Microsoft customer support is officially stupid

Okay, so I found a glitch on Xbox Live which allows users to download the new Halo 2 maps which should cost $4, for free. I won't tell how, but I wrote to MS to let them know that I found it. I clearly explained in the message that I found a way to download the maps without paying, and they sent me back some generic response. I emailed them again and I even said, "YOU'RE LOSING MONEY FROM THIS!" and I got another generic response. Check this out, it's actually kinda funny what they wrote back.....I even emailed Bungie and Certain Affinity. I am a loyal fan of these games and I don't want to see them (mainly Certain Affinity) lose money for maps that they produced, they're only $4 anyway.

Hilarious. It would seem that "Arnold, Xbox Customer Care Team" is nothing more than a 'bot.

Dude... that's too funny. I made it a news item and submitted it to Digg for now. I'm putting it out on our distro list when I get home.

I hope someone important from MS discovers this and is embarrassed about the extent which they ignore their customers.....even when they're trying to help them save money. (lol thats ironic, customers helping ms to save money!)
