The pokerstar chips are worth far more than the full tilt chips. I think this is because you can exchange them easily. I've never heard of $10 per 500K chips. If you have that web site it would really be useful. Absolute also has tried some million chip buy in tourneys with some success. Also, I have found that in some of the 100K play chip games, the players are just as serious about their play chips as in the $1-3 cash buy in games.
No doubt, if you are playing $5 to $1000 buy-ins the caliber of player is much higher. Note: most open freerolls are equivelent to a 1c to 20c buy in and that is where you find the losest craziest players.

Hmmmmmmmmmm, earning 500,000 play chips doesn't sound very easy. I think that if you earn that many you should stay at playing the play money ring games because otherwise your throwing loads of hard work away. Looking at that screen capture, 1800 players max with top 18 payout? Doesn't sound to appealing.
Id say these games are a very easy way of losing an awful lot of hard earned play money. Also the fact that if you win the $5 that would dissapear in most likely 1 tournament meaning the whole scenario of earning all the money was completely pointless!

I think a much better way to build your roll using play chips is to sell them on one of the many sites that buy them for cash. The going rate is usually around $10 or $11 per million chips. And I've never heard of anyone having a problem using these sites. Yeah, I know some people will say, "oh you didn't really earn that $$ playing poker, to which I ask how else one gets play chips.
Anyhow, back on topic, I think it's great that Full Tilt gives serious play money players an opportunity to earn some real cash to build a roll.

I don't play to earn money, I've sometimes spent 4 hours in a tournament where in the end I just won around a dollar, but it was definitely worth it !

It took me about a week and a half to build up 100K pl chips at UB, so it would probably take at least a couple more weeks to build up 500K, if I can get lucky, maybe a little less, especially with all the Donk's I'd run into. And usually a $50 freeroll pays $9 for first, so if you dont have a job, have all day to play for play money, to risk it on one tourney...go for it. I'd rather just, restrain from going out one weekend and take the money I would have drank away, and deposit it...but that's just me.
