Worked for me (VERIZON) - just waiting on the email now. Thanks!

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
Worked for me on Sprint, although I had to do the original message in all caps to get it to go through (I know it shows that in the original post, but a lot of these don't seem to be case sensitive. This one appears to have been for me.)
And thanks! |
re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
Thanks Xbox69!

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
I don't think I ever got the email yet. Anyone else get it?
figures. I just checked and it was in my spam folder. if you didn't get the email check, there! |
re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
So....my account got hacked or whatever and drained of the 3000 points I had sitting on it. :( Awesome. Anyone else had to deal with this recently? I wasn't on for the past few days, but saw it showed me playing FIFA 2012 yesterday, which I don't play, and noticed my points were down from 3000 to 34. Changed my password info and opened the case with Xbox, but they're telling me I have to stay offline for 6-7 days, which blows. Awesome. :(

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
Damn that sucks. Sorry to hear it.
j/c : What did they do with the points? Transfer them to another account or spend them on something? And does it show in your account purchase history? |

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
Yeah I had bought my first EA game in years, NCAA 12 right before I got hacked. EA and MS swear that the servers were not compromised, but I think idiots like me who had the same EA and Live password prove this wrong.
|
re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
I had the FIFA hack a while back, it sucked but MS refunded most of the points and I changed all my emails/passwords.
|
re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
Had this happen in the fall. Same deal. Said I played FIFA 12. Don't own the game. Points went from 4300+ to 50.
Took Microsoft about 3 weeks before I could use my account and got my points replaced a few days later. Not to be a downer, but unless they are getting MUCH quicker 6-7 days is a pipe dream. Plan on a minimum of 2 weeks. Good news is they will take care of you, eventually. |

Awoke to an email of all of my account stuff being finalized and fixed and a code for my 3000 stolen points. So about a 48 hour turnaround for them. And on a weekend. Pretty damn fantastic actually.

Guess these are the days to get your account hijacked. Apparently. |
re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
Good turn around, mine took 6 weeks and I had to call at the 6th week to get my account reinstated. I hate that they make you keep a CC on record and have since used one of those Visa gift cards with about $0.80 left on it for my CC on record.
|
re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
No credit card on file here. I called and asked them to remove it.
|
re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
I didn't think anyone has had problems with hackers accessing credit info. I thought it was just stealing existing ms points. Or am I missing something?
|
re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
If you have a credit card on file they can buy more points to buy shit in Fifa. Credit info specifically, no, but they can run up a nice credit card bill just buying MS points.

Silver Chrome - $54.99 at Best Buy or $59.99 at Microsoft Store Blue Chrome - $54.99 at GameStop Red Chrome - $54.99 at Walmart.com And yes, they are exclusive to those stores. |
re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
Are those colors right? Seems like they really missed the obvious exclusives :lol:
|
re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
I was going to post that. I'm going to GS this week. :D

BTW, the text for the silver one at the Microsoft Store link indicates that the Play & Charge Cable is included. But they have it for $59.99. So either they're charging $5 more because their SKU has the cable, or they all have the cable, and they're $5 more at the MS Store because the MS Store is a bunch of dicks. |

From Sunday: http://www.joystiq.com/2012/05/13/st...hing-video-ad/
I wonder about this part: In March, Microsoft announced that Xbox 360 owners use the console more for its entertainment apps than for any actual gaming purposes, spending more than half of their Xbox time on Netflix and other music and video applications. |

I wonder about this part: In March, Microsoft announced that Xbox 360 owners use the console more for its entertainment apps than for any actual gaming purposes, spending more than half of their Xbox time on Netflix and other music and video applications. From the original article in March: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/ente...inity-mlb.html Yusuf Mehdi, who heads up marketing and strategy for Microsoft's Xbox business, said households now spend an average of 84 hours a month on the Xbox Live online service playing games, watching videos and listening to music. That's up 30% from a year ago. Just over half that time is spent on videos and music. By comparison, the average household spend about 150 hours a month watching television. "What we're seeing is that people are turning on the Xbox to play games and then keeping it on afterwards to get other types of entertainment," Mehdi said. |
re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
It's possible that data might be a little skewed as well - you have be Gold and online to use those entertainment apps, but you don't have to be online to play games. Maybe the living room xbox is used for Netflix and Hulu, instead of watching regular TV; but the other three Xboxes in the house are gaming-only and are used offline.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
Cool, I was just searching Amazon for those controllers over the weekend. Now I see why I couldn't find them. And :lol: at missing the color/store tie-in.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
So it looks like the Amazon Instant Video app is finally going to be on the Xbox. The most noticeable feature was a "watchlist" which is your Queue.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
Larry Hryb mentioned on his Twitter feed that the Amazon app can be downloaded today.
I wonder if this app will hurt some of Zune's business. |
re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
I had a Gold membership last year, but didn't find it worth the cost. (I don't really do any online gaming.) An addition like this, though, makes me reconsider resubscribing. Hopefully a good sale will come along.
The watchlist feature is long overdue for Prime. The press release from Amazon said you can organize it from your Xbox AND the web, so I guess they're finally adding that function to the site. (I haven't checked yet.) |

I think all those Paramount movies that were just added to Prime aren't available on Netflix. And I watch a couple British TV shows that aren't on Netflix. |
re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
Microsoft should have bought out Netflix years ago and scrapped the Zune marketplace. I don't see why anyone would still be using that service.
|
re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
Am I missing something or is the FF/REW feature on Amazon Video pretty much useless since there's no way to view what you're fast forwarding to, just a timestamp that advances.
