Don't need anything and I'm confused about the points and Membership

@Rortaro considering the money they make that's cheap! xD
 
I was going to post when topic was made.. but also assumed people would just ignore it..

it's just taking advantage of he customer service in order to get stuff, which makes it about the same as stealing/lying, if you have any moral opposition against that.

that someone is "getting credit" for this at all seems a bit.. childish. people have been doing this for years, if i'm not mistaken, but with different things.

but eh. cool to know microsoft customer service is gullible enough to send out free stuff if you lie properly.
 
Does it work with bigger hard drives? my 60 gb is full. But I might just wait till next year to get a whole new xbox, when I don't owe my grandparents 5000 dollars. :S
 
It's essentially stealing, and that ain't cool yo.
And even if I cold bypass my morals, I'm the worst liar in history.

What do you have on your Xbox? I, in four years used around 4GBs cleared it to 3.4GB

It is actually funny. I thought it was a gift from them, not "Hey grandson I'll buy you all this crap but you have to pay me back herp derp".

I need it to create a college portfolio, I was saving for it myself, but I won't have everything by Feb. They were kind enough to lend me the money and let me pay it back. And gift? Yeah right, maybe for some spoiled rich kid who's never even been to a job interview.

A gift on the fly, no way. Something like birthday/Christmas, possibly. Even then, that's quite a big thing to be getting.

Lemme guess, you're a spoiled 12 year old. You don't just get a 5000 gift from someone that needs it and expect nothing in return. That's like getting a lend for money on a car and then not paying it back because you accepted it as a gift.

Birthday and Christmas, at least for me, would still be no way. I'm lucky to get a game from each person, nvm $5000+ of film equipment.
