cant you show paypal the pics as proof that she DID get the items?

PayPal claimed that they did “everything” they could to get the money back. We sent PayPal a link to her facebook profile photos. FYI Apparently photographic proof is not sufficient evidence for PayPal.

I did not want to make this post, but since PayPal said there was nothing more they could do, and since this person stopped responding to my e-mails I felt like I had to warn others. Stuff like this isn’t cool, and I’m not going to sit idly by and let people do this.

You should talk to a lawyer. Even if you can’t directly sue this girl, Paypal might do something if prompted with litigation from you. Because what this person did is illegal, and Paypal wouldn’t want to go to court for being an accessory to a crime, now would they

chloek3:

Alright I get that the Xbox One doesnt seem like it is going to be an awesome console but don’t you guys think you should take posts like this with a grain of salt?

First, go check the sources. I cannot stress this enough. One guy said one thing. A few of the sources have added updates since they first came out. The thing about having to connect every 24 hours was hypothetical. So is everything this phil harrisson said. They have not yet determined how often you’ll have to connect to internet.

Paying the full price for used games: Not true.
”When a person sells the game or it is installed and played on another system, the game is deauthenticated on the original machine until the disc is brought back and used to re-authenticate the installation.

Our sources also said that there are no plans to charge gamers a fee to sell or reactivate a used game.” (source)

These were the two most problematic things to me, so these are the one I researched about. I don’t know about the rest, but I would say: Wait for more informations to come out before believing everything in this post.

Wait for Microsoft to officially tell you those things before freaking out.

>Tell people to go check sources
>Post a news article with an anonymous source

Yeah, you’re really helping your cause. Maybe you should check your own source first. It doesn’t seem very reliable.

Yup. This is what happens when I procrastinate.

This is supposed to be a joke, right? I get stubble within twelve hours.

i never shave my legs. it takes forever and honestly why bother

I only shave if I’m going to be wearing shorts or a skirt or something.

Even unshaved I don’t think my legs look quite like the sasquatch limbs everyone tries to imply they would be.

Microsoft Says They Won't Abandon Xbox 360 for 5 More Years

Sat, 25 May 2013 17:17:06 -0400

thegossipgamer:

Xbox fans have only 5 more years to enjoy their current console before having to switch to another (and I doubt it’ll be to the Xbox One). Yusuf Mehdi, a senior vice president at Microsoft, told OXM that the company expects another 25 million Xbox 360 consoles to be sold over the next five years.

“That’s something we’re shooting for, it’s not a financial plan as such, it’s just rough numbers if you will. To sell another 25 million, half of those will probably come from replacements, but half will come from new buyers.”

There are plenty more games heading to the Xbox 360, as well as many new announcements for E3. Let’s hope we’re impressed!

Oh thank god.

Sat, 25 May 2013 16:41:32 -0400

So I was ringing out a customer today who had a long, complicated order when a guy pushes ahead and interrupts, asking me, “How do I get a game unlocked?” And I said to him “Ya gotta wait a minute for me to open the case, I’ll be over once I finish with this transaction.”

So he stomps away and a few minutes later, when my co-worker is walking by electronics, the dude’s girlfriend goes up to her and says “Hey, I need a game!” and my co-worker says to her “Well, you have to wait for her, she has the keys.” And the girl just starts going off on her about how I’m a bitch and I’m rude and belligerent, and how she shouldn’t have to wait in line even if there’s people before her. So my co-worker just gets the keys off me and gets the game for them, but they have to wait anyway because we keep the games behind the counter and my register was the only one open at the time. So it still takes me about 5-10 minutes to complete this first transaction, and then I get to theres.

So I’m polite,and I smile and they say NOTHING to me about. My manager also came through and asked them if they had any problems, and they said no, they didn’t. So that was that, and they left…

But later on, maybe 15-20 minutes later, my manager and direct supervisor came back and told me they stopped them up front and said I was being rude, and that I was racist, and I’m just like “wut”. And I was like “Even after they told you right in front of me that there was no problem? I don’t understand.”

I mean I didn’t get in trouble, but it still miffs me that they went this far to try and get me in trouble just because they had to wait in line for a little bit. -_-;

dredsina:

when people argue against same-sex marriage by saying “every child deserves a mom and dad” or something

honestly that’s much less of an argument against same-sex marriage and WAY more an argument for more accessible and affordable adoption

I changed it from abortion to adoption because it fit better

Saving a life as opposed to taking it ya know

abortion was the whole point of my post though, so

i mean you could have made a different post rather than change mine

Because every child ever who gets put up for adoption or abandoned ends up adopted into a warm, loving family.

angelfire93:

Alright, if you’re a consumer and you’re considering picking up the new Xbox One console, then please, take a moment to listen to me. Before we begin, no, I am not a fanboy or a hater. I have no console Bias. I have a PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, and a Gaming PC. Each has their pros and cons but now onto business.

DO NOT BUY AN XBOX ONE. Why? See the reasons below:

Xbox Requires an internet connection. Here’s how it works: Every 24 hours your Xbox will try to connect to Microsoft’s servers for verification. If it is unable to connect, sucks to be you. You’re blocked from playing even single player games until it can connect.

Source: http://kotaku.com/xbox-one-does-require-internet-connection-cant-play-o-509164109

Do you like renting games, lending them to a friend, or even borrowing them from a friend? No longer possible. Every Xbox One game you get must be registered to your Xbox live account to be played. After that point it will only work for you. No one else can use it unless they pay a fee. Essentially it works like this. You pick up a used Xbox One game from somewhere or someone, pop it into your console. The system verifies it’s been registered to your account. Uh-oh, it isn’t! In order to play it, you have to pay Microsoft a fee, which is currently slated to be full retail price. Doesn’t matter how scratched up it is or how cheap you got it at gamestop or from a friend. You aren’t just buying the physical copies anymore. You’re paying Microsoft for a LICENSE to be allowed to play that game.

It is worth mentioning Microsoft is exploring ways for you to trade in and resell your used games. This is rumored to mean that you can sell your digital license to play the game (registration) back to microsoft, likely for microsoft points. You can then trade in the game at gamespot for some cash if you like. Either way, as it currently stands, the new owner would still have to pay a fee on top of the price of actually buying the physical copy.

Source: http://www.technobuffalo.com/2013/05/21/xbox-one-fee-for-buying-used-games-full-retail-price/

Is it worth mentioning that Microsoft if shafting Indie Developers as well? Where as on Playstation Network or (whatever the Wii has) Indie Developers can self publish their content easily. Playstation even encourages this. Microsoft however forces these Indie Devs to enter publishing deals with them to be allowed to market their content. You don’t go through them, you don’t get to sell what you developed.

Source: http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/05/22/indie-devs-cant-self-publish-on-xbox-one

I’m not quite done yet! Now, I’m sure you heard a lot about “TV TV TV TV SPORTS TV TV SPORTS SPORTS TV.” Yes, the Xbox is slated to be able to stream live tv, live sports, etc. So let me ask you this. You obviously already have something like cable or DirecTV. Do you really want to shell out hundreds of dollars more and pay a monthly subscription fee to have another television provider? Yes, I said hundreds of dollars, and I don’t mean the cost of the console. To view live TV from the Xbox you are required to purchase ANOTHER separate device for it to work. Why would you even consider shelling out more money for something you already have anyway? Even if you didn’t, DirecTV is cheaper. Or you could even subscribe you Hulu.com and watch live tv on your computer. FOR MUCH CHEAPER. You essentially have to buy another cable box if you don’t have one. And if you do… what do you need the Xbox One for?

Source: http://www.vg247.com/2013/05/21/xbox-one-live-tv-available-in-us-only-at-launch-requires-separate-device/

So far we’ve discovered that the Xbox One is not really a gaming console, at least… not a consumer friendly gaming console. It’s being marketed as an all-in-one home entertainment system. Something to replace all of the other devices in your house. But there are drawbacks even to that. Put on your tin foil hats for this part folks. Take from it what you will, all I’ll say is… possibilities…

The Xbox One’s features will not function unless the Kinect is plugged in and active. This is not an optional piece anymore.

Source: http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/05/21/xbox-one-will-not-function-without-kinect-attached

So imagine your Kinect piece breaks? Tough luck, no more Xbox for you. But you know what’s worse?

Pay attention, because this is important. The Kinect is always watching. Always listening. Even when the system is off.

Yes. One of the ways to turn the system on is to audibly say: “Xbox On” while the system is off. The Kinect, which is always on, hears you and turns it on. Now this might seem like a cool feature, but did you know Microsoft patented a feature that would allow the Kinect’s camera (It’s no longer just a sensor, but a camera) to spy on you for the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America?) While they may not actually do this, it is actually possible for them to do this now. It has a camera, and a microphone. The Kinect is always on. It is ALWAYS listening, ALWAYS watching.

An idea has been tossed around that by using this feature, it will allows game developers and movie produces to set a limited amount of how many people can be allowed to view the entertainment. So as a hypothetical example, you and three friends are watching a movie, which is the maximum allowed. A fourth friend enters the room and the Kinect’s sensor registers the fourth individual. The movie stops and you a prompted to pay a fee so that the extra individual may also view the film. Again, that is NOT currently the case, but these are the ideas currently being tossed around with the system’s current capabilities.

Source of spying: http://www.extremetech.com/gaming/139706-microsofts-new-kinect-patent-goes-big-brother-will-spy-on-you-for-the-mpaa

Now, just two more things and I’ll be done here!

This isn’t really a good or bad thing, but it’s annoying. It also explains how they can prevent you from playing a used game if you didn’t pay their fee. Xbox one no longer plays games off the discs, you HAVE to install them to the hard-drive in order to play them. I believe PS3 also has you do this (on a number of games but not always it seems), except that PS3 isn’t trying to Nickle and Dime you at every corner. It also seems according to this article there is something related to the Online portion at the beginning of this post. The option is there for Developers to require the Xbox to always be online to play their particular game. Well, it seems PC gamers and console gamers have one thing in common now… DRM.

(At least pirates on PC can bypass DRM easily. Not an option for Consoles.)

Source: http://www.theverge.com/2013/5/21/4352314/xbox-one-hard-drive-game-installs

And last but not least, another annoyance… Xbox One will not be compatible with any and all current headsets. Nope, companies will either have to make new headsets altogether specifically for the Xbox One, and they have to adhere to what Microsoft wants. Look forward to price gouging.

Source: http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/05/22/xbox-one-incompatible-with-current-gaming-headsets

Oh, one more thing… If you have an Xbox 360, don’t get rid of it. Why? Well if you want to keep playing your old 360 games you’ll need it. The Xbox One isn’t backwards compatible. At all. Not only that, but President of Microsoft’s Xbox Division Don Mattrick insults the very notion of backwards compatibility! He calls it: “Backwards thinking.”

Source: http://www.theverge.com/2013/5/21/4350662/new-xbox-has-no-backwards-compatibilty

Source of insult: http://www.polygon.com/2013/5/22/4355984/xbox-one-backward-compatibility-backwards-thinking-don-mattrick

That is all I have to say currently folks, and I hope you took the time to read this far. I’ll conclude with the following… please… PLEASE do not buy this console. Paying for this supports greedy and anti-consumer business practices. Speak with your wallet, and pass up the Xbox One. No matter what games it might have that you want, even if they are exclusive. Do the right thing and make a statement. Refuse to be nickle and dimed like this. Refuse to be seen as a mindless consumer who will buy anything tossed to them.

We won’t know much else until after E3, but as it stands now, the PS4 or a decent gaming PC is the best way to go.

If you are willing to do so, please spread this post around. Liking is not even remotely necessary, but do please share it if you agree with and acknowledge what you’ve read here. The more people know, the fewer of them waste their money.

Thank you, kindly.

He brings up many valid points. Mind you, I haven’t been a fan of Xbox in a long time and I will most likely get a PS4. But this confirms further for me that I won’t be getting an Xbox one any time in the foreseeable future.)
