    My disappointments lie elsewhere than Destiny, I actually love the game but here is my issue.

    I pre-ordered the game off Gamestop for a Digital download on my Xbox 360. I later received an email regarding my order and got I code that I redeemed onto my Xbox which in turn deposited $60 into my Microsoft account. Now, I've been itching to play this
    game for a long time and of course was going to download it at midnight. Here I am an hour past midnight with nothing available on the marketplace. I then hear it won't be available until 1pm the next day BUT it is available on their website to download straight
    to your Xbox! So I go to the website and I can't use my microsoft money thats in my account....... So let me get this straight, I get spend $60 to my microsoft account to be told at midnight that I can't download it and you are only giving me an option is
    to buy it off the website which forces you to use your credit card information? Absolutely not.

    My main issue here could have been avoided if I or anyone knew when the the download would have been available. Obviously, most people would think midnight but once again, for reasons I am unaware, we were not told any specific times by Microsoft. Being
    the biggest game of 2014 I would expect this to be handled differently but I have learned my lesson about digital purchases which I will never take part in again.

    :)

    While I do feel that a day or two of launch problems are acceptable. My big issue with the game is the 800 point cost if you didn't buy the game. I live in a household with 2 other people and all of us use the xbox to play, and all of us want to play on
    our own accounts but now we have to play on just one, which means we are loosing out on playing with some of our friends. Now I do intend to get a copy, but I have to wait for my next paycheck so I can clear rent, but that is still unacceptable, as i cannot
    play with all my friends untill I shell out points for something I am going to get eventually.

    I understand why EA chose to do this, but I feel it is a shady business tactic. That is something that should have been made clear before launch (oh wait that would irritate the people they are selling their game to and they might not make as much a profit
    as they would like) This is just EA's way of collecting money for people who want to rent/ try the multiplayer before they shell out the money,( even though they already made their money on that copy that is being rented, and because only one person can play
    that copy...it isn't taxing their servers!!!) especially after the beta was as buggy as it was. As EA is the giant it is, I don't think they are hurting for the money that much. I understand giving people the map pack and charging for that, if they didn't
    buy the game, but to just play, that is seriously shady and they should be ashamed, but they are EA and as much as we hate it, they will not change, and we will give them our money and just bend over and take it.

    Just my little rant about a game I like from EA, a company I despise with a passion.

    Question - Did the website only give you the option to use your previously saved credit card for payment or did it ask you to enter credit card info because you don't have a stored one?

    If it is the later and you don't mind enter cc info you should be able to use your Live credit after putting in cc info, the site likes to harass people for credit card info but the last time I went on there it let me use my credit, that might have been
    because I was getting an Xbox One game tho, I'm not sure. Also check before I don't it always takes that long for the console store to update but I may be wrong.

    I've only had issues with matchmaking once since launch, played a good 6hrs on multiplayer without any problems. and the one time it did drop i had serious lag issues due to roommates. otherwise. I think this first week is the same as every games first week,
    a time to have the fans find any problems and get the devs to fix them accordingly. have faith, i am sure that things will get patched up soon

    To be honest, I was happy just to get into 3-4 games. With most BF games, it takes a week to play multiplayer...LOL

    [/quote]thats true....I was able to play online last night..took some doing, but got it to work.....besides, I'm a patient guy

    -

    having said that I can wait for 'em to work properly, does not mean we should have to....I'm not dissing on the game or the developers really, I'm more addressing the attitude of just letting it slide...and not with just video games either....as consumers
    in general, we should be demanding to get what we pay for in every aspect of our lives

    20 years ago, you walk into a fast food place, and the staff was polite and courteous, you got your food which was usually done right and you ate....these days, walk into the same fast food chain.....cashier gives you a dirty look because you made her put
    away her iphone for a few seconds to take your order....which you find out was screwed up but only after she damn near pitched your bag of slop at you...same thing with customer service in general almost anywhere you go...it's as if people just stopped expecting
    good service, and just accept whatever they're given.....customer service people (XBL, Verizon, Dish Network, credit cards, etc etc etc) hate me, because when I'm dealing with customer service...I'm expecting service, especially if I'm paying for it.....my
    company is very service oriented, and I demand that those who work for me do the best they can.....do a good job and people will tell their friends, do a bad job and they'll tell everyone they encounter

    -

    bottom line, I believe people should be not just expecting, but demanding better service for
    anything they pay for....those who provide those service need to take more pride albeit earned pride though

    [/quote] on that same token, people now a days will whine and moan and sue you over anything. what happened to just accepting that things are not always perfect...even the things you paid for? I suppose because of shady deals and some companies really ***
    over consumers...we all got jaded and started "demanding" perfection which led to the "extended warranty" scams. Now everything has to be perfect or the customer sues you...ugh...it's dumb...If I un-do the harness while on a rollercoaster and fall out, breaking
    my neck....do I sue the amusement park for making it too easy for me to be an idiot??

    I just think folks are losing the thick skin we used to have before sunlight was bad and seatbelts and motorcycle helmets were dictated by law. I say, you wanna ride without a seatbelt...go ahead...the strong survive.

    Why is everything with you one extreme or another? It's like, I'm almost with you and then you go one unnecessary step too far!

    "What happened to accepting that things are not always perfect?" I'm with you...

    "Now everything has to be perfect or someone SUES YOU??" You lost me.

    You go off on these completely unrelated and undefendable side-missions where you basically prove with your own words that you've missed the point of our conversation completely. We're not talking about lawsuits here. We're talking about businesses DOING
    what they SAY. It's called accountability, and it's a word that most people do not get the meaning of. We have the right to complain about a product not working as advertised, especially when the fix is incredibly simple. If you don't want to hear people
    complain, I would advise staying away from MESSAGE BOARDS! That's like going to the ocean and complaining that you hate "getting all wet and sandy."
