It's a pretty bad practice, (if you ask me), from a well known, multi billion dollar company to go back and take away points from people's accounts. (ESPECIALLY since they made the same mistake last year, and apparently didn't fix whatever they were supposed to !) I kinda like to think of it as if you're at a store, and you pick up an item from the shelf based on the price that's marked on it, and then you go to the register and it rings up a higher price. The store should honor the mistake in the customer's favor. OR think of it like the airline "EL AL" who had a glitch on their web site last month, and offered people a fare of $350 on roundtrip flights from New York to Tel Aviv. They honored their mistake. ** If they take all 1600 points back, who do people contact to get the either 400 (from SOA), 240 (from August XBL Rewards promo), OR BOTH amounts put back in their accounts ?! (PUH-LEASE don't say writing the support forum on the xbox website !) Surely there's a phone #.

I think it's such a bad practice of a multi-billion dollar company to be giving away free money. Sure, mistakes happen once in a while, but random points showing up in people's accounts happens all the time. Microsoft is so tight with their points structure and pricing on games, to be giving away points is just moronic and should be unacceptable. I've never heard of PSN crediting people money incorrectly.

I'm happy for all the people who got the free money (I'd spend them in a second if I actually got them) but I just wonder WTF Microsoft is doing for this to happen so frequently...

I'm enjoying Double Dragon: Neon so far. It's a pretty good old school beat 'em up. I like it more than Scott Pilgrim which was supposed to be something similar. I might be bias since I really loved playing it on the NES and in the arcades.

Those with odd achiev scores, play civilization. It has some quickly popping, odd numbered achievs to get your score back on track. I'm not super ocd about my weird score now, but it would be nice to have it back to 5/0.

Still waiting for my SoA Points *sigh* =/

I don't have that problem anymore, I used to, it's a form of OCD. I know people that go absolutely insane over that when it happens, so I figured I'd just give a warning. I stopped caring about GS / achievements when I hit 100k (and that was 64k ago).

umk3 funked up my GS a long time ago. 12's 11's 22's 8's 3's its dumb.

I'm OCD enough that uneven gamerscore bothers me. If I know I will end up getting an even number (ff13-2, viking, divinity, etc.), then it's ok. It's silly, I know, but everyone has something silly about them.

Unrelated to just about everything ever posted in this thread, but I never realized The UnderGarden was only 240 MSP and had achievements. And this is the regular price for it. If anyone knows of any other really cheap games with achievements, please post them and hopefully we'll get a list going. Or if a list has already been posted, please link me to it. I've got some achievin' to do to get my GS up.

By the way, the last time I posted I asked what I should get for 400MSP. I ended up with Raskulls. The multiplayer aspect really sold me on it.

Just go there http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...e_Arcade_games and click the arrows @ the price in Microsoft Points to sort the list.

According to this list, 1 more game is listed for 240 MSP, Sonic & Knuckles.

I found UnderGarden painfully uninteresting.

Raskulls however is fantastic, great choice.

If it's strictly Gamerscore you're after, you're probably better off scouring the used bins at your local Gamestop. You can easily find games for $2.99 (240 MSP) that will boost your score up to five times as much as the average XBLA game.

Glad to hear it. The sword is what I used the most as well, just combine with the bow and arrow to rack up the combos.

Glad to hear you liked Raskulls, it's a really cool game.

Windows Phones are great for achievement hunting, a good amount of games for $0.99 and $2.99 with 200 gamerscore.

I'm regretting not picking up Raskulls actually. I should've known multiplayer would be fun considering how much fun I had in singleplayer.

It's a Halfbrick game, even if I wasn't friends with them I'd still buy everything they make because they make fun stuff. Jetpack Joyride steals hours from my life weekly.

Also remember that Joe Danger 2 will be releasing this Friday

xbox are refusing to give me the msp for the spend 1600 msp promotion.
they keep saying that tony hawk is not purchased but if they bothered to look at my purchase history they would see it there.
and i still have not got the 400 msp either

Was tony hawk purchased using a code by chance?

Just do a print screen of it and post it over there. If you legitimately did buy it from the marketplace, and not redeem it as a code or something, then I don't see how they could deny you.

And at least you're getting support from them...I haven't heard from them in almost a week.
