Stick with the Store-bought Point Cards: A Cautionary Tale

[Joust Williams]

If someone steals my CC and goes to dinner with it, I don't go to the restaurant and ask for my money back. Sucks for that guy, but talk to the CC company.

I don't have an irrational hate for Microsoft though.

But the credit card wasn't stolen. Microsoft allowed access to it without him needing to have the credit card. You don't have a rational ability to read either apparently.

[Joust Williams]

But his 360 was.

Good thing the PS3 isn't set up to allow that to happen.

Oh wait.

Considering you just did the same thing, you might want to back off the attacks.

[Yoshi]

But his 360 was.

Which was exactly my point. All Microsoft would have to do is ask for the security code to confirm each transaction, and it would be a moot point, but they don't. Their security, as always, is awful.

YAH YAH AYH YAH YAH YAH!

What does Sony have to do with any of this? Microsoft fucks up, and their defense is that someone else fucked up too? How does that absolve Microsoft again?

[Joust Williams]

No, MS messes up and you're on them like a fly on shit. They don't have a defense. I'm not saying I even disagree with you, but try not to make your hate for MS so obvious.

[Yoshi]

If I wanted to hide it, I'd try a little harder I suppose. I actually thought the 360 would be the first time they'd make a good product, but I was wrong. Still waiting.

[Joust Williams]

So for shits and giggles, I fired up the ol PS3 and after about 8 hours of waiting for it to update, I discovered that indeed, this same thing would happen.
