Sephiroth Posted May 18, 2003 what ever you do dont get the X-Box live packs you see at stores! they are a rippoff. i knew it was too good of a deal from microsoft, $50 for a year of X-Box live. so i bought one and got home, when i went to use it i found something fucking lame. please give us a credit card number!!! WTF i though you said this package was 1 year. so u need a credit card to use it, some of us dont have credit cards nor plan to own one(personaly me) also it says some junk about extra charges for premium packs( so i am sure all the content downloads fall under that shit) this sucks because i payed $50 for something i cant use. so if you were thiking about getting one of those packs, DONT. I tried to return it but they said i cant because i had opened it. Billgates can eat my shit for all i care. 0 Share this post Link to post
Arioch Posted May 18, 2003 Blaming Bill Gates for Microsoft is good. Blaming a blatantly subscription service for wanting a credit card number is even better. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sephiroth Posted May 18, 2003 microsoft can suck my ass. if i ever saw bill gates i would beat the shit out of him with a bat. also content downloads do cost money!! and games can add additionla charges to the bill. more reason to aviod that pack. I know it stinks like rotten meat, but hey this is america land of the rich assholes. so lesson is. beating bill gates to death with a bat and putting his head on your car would make the world a better place 0 Share this post Link to post

Insomniak Posted May 19, 2003 consoles in general suck. get a new computer and a xbox emulator. 0 Share this post Link to post
AndrewB Posted May 19, 2003 X-Box emulator? Considering how difficult it is to make a good N64 emulator, hard to believe X-Box could be anything more than a black screen app. Then again, I wouldn't know. By the way, I hope I misspelled X-Box. Wouldn't want to give them any unearned credit. 0 Share this post Link to post
Fredrik Posted May 19, 2003 Considering that the X-Box in practice is a light-weight PC with a DirectX-like programming interface, it seems to me that emulating it would at least be easier than emulating a GCN or a PS2. 0 Share this post Link to post
AndrewB Posted May 19, 2003 It seems to me that Microsoft would have the resources and willpower to make emulation difficult and frustrating. 0 Share this post Link to post

Naked Snake Posted May 19, 2003 Anyway, another thing, you blaming this on Bill Gates. All he did was found Microsoft, he probably had very little to do with the X-Box live shit. That's like me saying "Fucking Henry Ford, I should bash his skull in with a shovel" when my Ford truck breaks down on the side of the road. 0 Share this post Link to post

Lüt Posted May 19, 2003 That still doesn't mean he's responsible for your truck breaking down :P 0 Share this post Link to post

Hobo Posted May 19, 2003 Same thing i found out with Everquest. It says it comes with 1 free month, i go to setup my account and it says "please enter a valid credit card number or Everquest game card". I still have it sitting around. Pissed me off. Spent $40 for nothing. 0 Share this post Link to post
12ga. Posted May 20, 2003 stupid fucking credit card shit!!, I got that damn package from electronics boutique store or some shit and got home and it said enter a fuckin credit card number.......grrrrr I hate that shit . I'v had it sitting there in my room pissing me off for 2 and a half weeks now. 0 Share this post Link to post
Lord FlatHead Posted May 20, 2003 Maybe you should've informed yourself a little before spending $50. It's not like Microsoft is hiding the fact that subscription requires a credit card. 0 Share this post Link to post
