Microsoft Points will convert to local currency at 'equal or greater'
"When the transition takes place, the balance of Microsoft Points in an account will be retired and the customer will be given an amount in local currency that is equal or greater in Marketplace value," a Microsoft spokesperson informed Joystiq. "That value will be stored in your account and can be used similar to Microsoft Points to make purchases in the Xbox Live Marketplace."
What that means in North America is that it will be 80 points (or less) to the dollar when the point exchange occurs. There is currently no official date for the conversion.

wokoHES I think its better to use money then msp, but the people that dont have bank details on xbox, might find it hard to purchase DLC?
they will most likely have a different option for adding money, eg cards in shops.
I'm hoping so, I was never too big with putting my card on my XBL account. MSP was just way easier for me.

The one good thing about the points were that to every country had the same virtual currency, so now we will have all different amounts of money.

Yes, similar to how Steam have wallet cards you can buy and redeem, it doesn't add points but money on to the account!
