Odd number of MS points

I've got an odd number of points and I want to even it out because it's driving my OCD crazy. Tried looking through the marketplace but it's a pain without being able to list and sort by price.

I'm trying to get my 295 points down to something divisible by 40 ($0.50) by spending the least amount possible. I figured that avatar stuff would be my best bet, but I didn't really see anything that was less than 80, which doesn't really help.

Any suggestions? Yes, I know it's crazy. Also, I have no idea what i bought to end up with that amount, that's driving me bonkers too.

Thanks!
 
OCD must be tough. You'll have to buy something with an odd numbered price to get back to an even numbered balance. Since we can't figure out what is priced at an odd number, this will be tough too!
 
The only place I have seen items with odd numbered points are music videos, etc, on the Zune Marketplace. You could try looking around in there.
 
I feel your pain. I have 40 points and it drives me f****g crazy, because there is NOTHING good that I want that costs that much. The only reason I keep it is because I figure: those 50 cents might come in handy one day.


BUT I have been researching what I can buy and here are the results:

there are Mass Effect Xbox themes that cost 50 points.

A Dead Rising gamer picture costs 20 points.

and go to the Avatar marketplace and go to eyewear or whatever the section is called.

85% of the avatar glasses are 40 points.
 
Glad to see other people have this going on too. I've never bought anything other than content for games (no vids or avatar stuff) so I dunno who priced their stuff oddly, but it sucks. :)

I'll try the zune marketplace I guess, but I don't know if I'd bite the bullet on something like that. Thanks for the helpful tips instead of the hate I was assuming I'd end up getting.

If anyone finds something at that magical price point, let me know!

These are good starts if I could kill off the 5 somehow. I never really minded the MS point thing until now (since deals let me pay 15 bucks for 20) occasionally. Now it's kind of a pain.
 
Odd numbers like this always drive me crazy too, but I've never had my balance end in a 1 or 5. I've just had like 80, or 120, or some low totals I didn't know what to do with. I've been tempted to find stuff to use it up on, but the way I see it, I just keep it and add it to the next point card I buy, because it would seriously suck if my next total would put me the 120 or so points short of buying something I really wanted because I had the desire to waste my last 120 on some shitty theme or picture.
 
Eyepatch from Return to Monkey Island is 50 pts.

Castle Crashers Premium Theme is 250 pts.

I've never seen anything offered for x5 or xx5.

Many people don't like their gamerscore being strange either (mine was hit funny from Luxor 2), but this is worse due to the fact that MS doesn't let you buy specific amounts needed.
