I still do not understand why anyone would pay for a single month when you can receive a free monthly trial atleast 5 different times before they start making you pay. All that is required is a different email address and some basic infos, my buddy has done this atleast 5 times.

I would imagine either you pissed one of the operators off, or the computers were down and they gave you the run around. Yes it is shitty, but that happens EVERYWHERE, not just on live. When these large companies farm out their customer support to India, this always seems to happen.

Your best bet is to make that call again, because if you ever do intend on coming back to live or selling your 360 in the future it is better to stop a problem now (when it is easy) than deal with something worse down the line. And I am certain they won't give you anything for your inconvienance, except an apology. If they handed out live points for pissed off customers, people would be calling them 24/7 if they were wronged or not.

 

For paragraph #1.

Maybe I like my gamerscore?

For paragraph #2.

It isn't possible that they are just dumb? I was very nice with them and after the first call I thought everything was perfect, I had great customer service, they were nice, etc...

Paragraph #3.

I will indeed call again, only to express my disgust in my 1 month endevour to get this sorted out. I have never been vocal with customer support and to be honest I probably won't here either, I just can't bring myself down to that level even if I say I will.

If I wind up selling my 360, which I will not, it is ok since I enjoy my PS3 majority of the time and honestly I think the games on there are much better, I have only played the first 7 chapters of Valkyria Chronicles and I can honestly say it is by far the best JRPG/SRPG (whatever) I have played this gen, hands down. I kick LO to the curb. Not saying LO is bad, it is just that it doesn't even come close for me.

 

 

Another thing I do not like is that if I want my girlfriend to play Castle Crashers with me online WHY THE FUCK do I need to pay for online again? Seriously, $50 per player?  Go fuck off Microsoft.

How anyone supports pay per account instead of pay per console is beyond me.

 

You can keep the trial account after the first month as long as you pay for the service.  In which case your score would remain intact.   And like you stated above you wanted to "try it out" so to me that made me think that you had no gamer score.  So I still do not understand the need to pay for it.  I am not trying to say your an idiot or anything like that, I was just wondering.  So don't take offense to it.

You think live is bad try talking to those dumbass's over at dishnetwork.  They have the absolute worst phone service known to man, and that is the reason I switched over to  Directv.  So just stick with your PS3 and then your troubles are behind you.  CHEERS!
