Well then I don't know if that's something new but you're personally getting man-handled by them. That was never the case for me and I had to switch 2 CCs (debit being one of them) with my account. Never did that happen to me in my 9 years of Live and this a first I'm hearing at all that you can't just add PRE-PAID POINTS because it's not done yet.


Seeing as how your case is this weird, just wait the 2 months (pretend you're waiting on a game release for the PS4 if you really want) and then renew. This is too funny though because the most simple of things became so complex that even I don't even know what else to tell you man lol.
It's something they introduced for a while about...2 years ago? That you had to have a backup payment option on your live account. They may have removed it since then but it's no bueno.

Unless their systems get hacked (hey there Riot and Sony) bad enough I don't see a problem. I don't have my card connected on PSN or LoL but for Live I only did so because I've purchased from the MS store (requires MS acct which is just....). Definitely no bueno man sorry to hear that. Some friends of mine got fucked from the Target thing but hopefully you get reimbursed for it (they did). Aside from that yeah just set an alert for 2 months from now. Your XBox doesn't automatically renew (DISABLE THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T) and it'll pop up with a message asking if you wanna renew or go Silver. You will keep all your years of Live Gold when renewed even if you became Silver for a bit.

I stopped automatic renew long ago, and I changed banks too, get my money if you can find any, because I'd love to spend some money.

If I find any your money I'll make sure to give it to you (half ;)). Jk but yea the only way to spend for online is with pre-paid as it's the most worth it, esp when deals go out.


Alright... I just decided to pop Spinal into a mirror CPU-CPU match for the hell of it and it's not going anywhere. As in... they're both using their shield charge FOREVER! Hmm I'll leave this for a half hour before I get bored.

Sounds like someone broke an NDA on all those Halo/Xbone leaks.

And of course that guy would be in trouble. I would've been more surprised if Microsoft didn't do anything about it.

Shouldn't they be taking legal action on the idiot who decided to murder their PR by suggesting they offer people money for trading in their Sony consoles, instead?

That would imply it wasn't their idea. Not that it's ever stopped them from shifting responsibility only when it blows up in their face.

Microsoft sewing the guy for leaking shit people mostly assumed was going to be announced sooner or later, not surprised. I can see why Microsoft would take legal action... but that doesn't mean Microsoft is doing the right thing. Things like Halo 2 Anniversary were expected (seriously I'd leave the guy/gal alone) and a white XBox One was highly requested so it was also expected. Don't waste time on this Microsoft please (pretend sure, but don't act on this).

That's not even a fucking pack-in, that's just a goddamned download code. How the hell do people get away with this shit these days?

All the same I bet all those million or so early buyers are pretty annoyed now.
