I don't know how many of you took Microsoft up on thier offer of getting a Xbox live diamond retail discount card for free simply for being a member of xbox live gold. I know I did thinking hey if it saves me a little money on something then it is worth it right? Wrong! After doing some research I found out that even if the retail store is listed they will look at you like you grew a third eye and your pants are unzipped when you present the diamond card for your discount. Also to add salt to the already emberassing wound is the fact that soon thier will be a charge of 7 dollars a year to keep the xbox live diamond card active! Just thought everyone would be interested. So in case you like being really emberassed or are just a glutton for punishment don't take your wife or girlfriend to a movie and show the xbox live diamond card at the ticket booth and expect to get a discount. You have been warned! _________________________________________________________
I knew they had xbox diamond cards but didn't think they actually did anything, I find it funny how amazon linked the glutton for punishment _________________________________________________________

Okay well xbox.com came out with the diamond card for everyone that has a gold xbox live membership as thier way to say thanks for spending the extra money to upgrade to gold. Anyhow the diamond card was supposed to allow you to get discounts at certain retailers nationwide on everything from games to fast food and other food establishments. Also they were supposed to be good at all movie theatres for discounts on movie tickets. They even went so far to say they would also get you discounts at all major theme parks on tickets. Well xbox magazine the official magazine for Microsoft just came out with a report that even if the card is presented at a retailer that is in the list they will not honor it. And to make it worse Microsoft is going to start charging 7 dollars a year for you to have this diamond card unless you cancel it. It just really makes me mad when someone tells you they are going to do something and they don't. Just another example of Microsoft falling back on thier word. Whoever is handling the day to day operations for Microsoft really needs to man up and make this right. _________________________________________________________
