Glad a site reported this and didn't hop on the popular "It's the pirates who did it!" band wagon, like these guys.

"Pirate" is becoming such a loosely used term now. It is getting ridiculous.

Are you defending their actions? PIRATE! *points at you*

Hell, if SONY screwed up and I had a chance to get free money on my PSN account you bet your ass I would do it!

this is hardly free money. people who use these codes will be banned. every card has a specific code on it...microsoft knows who redeems these codes. if someone in the next couple of days redeems tens of thousands of points, microsoft can demand proof of purchase from them. when someone comes along with the card that has a used code, microsoft can fix it and whoever used the code previously will be banned.

I think the problem probably lies in that these will be sold places online and in auctions etc. Would be bad pr for ms to ban people who thought they legitmatly bought the points. If MS finds the ones who did it I am sure they punish them (probably sue/criminal) but other than that it would better for them to eat the cost.

Do you get off troll posts or something? Your sentence makes no logical sense, whatsoever, nor is it amusing in the slightest. Just sayin'.

did Microsoft send those guys a Windows phone yet?

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
