About Me
Well I'm the host of "ComicTube", a Podcast dealing in reviews and news of comicbook, video games, and fantasy movies and TV series'. If you'd like to give us a listen ill a link below, we need some Itunes reviews and could always use some more forum activity. I'm really into the AMV craze, it's a really good way to get my visions across since I'm a Film Student anyway, right now I have ALMOST 200 videos on YouTube. I would gladly make one for anyone here on Destructoid if you all have a suggestions. I'm really into comics and anime, my favorite comic by FAR is the X-Men. There is just SO much diversity in all the titles of it's long run. Currently not watching too much anime, just Bleach, I can't stand to read the dubs cause I get sleepy so I am really waiting on Gurren Laggen to come to America.
To para-phrase "The Boondock Saint's"
"EAT SLEEP WORK GAME These are principals which every man of every faith can embrace."

Braid Buyer's Get Jipped/Refunded
skull13666 | 3:08 PM on 04.25.2009 6 comments


During the "Week's of Arcadia" promotion that Microsoft has been running they released Braid for 800 MS points, as opposed to it's normal priceing of 1200. YET, anyone who bought it the week of Feb. 23rd were STILL charged 1200 MS points. Microsoft is now refunding you 500 points {instead of the 400 extra you paid} and issueing emailed apologies seen below.

"Dear Xbox LIVE Gold Member:
We launched Deal of the Week program on Feb 23rd, 2009 as an added benefit to your Gold membership and we are very excited to see the overwhelming response we have received from our loyal users such as you.

As a result of the increased transactions we know that you experienced an intermittent Xbox LIVE issue, which resulted in you being charged full price of 1200 points for the ‘Braid' deal instead of the discounted price of 800 points. We sincerely wish to apologize for the
technical glitch and would like to take this moment to thank you for your patience and understanding as our team worked around the clock to fix this problem.

We will not only be crediting back the 400 points that were overcharged, but also be crediting an extra 100 points as a token of our appreciation and as a thank you for your loyalty during this period. You will see a credit of 500 points in your account in the coming weeks."

First they overcharge for Braid, then miss-announce Lode Runner's price!

Oh Microsoft!

Sweet deal for Live members though, free 100 points.

I actually bought Braid while it was on sale immediately after adding 1600 points to my account. After buying it, I could have sworn I should've had more points left, but I wasn't sure about the original amount in my account so I let it slide... shamefully.

I'm definitely glad I had the money refunded - especially since they added an extra 100 points for their error!
