So, I was watching tv and decided to turn my 360 on and start up a game, but I was too lazy to switch to the tv input my xbox was using, so I just pressed the buttons on my controller that I thought would get the game started and loaded up...

But when I switched from the TV to my Xbox 360 input, I saw that I actually ended up in the avatar marketplace and... I accidentally added 5,000 microsoft points to my account v_v

I now have no money to feed my family! Can I sue Microsoft?

You can't sue them for something you did by accident.

Ok well if I spend some of the points, can I still get a refund since it was an accident?

Everyone's calling you an idiot, but it sounds like you make somewhat honest mistake, but something tells me this a sarcasm thread.

I'm sure it is... I remember this exact thread a few months ago although I think in the original thread that the OP was being serious, at least about pressing lots of buttons and purchasing Microsoft Points.

There is no way this topic is real. Why would you hit the "A" button 8 or so times to start a game? Please try to make the stories believable.

seems pretty unrealistic... I mean you can't add 5.000 MS points to your account by pressing the buttons you normally use for loading up a game. ;) anyway, still funny when you think about it.

lawlasauris, suing Microsoft would cost more money than buying the MCpoints by "accident". Also if you only have 60 bucks to feed your "family" I think you should be looking for a new job/or just a job in general plus move into your parents house where its free food.

Nice, lol. At least this thread makes people laugh. I love that the difference in feeding his family or not feeding them is the equivalent of 5,000MS points....not the amount it costs to pay for the internet, or an XBL account. How much do you really love your "family"? :lol:

This is obviously a joke. There is no way somone could purchase that many points by accident. And second if they can afford a 360 then I doubt that losing $60 is gonna starve them. Even if it wasn't a joke MS clearly states there are no refunds so they'd have no case at all.

All you had in your credit card was 50 bucks? I suggest you sell that xbox and buy food for your family. Alternatively, you may try feeding them the xbox directly.
