That's a real sad story OP. Would you like some cheese with that whine? OMG, you have to call DURING business hours!!! Who would be so selfish as to conduct business DURING BUSINESS HOURS!!!!!

And if you wanted to start an "xbox is stinky" thread, you should have gone to gaming discussion. 360's don't even red ring anymore.

There isn't even any discussion value here. lrn2makethreads.
Cheese with that whine?

You eat cheese with wine. It's a pun. The pun, or paronomasia, is a form of word play which suggests two or more meanings, by exploiting multiple meanings of words, or of similar-sounding words, for an intended humorous or rhetorical effect.[1][2] These ambiguities can arise from the intentional use and abuse of homophonic, homographic, metonymic, or metaphorical language. A pun differs from a malapropism in that, in a malapropism one uses an incorrect expression that alludes to another (usually correct) expression, but in a pun one uses a correct expression that alludes to another (sometimes correct but more often absurdly humorous) expression. Henri Bergson defined a pun as a sentence or utterance in which "two different sets of ideas are expressed, and we are confronted with only one series of words".[3] Puns may be regarded as in-jokes or idiomatic constructions, given that their usage and meaning are entirely local to a particular language and its culture.

Puns are used to create humor and sometimes require a large vocabulary to understand. Puns have long been used by comedy writers, such as William Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde, and George Carlin.
I'm just saying that Edgeworth (the guy shaking his head up there) used that exact same pun in the Ace Attorney games...

[sub]But i guess the amount of people who've played those games are in a minority :([/sub]

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!
This doesn't work anymore?

Lol, you paid for xbox live.
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

I assume you are a fine-taster. (Hidden pun... Or is it?)
Well, a very, very paranoid one.

Well, you could just, you know, troll and have the laugh of your life getting banned. It's not like with McAfee when even the God-fucking uninstall tool you have to download separately won't even work! FUCK FUCK SHIT FUCK I HATE MCAFEE GRROROAAAARRR!!! I even tried their phone service... Much fucking obliged asking me 10 questions on WHY I wanted to uninstall it. *Sigh*

But, my point being... Get banned, and McAfee sucks sandy camel balls.

You know it's super easy to change the payment options to pre paidcards and just not top up your account... I do it all the time.

Also: Quit the Fighting (Ps/Xbox} I have an Xbox 360, Wii, PS3, Pc, and GBA and they all suck

This is what you get for being an assumptious fanboy.

I bought a PS3 and built a PC (both significantly more expensive than the initial price of an Xbox 360). So the response to anyone who purchases another system is usually "Yeah well look at our exclusives Halo and Gears of War... and Halo... and Gears...".

Don't you think if I'd wanted to play either of those I'd have bought said cheaper console?

But all of that is what the point is not, the point is that any subscription service should have a secure online cancellation process. Given that you only get work hours within a work week to cancel. This makes it awfully hard for anyone to cancel if they have a job which requires permission to make personal phone calls.

This :3

I haven't got an Xbox but i get it. It's usually very inconvinient when companies pull that trick... Especially if said call is being stretched out with "please wait while we handle your request".

Companies should just do a simple "Cancel subscription" button somewhere...

A lot of companies make it hard to cancel. I remember trying to cancel Comcast internet and they shuffle you from person to person and put you on hold and it ends up taking like an hr to cancel. I guess they hope you just give up and still pay for their service.
