I've had a 360 since 2006 and loved it. Never bought so many games for a console before. I listen to Major Nelson and his podcast, needless to say I was a MS defender.

Then I decided that I wanted to play some games online so I upgraded my silver sccount to gold for one month. BIG MISTAKE! I've done it before using pre paid cards, but this time it was through XBOX Live and now there is no way to cancel short of calling them (only during business hours) and wait in line for 30min to cancel it and I've read stories from some people that they canceled the entire account instead of reverting to silver aking you loose all your points and stuff.

Some might say that it's common practise, but I've been subscribing to gamespot and other online websites over the years and all of them had an easy way to cancel online. I mean even porn sites are easy to unsubscribe to compared to this.

I know this is old news for most of you and many will probably defend M$, but I can't anymore. They are supposed to be about choices right? That's what they say on press conferences. Well then Mr. Microsoft TEAR DOWN THIS WALL...um I mean LET ME CANCEL MY SUBSCRIPTION!

I suggest to anyone who is only planning on using gold every now and then to buy pre-paid cards instead. If you don't want them to take $10 every month (yes that's what it costs where I live i.e not in the US)

Do you feel like you are wasting time in school or at work when you could be home grinding your World in Warcraft character? If so, check out the new wireless grinder released today by MadDogz. The grinder is easily synched with your character and then as long as you are connected to a wireless internet spot you can grind from anywhere! The grinding is extremely easy and addictive. The thing looks and works like a coffee bean grinder except instead of making coffee it gives you experience. The experience can be seen on a small LCD display. The grinder has several settings, for example easy mode will make the grinding very easy but you also gain less XP while insane mode will give you a 10x bonus to XP gain however make the grinding so heavy you need to be superman to grind.

MadDogz believs the product will be a huge succes and already have several new grinders on the way. The first is called "guild edition" where up to 40 people can grind at the same time, the other which many believe will be the most popular version is an auto-grinder, simply push a button and the grinder grinds for you at a slow pace. Critics say the auto-grinder is cheating, but others claim that some games already have that feuture like ADAM Online the MMO space game made by ZZP is the most obvious example.

CN Soft announced a new MMORPG today called Boobs Online, a free to play micro transaction game. Unlike most MMORPG's people will start out as lvl 99 characters with a huge set of epic gear. As the player spends more time playing the game, and money at the shop, their characters will start to loose their gear and levels thus making them wear less and less until finally they are lvl 1, naked and completely helpless.

The game uses a new take on combat and insetad of killing hordes of monsters, the goal is to get attacked by a varity of different fiends. Giant tentacle monsters have been confirmed as well as various forms of banana like creatures.

The game is unlikely to ever be released outside Asia but TinyBomb will have a quick look of the game as soon as the beta starts.
