So, that's the email I got and I never even noticed that I was missing 400 points.

Hmmm.. maybe those points weren't deducted at all...

Its good they refunded you and gave you a bonus, but it was a little cheap offering just 100 points imo. It would have been a better jesture to offer 200 just because you can actually buy something with that amount of points.

Tease.

I, too, received this email a few hours ago. My question is how could they have charged me 1200 ms points when I only had like 920 in my account when I purchased it? I could be mistaken though. Either way I'll gladly accept the 500 ms points.

I also got the MS email, but I don't recall being overcharged for Braid. I'd think I'd have noticed if they took out 1200 points.

Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
