Pembroke parent gets $8K Xbox bill after son racks up charges

[Tools]

Oh hell, I'm 23 and got a deal with my dad that he pays my phone bills which I use to pay for tanning salons.

Age's got nothing to do with it, the kid's just retarded and got greedy.

[SteakStyes]

That kid had better of gotten some pretty sweet cards, whatever they'd be, for spending almost eight grand.

I mean seriously, I used to get guilt tripped when I was that age and used the debit card to buy a game for $20. If I ended up spending eight grand on a gachapon for a multiplayer game my mother would have skinned me, doused me in rock salt and THEN while I was in pain and potentially dying made me pay it back. Somehow keeping me alive until it was paid back.

Of course she wouldn't really do that, but she would have been pissed off enough to almost do so.

I know the passwords to everything my mom has and most of my dad's passwords. It doesn't mean I'm gonna be a total jerk about it. It means that I'm going to use them with permission, with sanity, with respect, and with convenience.

Surely this kid knew what he was doing, I had my parent's cards on my Xbox Live account since I was like 11 and even at 11 I knew never to buy shit without asking first.

Because you can buy points for card openings to make your dream team.

Its like CSGO case unboxings and it even has people with channels who just upload loads of "pack openings".

"I got a pink camouflage Terry! I can sell this for $50! Ooh, and a glow-in-the-dark Zidane! That's like $300!"

I think there should be some rule where, if you spend more than 10 times the game's original cost on microtransactions, it should give you anything else for free and send over some high class prostitutes.

Moral of the story, don't give credit cards to the least responsible child in the family.

Yes.
