Microsoft aren't scared of admitting their mistakes.

@JayeM - "Microsoft aren't scared of admitting their mistakes."

Good job really, they seem to make one every week. Or so it seems.

I got an e-mail about this, but I only added 1000 points, I can't have been overcharged. But if they want to give me 500 points, I'll let them :)

I got the email, but I wasn't over charged. I wonder if I'll get 500 free points too...

I've also received the email, even though I'm fairly sure I wasn't overcharged either. However, I did have quite a lot of points in my account at the time so I'm a little embarrassed to admit I might not have realised if I was.

i bought the game at launch, i feel like a victim deserving of at least 400 points back.

They emailed me, and like others I can't remember being overcharged, so I'm either lucky or stupid!

And secondly...why do people care about getting "first" posts?

I'm pretty sure I wasn't overcharged, and thought the whole thing was a scam, especially because the email doesn't refer to me by my gamertag like all other Live-related emails (like, for example, when I bought the points).

And now, live from his castle made of gold on the moon, starving developer Jonathan Blow to condemn Microsoft for their latest disgrace.

@metalangel

If it is a scam, it's a pretty rubbish one, as it doesn't ask you to do anything or provide any information.

I dunno, maybe they expect people to email back saying 'what? I didn't lose any extra points?'

Fairly certain I wasn't overcharged either - but I got the mail too.

Hummm...

In other EG news, take a look at the Wolverine banner ad at the top of the screen. Can anyone else spot the glaring spelling error?

I feel 1200 was an overcharge anyway, do I get a refund?

I wish I could get a refund on the whole 1200pt game.

i have to admit, i also received the e-mai land it does look like the types of "scam phishing e-mails" that you generally get all the time.
though it doesnt ask for any details.

but i dont think i was overcharged, but i'm not complaining if m$ want to give me some points, makes up for when i paid full price for Rainbow Six Vegas maps and GRAW 1 and 2 maps before they became free

At 800 points i might have been happier with buying this. I bought it when it came out and was frankly disappointed with it. But then i never really liked platformers anyway, and just got it to see what the hype was about.

This is one of the cleverest games I've seen in a while; really made me work to complete it!
