Hear ye, hear ye! Let is be known throughout the kingdom that Microsoft has caught up with the modern era and opened its very own online store! This store will be selling a wide selection of robust and highly dependable Microsoft products, including the critically acclaimed, incredibly popular Windows Vista.
The store is also selling a wide variety of games and Xbox 360 accessories. Well that's just plain convenient, isn't it? Nothing like drinking water from the source, right? Well, no. Not when you consider the fact that Microsoft, in all its wisdom, is charging $6.99 shipping on top.
Yeah ... I think I'll be sticking to Amazon for my online shopping needs, thank you very much.
God damn it, Microsoft ... you fail all the time.

Why would you buy a 360 game in the first place? ZING!
Besides L4D that is ;)
MicroSoft = Massive failure
I pre-ordered L4D on STEAM for $45, awesome right!? No, not really....
It was in US funds and after the conversion into Canadian on my CC I paid a bit more than what I could have picked it up in town for. I had no idea that it was charging me US through the entire purchase process untill I looked at my CC bill.
But they took Gears off the list just before Gears 2 came out. >.> Probably afraid the hype for 2 would actually encourage people to finally pick up their cheap copy of Gears.
*Grumble*
