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

Actually it's much more than $1000, this is GBP we are talking about. so that's roughly $1600+, Guess it's time to mow some lawns :). *sigh* the things people do to try and get attention nowadays.

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?

Any parents on here that would let their kids get away with this?

sorry timmy no birth day presents for the next 50 years
