LOL.

My boyfriend had to cancel the bank account and card it was being charged too because they wouldn't cancel the service.

He got an email earlier this month saying he'd signed up for another 12 month subscription. Win/win?

That's what you get.
I assume you play PS3 after making that comment.

Now allow me to ask you a few questions.

Looking forward to the new Gears Beta?
-Didn't think so seeing as you can't play it.

How's your exclusive games?
-O beat God of War last year did you?

How's party chat?
-O thats right your user interface sucks.

Having fun being in the same game lobby to talk to your friends?


People who own both will say Xbox is better because of that last reason. $5 is a small price for a superior experience
Oooo look at the all powerful holder of the Gears of War. Xbox Live costs $10 a month. I own a game system to play games, not dick around with morons online. I prefer PS3 over Xbox. Does that factually make PS3 better? No, it's my personal preference, just like yours is 360. I don't understand why we can't just accept that Wii is better than both of them.

I'm on the phone right now cancelling my xbox live account and I just have to say what a pain they made it to cancel. It's very easy to sign up, you can do it on your xbox but to cancel? Well, you can't even do it online. You can do pretty much everything else under the sun online but to cancel you actually have to call them during bussiness hours Monday to Friday.

I know why they did that, to make it hard for people to cancel so they keep paying out of laziness but I just wanted to say how much it annoys the hell out of me that this is just another money grabbing tactic they employ. How about making a decent machine that doesn't red ring of death me every few months, or coming up with decent games that I actually want to buy instead of resorting to these kind of tactics.

Bah!
I'm guessing you mean your canceling your gold membership, not your account, in which case...

Unless they removed the feature, its called going to the Xbox live website and turning off auto-renewel. They added this feature because enough people complained.

Oh boy, my Flame War Radar is starting to buzz...
*Puts on raid helmet*

OT: Odd, all I had to do was drain my bank account and Microsoft canceled my subscription... If there's no money in your account, they won't even bother charging. X3

This doesn't work anymore?
Only works with Americans.
No, it doesn't work for us anymore either. That's what I was looking for when I posted earlier, but instead found that they went back to the "you have to call to get it turned off" nonsense.

While Edgeworth wasn't the first one to use that expression, he sure said it better than anyone else. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v611/mjc0961/IMG_0122.jpg?t=1301856348

That's actually Microsoft "costumer support" that you've been dealing with. Shameful is the only word for it.

It's under account options, I do believe :)
This. Either that or remove your payment options so they cancel your account (mine was suspended with threat of cancelation for not having up to date details set properly on an obscure website)

The only bad part about Xbox is getting someone that doesn't have an accent you can't understand. Other than that its a pretty easy to use set up. The 360's rarely RR anymore mine recently RR after 4 years of playing it A LOT I am surprised it didn't RR sooner.

As for making ANOTHER Xbox Hate thread this is all I have to say:

Um, you know you can just remove the credit card you use to pay for the service online right?

Case 3 of the first game i believe. It was used as a comeback against Wendy Oldbag... Or it may have been in the final case of the second game, but i'm more inclined to say the former

Bah!
Every few months?

My Xbox didn't red-ring at all for 4 years, and when it did, it was overheating from dust build-up. How is that for a decent machine?

Console loving fanboys are goddamn hilarious. Reminds me of my IGN years...
