I would assume they were never really going to do a 1:1 conversion on score to spendable points since it would end up being too costly for them or encourage hacking/boosting of the gamerscore. There were a bunch of ideas floating around of what Microsoft might do to help promote and get people interested in the avatar store when it was released.
*facepalm*

I like the part where the one portion that doesn't deal with the avatar store was the one part you bothered to verify with a link. And it wasn't really related to the rest in any meaningful sense.

Also, Avatars in GH 5 looked retarded, Mac, and that's part of the problem. Mii games work because they're on a system with dated graphics designed for children and the mentally handicapped. Most titles on the 360 look dumb with Avatars thrown in.

Though I agree with BDC that making a bunch of avatar specific knockoffs would be commercial gold. Not inspired or clever, but gold.
