Gamer Gone Dog-gone On Dog Dilemma

Archive: 3 posts


Well thanks for baring the cheesy title. So ya, there's a gamer who has a dog. And... well read this:

"Man's best friend? Not when he runs up your credit card.

Meet Oscar, faithful companion of Greg, a reader of top gaming blog Kotaku. As a one year-old Lab/Hound, Oscar has a bit of a chewing problem. Shoes, underwear, blinds, and pillows have all been targets for his gnashers, but when he turned his attention to Greg's Xbox 360 controller one night, an expensive (and immensely unlikely) sequence of events ensued.



As Oscar chomped down on the wireless controller, he successfully turned on the machine, navigated to the Xbox's online store and purchased 5,000 Microsoft Points, at a cost of over $60. That was charged directly to Greg's credit card, as Greg discovered when he woke up."- Yahoo!

Now what are the odds of that? Seriously, who knew a dog can get you a large bill. But Hey, let's not blame the dog much; blame the guy who introduced the dog to games. Which brings us to my verdict.

Verdict
Maybe Oscar wanted to pimp out his avatar. Maybe he wanted to rent "Shaggy Dog", or "Cujo". Who knows? Maybe he even wanted to buy "Call of Duty: World At War" map packs, so he can use the Dog Pack Perk.
