All the Final Fantasy games are on sale, just picked up FF XII the Zodiac Age (60fps on X1X) and FF IX (9) because it was €14 and although X/X-2 HD was also on sale, I can't stand how the main protagonist looks. :shifty:

A single mum has already ‘cancelled Christmas’ after her son racked up more than £3,000 buying XBox games on her credit card.

Martine Berriedale-Johnson, 40, had treated Leon, eight, to a £4.99 add-on for a game one time, but didn’t realise her card information had saved.

She then was stunned to receive her monthly credit statement and discover he had spent £3,120 over a three-week period.

The mum-of-two said her bill usually comes to £30 a month and is not able to pay the amount off.

Martine said: ‘I’m a single mum and I already struggle to put food on the table. I’m always really careful with my finances. I just don’t know how I’m going to pay this bill.’

She then added: ‘I’ve told the boys Christmas is cancelled and that they’re not getting any toys. I don’t even know if I’ll be able to afford Christmas dinner after this.’

Martine, a full-time mum, says Leon wasn’t asked to enter the card’s security number every time he made a purchase online.

On August 16, he made 19 purchases that came to the whopping total of £978.81, while two days later he made seven more purchases, including one for £199.99.

Microsoft have a 14-day window for refunds, but as most of his purchases were three weeks ago, Martine was worried she wouldn’t get the money back.

However the company say they have since given her a full refund.

A spokesperson told Metro.co.uk: ‘Family settings and tools enable parents to block their children from making online purchases.

‘We review all reports, and in cases where we our investigation confirms that purchases were made by a minor without parental permission, we may decide that a one-time refund is appropriate.

‘On this occasion, the customer has been fully refunded.’

I wonder if Sony and Nintendo would have been this accommodating...

Microsoft have given a full refund but she’s already cancelled Christmas?

When he was 2 my son accidentally bought a movie on an Amazon Fire stick. Rather than running to the papers I realised it was my own damn fault and changed the settings to stop it happening again.

No. It didn’t cost her £3000 either as it was refunded.

She’s not the winner, she’s not having Christmas.

So we’re just performing monkeys now. They dangle a carrot and we jump through their gamified hoops.

The Xbox dash really is so damn buggy and slow. Currently trying to load up the Microsoft Rewards app after watching a film and it locks up every time on the medal screen. After about 30 seconds it then boots me back to the home screen.

The sound muffling/popping sporadically (less than a second) when you initially load up an app is amateur hour as well.

Restart your console, also, if you're part of the preview program best get out.

Bolt's a good tie-in game, I seem to recall. Or at least on the same level as Toy Story 3 became. Maybe. I'll have to look.
