Not that I know of... maybe it's because you're a Redskins fan?

But for those of you that didn't see the other thread that I posted this in, I read this interesting bit of news today at work:

"If you tried to curl up on the couch with a few Xbox 360 games over the holiday season, your day likely ended more in frustration than relaxation and excitement. The system was experiencing problems during the last week in December, resulting in many players who couldn't log online to the Live service for multi-player game play. However, Microsoft has been quick to appease its upset game-geeks by reportedly offering a free game download to all Xbox Live subscribers around the world, valued anywhere from $5 to $20.

Further details will be available in the coming weeks.

Xbox Live General Manager Marc Whitten attributes the connectivity issues to a large number of new users trying to get online at the same time. I can believe it, given that video games, and likely Xbox Live service subscriptions, were hot gift items this year. What do you do after opening presents and stuffing your face with turkey? Kick back with some video games! Nevertheless, players I know were confused: why were routers, Internet connections, and PCs working, yet connection to Xbox Live wasn't?

I have to commend Microsoft on its quick response to the issue, and fully admitting its disappointment in having inconvenienced its customers. As for the upset gamers, I say as long as you didn't see a blue screen of console death, take the free game that's being offered and appreciate that these things can and will happen."

Ok, I've ****ing had it with Microsoft.

I have over a month left on my XBL membership, but when I try to log it, this pops up;

'Your account has been suspended due to a problem with your payment option. Please use a different payment option or update your current information in Account Management'

WHAT THE ****. My CC is fine.

Why are they trying to charge me again after they've already charged me?



Just think, only a few more weeks until my PS3, and no more of this ****

Which would be the reason why they're flying off the shelves and being played endlessly.

The PS2 outsold the PS3 over Christmas. What does that tell you?

Okok, let me rephrase:

At least I won't be paying for issues.

Better?
