Well im trying to activate the gfs account with an activation code and it tells me this, “Can’t retrieve information from Xbox LIVE. Please try again later.” So i’ve tried once a day for the past 3 weeks. Still nothing. So i called Xbox support, nine(9) times BTW, and they eaither hang up on me or give me the response of, “Oh were doing a major upgrade and you’ll have to call back another time so we can help you better.” Now I actually got to talk to a Supervisor, Finally. Wait, he gives me the same shit. He’s like " you need to go to the place you bought it, get a proof of purchase, you also need to scan the front and the back of your card to ensure that this card is valid and you have bought it. WTF I just gave you the 25 digit code and you wanna tell me that i have to do more shit. Before hand he said its a valid code BTW. After now he is saying that its not a valid code because the store has to scan it and activate it for me. Is there any way I can get through to these idiots at xbox like someone smarter than a fucking brick? P.S. dont ask for the code to see if it works. Im not that stupid. ---

When you buy any kind of gift card at the store,it has to be activated.They scan the UPC and then swipe it through the register. Sounds like the cashier forgot to activate the card…not Microsofts fault. ---

I hated my 360 with a pasion. I’ve never had a problem with any sony products. As to the OP once you play ps3 games, you wont care about ps2 games. I know I didnt. ---
