Father blames Microsoft as son spends £1150 on Xbox Live - Polidicks

I wonder if he gets to keep his elite account :v:

[QUOTE=PowerBall v1;36751954]yeah, whatever. Microsoft should keep what may just be the fathers salary for this month, and leave them with £1150 of useless junk. God forbid having any decency or compassion. The only way something like this could happen is if you're dumb in the head, natural selection at work folkes. Fucking Darwin award. Hope they starve.[/QUOTE] just shut up.

[QUOTE=PowerBall v1;36751838]they should just give them a refund[/QUOTE] of course they should but no wait im perfect and this guy is an insult to humanity im gonna go jack off to pony drawings

This is like your kid asking for your credit card to go buy some shit from the electronics store and then acting surprised when he comes back with a shitload of stuff and a huge bill. The card is your responsibility, not Microsofts god damnit.

[QUOTE=abcpea2;36752128]of course they should but no wait im perfect and this guy is an insult to humanity im gonna go jack off to pony drawings[/QUOTE] see above.

Why would Microsoft have to refund them? It's not Microsoft's fault the father didn't check his bank statements/check up on his kid. It's the kid's and father's fault.

They should refund some of his money for publicity then ban his account for negative publicity.

Reminds me back a while ago I used my brother's card to make a one-month payment of £5 for some Xbox LIVE, it signed him up for monthly payments and neither of us realised, so I payed him the ~£100 that it had taken over the course of about two years and cancelled it. It's fucking shit, nowhere did it say "Sign me up for a payment of £5 a month!" or whatever. Conners.

hahah god damnit of course he knows it costs money he's just a faggot.

I remember something like this. Back when Halo 3 was just released, I was hanging out with some of my stoner friends (I don't smoke myself) and we were playing around on forge. All of a sudden Justin who is completely baked says "WHOA GUYS WAIT STOP I THINK THIS SHIT COSTS REAL MONEY" and then everyone starts buying flamethrowers for 35 bucks apiece and Justin is freaking out because he doesn't know how he'll tell his parents, when the sober ones finally tell him that it's not real money and that idea is preposterous.

That does remember me that my GFWL account is still restricted, lost password for the restriction, which means I can't buy DLC at all even if I wanted to. Meanwhile some twat spends thousands of pounds on games, gg Microsoft.

12 years old and didn't think it was real money? There's no way around it, the kid is a total fucking idiot.

My younger brother has bought stuff on the playstation store before with my account. He was 7 though

Kid goes on spending spree Dad finds out Kid says he didn't know it costed money Gullible father believes him. The only way you wouldn't know it costed money is if you couldnt read and were pushing random buttons. And the parent is a dumbass because there are parental controls to restrict children buying stuff as far as I know.

[QUOTE=EvilPengy;36751699]He shouldn't even be playing CoD in the first place. The 18 rating is there for a reason.[/QUOTE] Wait a moment, why?

Second time this has happened actually.. it's idiotic.

we are human bengs and deservd to spend

if your parent blames it on microsoft instead of you for spending over 1k, that means they put a shit load of trust into you. there was a time where you can ASK for money if you wanted something so much.

Blame it on the big corporation that's currently holding your money, and you stand a slightly better chance of getting a refund (if partial) as well as exiting with your dignity intact.

Flag the kid's account as a cheater, and work out some deal with the dad about the money (refund if possible, otherwise i have no clue).

[QUOTE=Gareth;36754656]but also looking like a shitty parent who is also really dumb for believing their kid instead of just telling him off and accepting that kids do dumb shit[/QUOTE] Well, yeah, pretty much.

[QUOTE=Crimptor;36754172]Wait a moment, why?[/QUOTE] Yeah, it's all pretty tame all things considered. As in kids have seen the same violence from movies. They aren't going to go nuts from some zombies getting their heads ripped off. Well, unless the parents totally shelter their children.

[QUOTE=EvilPengy;36751699]He shouldn't even be playing CoD in the first place. The 18 rating is there for a reason. Also it baffles me how he spent £100 on FIFA & CoD (in one day), Activision must be charging a lot for their map packs now :v:[/QUOTE] So you've never played a M rated game when you were under 18? Okay.

if the human bengs no longur spend munny then how dus the econommy werk we deserveded a penshun

Oh, no. I have a stupid as hell kid who fucked up and ran up a massive bill. Let's lie a bit and sell this to a crap newspaper to cover that bill. Great, that worked well.
