Xbox Live ate my money.
« on: May 05, 2010, 06:08:05 am »

Okay, so I had 800 Microsoft Points sitting there, not buying anything (lazy sods) so I decided to change my gamertag.

I go in, pick a name that isnt taken (that was real surprising), press "confirm". It spits out some error, charges my points, and then doesnt change my name.

Is it supposed to take time? Is that normal? Why was I even doing it in the first place?

Three of live's great mysteries.

Edit: Come to think of it, why the hell do they even charge in the first place?

Because they can, and everybody likes making money right?

However, on the error itself: Call microsoft support. You will always get a problem fixed when it relates directly to money.

Scream at them so hard your righteous spittle falls through the phone upon their vile, light-hating faces and dissolves the stolen skin to reveal the cruel inhumanity beneath as they toil and stoke their coal-fires in the vast labyrinth beneath Redmond.

But seriously, yeah, they should fix that up for you if you just give them a call. And being nice will help, as these folks are just the call center people.

Well, just an update. My MS points arrived back in my account for no reason, (seriously, I didnt even do anything) and I changed my GT. So everythings worked out.

Name is FluffyToast J if anyone wants to have a game or something. Also, Locked...
