Attention Americans of OWF

Posted 03-21-2009 at 08:19 PM by Mac Sirloin
My parents were in your country over the march break, where they purchased a 1600 point Xbox Live card.

Unfortunately, it only works in the states.

So I have a proposition for you. I will trade the code for someone who can pay for some new points.

This might sound a bit more sleazy than I want it to, but here goes:

Basically, I'm going to give you my Sign in Info for XBL. I'm going to assume that you keep it private, and that you won't fuck around with me. Then, you'll use your bank/credit/ whatever card to purchase however many points 1600 equates to in real life, as buying points directly is cheaper.

I will not accept the offer from anyone. There's really only two people that I'd trust with this, and I won't name them because I may sound like a shitfuck.

Either before or after you purchase said points, I will send you the code and change all of my passwords, my Gamertag, and will be known as 'Slammer Beampants" here on out.


I don't expect anyone to accept this. But I want to throw it out there because Microsoft is a fucking stupid company for instigating this north american region lock in the first place and I'd rather not go through with their technical help service thankyewverymuch.

If using your Credit information or whatever makes you uncomfortable, maybe you could just like, mail me 22.60$ (Canadian) to get a new card. Or walk across the border and just buy one of the Canadian cards. Whatever.

If you only trust two people here, why not PM said people?

I trust those two people with handling my information. The border crossing shit is a completely different story.

I really doubt that someone lives close enough to the border/care enough to cross it to do it. And yes, do name them.

Not to sound presumptuous, DI, but it was you and OANST.

One reason being that I knew that both of you had 360's and Live, and therein were both familiar with the Points system. The other being is that both of you seem pretty trustworthy.

Well then I guess it's a matter of who has the money first. I'm in the process of getting ready for the big move, so funds are tight. If you don't mind waiting, I'd be happy to oblige.

And to hell with sounding presumptuous. Frankly, I'm flattered.

Disregard that. They can't give me more points. Fucking nerds.

I don't really mind waiting a little while, but would you be offended if I took the deal from OANST (assuming he didn't mind either) if it meant not having to wait? Understand that my parents intended it as a birthday present, and none of us expected region lock bullshit.

If OANST can do it before me, by all means, go through him.

Why don't you just sell the code and then use that money to buy your gaming points online at a qualified reseller instead of messing around with giving out your login info?

Pretty much what DI said. I can sell the code to other people privately, but not to anything else.

I'll do it. It's fine. I'll make it even simpler and just give you my card info. You will destroy it immediately afterwards.

No. I'm not trustworthy with that kind of shit. I'm not saying I will, but I have a huge problem with stealing, and I'd prefer not to fuck up bigtime on something like this.

Well....thanks for telling me.

Again, it's not that I don't appreciate the offer, and in all honesty there's a higher chance that I won't do something. But again, the risk is too great.


Not that I've ever done something like steal credit card info/abuse it, but it's just a line I'd prefer not to cross.

Well, I would fuck your ass silly if you ever were foolish enough to steal from me. But I doubt you would.

And that shit is easily trackable and easy to prosecute. It would be really stupid.

In that case, let's just do as you suggested. I can give you the code over a PM. And it'll be faster.

I'll give it to you on Live tonight.
