Hey has anyone recently tried taking advantage of the gold deal on the dashboard; 3 months for $12.49 + 800 points? I wanted to renew my gold so I tried getting this deal but when I click on it, it says Xbox live can't retrieve information yet when my roommate tried it, it worked fine. Is this a LIVE issue or is there an issue with my account?
I remember Junior and Adrian tryed the promo with this over the summer and they had nothing but issues with it too, it kept fuckin up either of their accounts then was like reverting back and saying Adrian had silver again and such and I think they cancelled it out after bitching out MS about it...
Adrian, what say you?

Taps and a 21 gun salute for Butch who was killed in battle in Vault 87 after serving valiantly as my side kick for about 6 or 7 quests. I thought about reloading my most recent save but said fuck it, it was too far back.

I doubt I will or would ever try to take part in any deal like that from Micro$oft. Not after all that crap I read when the Evol's did it. Let us know how it turns out for you in the end.
Well ours was the family gold pack, but yeah... it sucks. I'd totally do the 2 mos for $12.49 thing and get points (Meta- TORCHLIGHT) but I'm a kid, and can't access my Daddy's credit card in my name.
Seriously, though, when Evol and I bought the family gold pack we had to buy it through his account, because my account was doing the same thing yours is doing with this deal, but his worked fine. I think it just fucked with mine so the MAN had the "adult" account, and was controlling the money.
No matter how many times I tried, it wouldn't let me buy it, kept saying it couldn't retrieve the info from XBL. So while the problem is most likely with XBL, it may have some kind of trigger with your account that just won't ever let it work.
We should go bitch about it on the xbox.com forums. Then we can get someone who isn't affiliated or employeed with xbox to give us sound advice and make us feel all better.
FYI, you can always find live memberships on amazon or eby for cheap. I recently picked up a 1 year for $35 off of ebay.

I tried to do the 3 months + 800 points thing but I also got the "can't retrieve information from Xbox Live" thing. Fucking frustrating!
I was in such a hurry to get back in to the Gears 3 beta that I bit the bullet and paid $10 on the website for a month of gold. Now I'm stupid AND angry!

That sounds like a great deal though. But hearing all this makes me not want to do it. And I'm not sure I want my card info with Microsoft.....

Random Thought - WTF?? The kids + I were at the fairgrounds yesterday (it was the local Strawberry Festival) and walking around the outside perimeter were a bunch of religious zealots. They were proclaiming that "The end of the world is here - MAY 21!!!" Signs, sandwich boards + t-shirts - the whole lot of them. What is wrong with these idiots?? They are going to look like a bunch of dopes when the date comes + goes.

Tell me about it. My brother in law goes to ISU in Ames, IA, and they actually put up a billboard 2 weeks ago about it. Itks just an attempt to get people to join the church.

I love people like that. They are so easy to troll.
The worst part is.... After May 21st. They're still going to be religious zealots. You should find them on May 22nd and start ROFL'ing.... literally.

I really hope Gamefly receives Medal of Honor today or tomorrow, so hopefully I can get Brink sent to me on its release day...
