it to shops, and ship it to customers.

Out of interest how much are the different cards in the US?

A 2100 card typically sells for about £17.50 ($35), while 2000 direct from Live costs £17.99 ($36)

In the US 1600 is $20 and 4000 is $50.
