A mother has expressed her anger at Microsoft, after her 11 year old boy managed to rack up a bill of £1000 on her debit card via his Xbox. Apparently, the kid made all the purchases without understanding that it was going through to her card. He purchased an array of games and accessories after the box reportedly SAVED the details of a card registered before. So we guess this is why the Mom thinks its MS's fault.

This kid knew what he was doing. If I was his father/mother I would "de bo" his 360 for good and make him start cutting lawns around the neighborhood until he paid off all the debt he created.

Exactly right, It is clearly written before each purchase how much it costs and if you want to add more microsoft points. Smart ass little kid being 11 lying to his parents saying it wasn't his fault sounds about right

ouch.... I won't like to be the parent or the kid right now. Why would you put your debit card details on your kids xbox anyway?

Why she getting angry at m$. Don't get me wrong I fuc*ing hate m$ more then anyone on here probably, but getting angry at them, because your son racked up a bill(HUGE ONE AT THAT GOD DA*N!!!!!!) is just fu*cking retarded. What she needs to do is watch her crap.

PS If I was her, that kid would get one HELL of a beating for that. I'm talking massive beating, not being able to sit on his a*s for 1-3 months in the least. I'm talking child services coming in probably, neighbors down the street hearing him crying, and me cursing the fact he spent up that much money on some retarded crap.

Either way its not m$'s fault in the least. How are they supposed to know it wasn't the parents using the card, but some little boy who's balls haven't even dropped yet. m$ may have lost its way along its path to glory(lol), and become a money grabbing company that no longer cares about its end products or the nerds who once worshiped the very ground of bill gates, but they aren't in the wrong with this one.

P.S. Apples becoming the new m$ when it comes to caring about what its customers/fanboys get w/ the end product and consumer/business relations.

And of course, it's the company's fault. *sigh* I just can't help but feel scared for the future, what this all these ignorant and self righteous people going about. I'll bet she treats her kid like a god and praises him on everything and never scolds him, and if he does anything wrong then it must be somebody else's fault. And the kid, not having any discipline, will just grow up to be spoiled. *sigh*

Welcome to the Politically Correct Society, where punishment is wrong, praise is rewarded for anything and everything and where you WILL go to jail if you smack your child. Remember Parents there is always something to blame, it's not your angel child, its those Murder Simulator companies.

I think that sums it up rather nicely:P

Quite frankly, it's everybody but Microsoft's fault. The Mother or leaving her card details on the system, and the son for either A) Being stupid enough not to know that 'buying' means that you pay for something or B) just being a complete tosser.

On society itself, it is getting far worse than most people realize. People can't just use 'common' (not that common, shockingly) sense to not do stupid things. A favorite comedian of mine made a very good point; we've become so desensitized to logical reasoning, we now have to rely on the governments to tell us what's safe and what isn't. You see a bloody deep hole in the ground, you'll probably die if you jump in it. You'd think it'd be bloody obvious that it's a bad idea, but there's bound to be somebody that would be stupid enough to jump, so a law is passed that says that it has to have something to 'protect the public from it'. Can't just walk around it, can we?
