So fellow Skag botherers is everyone one for tomorrow?

I'll be on from around 8 to do a bit of shopping so I should be all set by
the time we all get there.

I may or may not have an account tomorrow, some kind soul just bought a
load of FIFA stuff using all my bloody points so I need to place a phone
call in the morning.

I'd assume the worst, and that'll be the case for at least the next
month. Sorry. Bit annoying, because undoubtedly no bugger will be
playing it by the time I'm back and I've only got a handful of
gamerscore on it. I hate that.

Oh, that's a bugger. Do let us know how it goes. MS appear to have been
playing the 'it's nothing to do with us, but we are being nice' game over
the issue.

Bugger indeed. Hope you get it sorted out swiftly.

John, Tim should we break for Christmas now and try again in the New Year?

Nah, I'll still be playing for a while, since there will invariably be a
couple of weeks when I'm overseas with work and so will get behind.

I hope the account gets sorted out quickly though. This whole FIFA
micropayment thing is a huge cock-up by EA, and it's made worse by the fact
there's a lot they could do to fight it. Not least getting eBay to ban the
sales of the points.

That makes sense to me. Tonight is looking like a push anyway - and I've
got to wrap presents some time.

Bad news dude, everytime I have heard of this being sorted, your account
is locked out for 3 weeks.

I hadn't realise this was prolific enough that there were realistic
odds know someone who got stung. I have a credit card on my XBL
account and I've tied it to EA. My EA password is.. not as strong as
it could be!

Obviously the circles we are in make it more likely, but you are the 4th
person I know who has had this happen.

I don't have a credit card on my Live account, so it shouldn't be too
bad if it happens to me, but the 3 weeks it takes to get unlocked is
annoying. Just my luck it will happen over xmas!

IIRC, if you have a credit card on your live account, you can't delete
it until your gold runs out, which is just great...
