Microsoft Xbox 360

WOAHWOAHWOAHWOAHWOAH.

I'm still having Xbox Live issues, I can't get into FIFA because of the "Xbox Live membership limitation" message and every game of CoD4 quits out after five minutes. BUT, I've just noticed that when I switch my console on, you know the advert that says which games are out this week?

Well mine's just appeared and it says...

NEUE GAMES
DIESE WOCHE NEU
Dancing Stage Universe

:|

Is this because my gamertag has "Bauer" in it, or are they taking the piss? I'm registered as living in the UK.

They have totally fucked Xbox Live up after this update.

Yea, I saw the Das Dancing Megamixenhausen this morning...
 
Look on the music video downloads - if there is alot of David HassleHoff, then you have a problem :)
 
Just got off the phone with Microsoft again, the funky beer advert music is really starting to grate.

$$: Hello can I take your name please?
Me: Chris Davies.
$$: Can I call you Chris or should I call you Mr. Davies?
Me: ...Chris.
$$: Thank you very much!
Me: ...You're welcome.
$$: So what can I help you with today "Chris"? :D [I'm imagining that was the look on his face]
Me: When I try to play FIFA 08 online I get an error message saying that I have an Xbox Live limitation that prevents me from playing online. But I have a gold account that doesn't expire for four months.
$$: Diva Hat? What is that?
Me: No, FIFA 08, F-I-F-A 0-8.
$$: What is that?
Me: ... [Lost for words]
$$: Is that a game?
Me: Yes, it's a football game, a soccer game.
$$: Wait, hold on...
Me: Okay.
$$: ...
Me: ...
$$: ...so this is an Xbox Live problem?
Me: Yes. All the other games work fine but EA are saying it's your servers that are causing this.
$$: EA? The games company?
Me: [Thinking "NO, THE FUCKING FAST FOOD RESTAURANT"] Yeah.
$$: ...so it is definitely an Xbox Live problem?
Me: ...You tell me.
$$: I'm sorry?
Me: YES, it is an Xbox Live problem.
$$: Okay can I take your name?
Me: CHRIS DAVIES.
$$: What is your Xbox Live gamertag?
Me: [Gamertag here.]
$$: What is your phone number?
Me: [insert phone number here]
$$: That does not match the number on your gamertag sir.
Me: What? Are you asking for a home number or a mobile number?
$$: I cannot tell you that sir.
Me: You can't ask me what you're looking for?
$$: It's a security question sir. [D'oh]
Me: Well if it's not [this number] it's [this number].
$$: Can I have your address please?
Me: [Gives address]
$$: Okay sir, I can confirm that your Xbox Live account is fine, excuse me one moment.
Me: Okay.

[EIGHT MINUTES LATER]

$$: Thank you for being so patient.
Me: ...
$$: This is an EA limitation, not an Xbox Live limitation.
Me: Well I do think it's their fault but in fairness it does say "Xbox Live limitation".
$$: They are stopping the online leagues portion of their title.
Me: ...Excuse me?
$$: They are stopping the online leagues portion of their title. You will have to ask them why they are doing this.
Me: You mean just for me or altogether?
$$: Altogether. [I don't think he actually knew what the word meant]
Me: So they are cancelling the online leagues section of the game?
$$: Yes sir. Perhaps if you ring them they will help you be... No longer limited.
Me: Right, okay, thanks, bye. [Had enough now]
$$: I have a reference number here, do you have a pen and paper?
Me: [Thinking "if I had a pen and paper I would shove the pen up your arse and paper-cut your eyes until you died"] Yeah.
$$: Your reference number is [wasn't listening].
Me: Thank you, bye.
$$: Is there anything else I can help you with?
Me: I doubt it.

I've tried looking up an EA SPORTS UK tech support number but I'm not having much luck. I'm sending them an email through the support site and seeing if that leads anywhere, if I don't get a response within 24hrs then I will spend all day trying to find the number and I will go up the fucking wall with them.
 
Ha sounds like you had fun then JB? I seriously doubt EA are stopping the leagues.. more like doing some work on their servers and thats why some of you guys are having problems. I had this issue years ago when I tried to play FIFA 2005 on my PS2... kept telling me I couldnt log in to play!
 
Obviously it's complete bullshit when everyone else can access them. He just wanted to get me off the phone because he had no idea why a grown man would be playing a game about Diva's Hats.
 
JB. I have tried to phone EA for you but they asked for loads of details like email address and your name etc... You could try this number. 0870 243 2435 mate. They didnt seem to know what Error Message I was on about either when I asked them. I did tell them though that MS Said your live account was fine and there were no Limitations on it
 
Once again, cheers. Looks like I will have to ring them myself, but I've sent them an email which they swear "will be replied to within 24hrs" so I'm going to wait and see what that brings first. If I rang them today after that MS conversation I'd just make death threats every time I said "Xbox Live" and they said "techbox jive, what is that?"
 
People in the service industry really have no fucking idea what they're doing. When I went to get Mass Effect 2 weeks ago in PC World, I asked the guy to look it up to see if they had it in stock, he typed it in and nothing came up, so he goes to the Business Centre (for some reason) and actually goes onto the PC world website to see if they have it. I then realise he's looking in the console section on the site and say "Mate you're in consoles there not games". So he replies "what.. you want the Mass Effect xbox right". Turns out he thought Mass Effect was a type of Xbox, in his words "like the Elite". What a fucking plank. In the end after saying "oh my days" about 50 times, he took about half an hour (no joke) to go to the stock room and come out with one copy when I asked for 2 (one for my mate). So back he goes for another half an hour and again comes back with just the one copy.

Also last week I went to Currys to look for an A3 printer so I asked them if they had any to which I got the reply, "No sorry sir we don't have A3, we only have HP and Lexmark" .....
