I am far from amused with a service that I pay for. It’s been over a week now and I am not able to recover my gamer tag. What does that mean? Well not being able to recover my gamer tag means I cannot play any of my saved games or any have any achievements count (yeah big deal). Basically my XBox is rendered useless (I only play games on it). The worst part is that Microsoft has made no attempt to fully explain to its customers why and when Live is going to be working properly again. The support page says that it’s “up and running”, yet when recovering my gamer tag I get “signup to not available”. I guess my biggest question is how can something be so damn broken that it takes over 3 weeks to fix??? Someone really screwed something up really badly over there. I don’t give a rats ass about a free arcade game, I just want my gamer tag back! If Sony can make their online experience more compelling I’d actually start playing my PS3 (got it for free as a gift). XBox gaming is nothing without XBox Live.

Going to bed, call my emergency number if you need me. 1-800-dev-null.

Some people are supposed to die but don’t, then they die anyway.
