    Here is a simple story:
    1.) Greg owns an xbox console
    2.) Dogs like to chew, Oscar is a Dog
    3.) Oscar chew Greg's Xbox controller and opened Gregs Xbox
    4.) Oscar accidentaly bought 5,000 microsoft points worth 60 Dollars cause Greg keeps his credit card details in his xbox
    5.) Greg got a email confirming his purchase (happy?)
    6.) Greg blames the Dog

    Truth or BS?

    If i was a credit company and i heard that excuse, i'll return his 60 bucks and ask if i can slap him.

    What a crock of S.

    BS.

    I have never been called about confirming microsoft point purchases. I keep my credit card info details stored, and purchase them quite a bit. Just last week I downloaded the Family Fun thing and Sorry, Scrabble, Sorry Sliders, and Connect 4.

    He's just lying to try and be popular on the internet :)

    No he didn't get a call, he looked on his cell and saw the e-mail of his purchase (which does happen).

    The clip even says:

    He never got a call. Even the story on Kotaku clarifies.

    I think this story is believable, it's incredibly easy to purchase points on Xbox Live. If a child can add fake numbers on my contacts on my phone, then a dog could purchase MSpoints. Buying MS Points is a lot easier than adding contacts on my phone. :\

    Ok, change the call to email? happy? does it changes the fact about the news that the dog did buy xbox points? also, thats why it has a source, read, watch, hear it all you want, i'm just simplifying the article. Also you can report it to a mod, reason: wrongly posted message.

    Why would I report it? That's a ridiculous reason to get a warning.

    I said that it's an e-mail because two people talked about it and they jumped to conclusions, just saying.

    Buying MS points is incredibly easy, here's the quickest way to purchase MS points: Turn on the xbox (with the huge Xbox button), depending on which ad is highlighted or is present, press x, press a, and done. You just bought Microsoft Points.
