Moronic Xbox Live policy

The email that I have attached to this account has long since been dead to me. I was going to make a new MS account to switch quick and painlessly, but for some arbitrary -blam!-ing reason, MS has decided that an MS account needs 30 days before it can be used for a new gamertag. The purpose of this thread is to either take shots in the dark at why such a policy might exist, or just good ol' fashioned bitching about MS. And yes, I tried xbox.com

  • I'm so pissed with Xbox right now. I planned my sleep schedule so that I'd have some down time to just game before work. I was up over 24hrs so this wld work. I wake up, go to play some XB1, bam, update. "Alright, I can wait. Its a slow update but at least they're improving right" My gf JUST got off she says, less 10mins, weird that its making me wait. Meh Yea but its fine. Finally finishes and the homepage doesn't load normally. "Oh boy, its giving me attitude again. Saying can't connect. 'Maybe its our fault, we r working on it' No worries. A pain in the *** but I know if I select sign in, it'll sort itself out" I laugh, truly next gen BS. So I go to sign in. The controller doesn't allow me to select it. Kinect sees me and pops up my gamerpic, signing me in? Nope. Its telling me to sign in with the controller. "WTF I'm trying to! I thought you'd save me kinect" Well, the controller turns off for a split second and then back, allowing me to select sign in. Great! Glad that's over! Error! Ffffffuuuuuu- Maybe its the network? On the homepage its saying its not connected. It sometimes does but connects once I go to it or sign in. I think its a fart smell left behind if the "always online policy BS" Nothing is wrong with network it says once I'm in settings. Open NAT and connected. Great! Let's go hone try again! Glad that's fixed. >goes home 'Not connected! Maybe its our fault lulz' "NO WAY YA THINK!?" BTW, I tried Xbox.com. Apparently the only issue right now could possibly be Netflix. So they're trying to work w them and correct that. Well I'm not using Netflix. My homepage is broken and lying about connection, and wont allow me to sign in. It doesn't even let me select my profile. The screen just fades out now. Wth. Can't sign in offline just local!? So mad. [spoiler]maybe I'll just try BF4 and see if that bypasses it all. First thing that pops up on bf? 'Can't connect to battlepacks' WHAT!? WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN!? I DOBT WANT THAT! multiplayer! 'EA connection lost' F you. [/spoiler] Okay fine. The update broke it. My plans to play some XB1 this morning ruined. Oh well, can't have it all! I'll try to play some crap Skyrim on the 360. Sign in. .... Loading takes forever. Like, if its the internet out, sign in local! Its right there on the console! Why is it taking forever? I remember the 360 days before we played online. 4 friends all together offline days and it worked better! 'Signed in. BUT confirm email and password.' "Oh s*** not this BS again." [spoiler]majority of the time it does this. Have to back out and resign in again. Why? Because it has an old email account listed. Despite I have officially changed it. And EVERY TIME I have had the patience to go through their crap, once I've put the new and current info in and confirmed... It loads and crashes. After doing this for about a year, I don't give a **** anymore.[/spoiler] But this time the confirmation is slightly different! "Oh boy it'll work! Confirm email yadda yadda, enter!" .... 'Failed!' *Signed out* FFFFUUUUU Try signing in again, and will just skip that part so I'll have to sign in on top of signing in. Does the same thing 3 times in a row. Sign in! .... Won't sign in at all now. >Throws controller. First thread on Bungie is this. [spoiler]While I typed my GF got me signed in on the 360.[/spoiler] [u]It's going to be a bad day.[/u]

      Stops people exploiting the 30-day trial. To an extent at least.
