Gears of war 2? then you pick fable out of fallout, you are obviously a fanboy.

To the OP i recommend Fallout 3, because its longer, more fun, the story has more depth to it, the weapons are kick ass, and you will actually enjoy it more than fable 2, i got fable 2, fallout 3 and gears of war 2 and i've played them obviously because i have them, i even beat fable 2 and i'm nearly finished with gears 2, out of all 3 of the games Fallout 3 is clearly the winner.

Make sure all information including phone number and billing address associated with the card is correct, if it is not correct then it will not work. What type of Debit Card do you have, is it a Visa, Mastercard, American Express or an unknown company that isn't listed?

If nothing works you should take a trip to your bank, get the card information and see if it matches the information you have been entering on xbox live. If that doesn't work then you might want to see someone at the bank to help you resolve the issue, i doubt its that it won't accept your credit card. Its either some information is being entered wrong, there is insufficient funds in your account, its not a major company card like for example: mastercard or visa, or the bank is blocking the transactions. 

Its obviously Bull **** Xbox 360 will stay Xbox 360, there will be no slimmer version, only upgrades will occur, i called xbox just now and they said microsoft has no plans on making/releasing a so called "Xbox 540" or a slim version of the 360, so i say BOGUS!

does anyone know if the promotion is u.s. only? I'm trying to buy a hard drive for my brother but when putting the shipping adress it only has united states listed and wont let me change it, is there something I'm missing or what.Mapleleafs4life

May i have a link to this so called "Upgrade Promotion" because i honestly don't believe it.

[QUOTE="Ps2stony"]Actually what's normal is signing a contract to pay 5$ a month not paying the whole contract up front. I'm pretty sure ALL other subscriptions have this system.Ps2stony

Um its not even a contract.

You are saving money by getting a 12 month subscription, if you want you can get the gold messanger pack for 70 bucks which comes with a headset, keyboard, PGR4, 12 month subscription and a 3 month trial of netflix which will be available sometime in november.

Look, the Gold Subscription is $50.00, PGR4 is $24.99, The Keypad is $19.99, The headset is $19.99.

Count it up because it adds up to $115.00 Plus tax. So how much are you saving there?! $45.00 is what you are saving, plus you get a free trial of netflix which is available on xbox 360 after the fall update which is in november so you get 3 months to download and see all the movies you want.

I know what i'm talking about because i've bought the Pack and i even contacted microsoft to verify this information.

seriously, anyone that says gears is rubbish seems to get called a troll, fanboy or pirate while they get shouted abuse at, all the while a few people stick their heads in the sand and keep saying how awesome gears 2 will be, I preordered this game, but I'm willing to accept crtiscism, as are many people who like this game. So to those of you (and you know who you are) who are so narrow minded that they can't comprehend gears being anything other that amazing...well, perhaps take a more open minded stance.JJpenguin

Who ever thinks Gears is rubbish is a ***** thats my opinion, i'm no Gears fanboy but i know a good game when i play one. Gears Of War 2 will be one of the best games of 08 no doubt about it, but i say Fallout 3 will dominate all competition and before anyone calls me a Fallout fanboy let me tell you think... I have never played a fallout game.
