Well the article said she was having trouble getting it removed, before she complained. Which to be fair as you say should be one phone call saying I want to removed my details, thank you goodbye.

She could of just set up parental controk if she wanted to stop him buying things! But given his list of games I don't think she has any parental control

Could be a step forward for retail not a bad idea for trade in offers, although feels a bit late.
Game to offer DLC and XBLA games instore.

http://www.mcvuk.com/news/42944/GAME-starts-selling-Xbox-DLC-in-store

"Partnership with Microsoft looks to bridge the digital retail divide in the UK."

Leading UK games retailer GAME has announced a new agreement with Microsoft that will see the retailer selling digital Xbox 360 content in-store, MCV can reveal.

The hope is that millions of customers who don't have access to credit cards or have limited online functionality will now have an avenue to purchase content that until now has been unavailable to them.

Customers will obtain a card on which a DLC code will be printed.

The range will include stand alone Xbox Live arcade titles and additional DLC for retail games. As of yesterday, 40 GAME stores are already offering the range as part of a six month trial with Microsoft.

Further stores and additional content will be added to the trial as it progresses. All content will be classified by PEGI as per normal retail games."

Anybodys GAME store have the cards yet? Spotted them?

The obvious comment when I saw this a little while back is that a lot of it is more expensive than buying points to obtain them. Some of it is cheaper though...

[moonwhistle]

I really hope Game don't sell all the DLC packaged in those utterly uselss and wasteful DVD cases that Live points come in. I suspect they will though. Intangible stuff like this should be sold like mobile phone credit, just a reicept with a serial number.

[kernow]

PSN 'cards' are sold like that in Japan, just a receipt.

[Family Fry]

All the live points I have bought recently have been like a recycled card packaging, lot better but maybe do it quicker next time than wasting shed loads of plastic.
If it prints on receipt that would be ideal. We shall see soon enough.
