Xbox 360 Offers Indian Credit Card

Posted by Stephen Johnson - Wednesday, June 11, 2008 1:30 PM

The Xbox 360 credit card to the right can be used to purchase goods and services all across the country of India. Along with the curried lamb you'd expect, you can also get 360-related bargains, like discounts on games and peripherals, including 10% off controllers and other sweet deals.

We're booking a flight to India right now, where we plan to live for many years as swamis. We'll play Gears of War 2 while dispensing the mystical wisdom of the mysterious East to trust-fund-hippies.

I know its not related to the headline but, is the playstation card out yet?

The prepaid one? No. Just buy a prepaid credit card, or use your real one to buy stuff on the PSU store dude. Pain is awesome.

So a post about a credit card used in India, beats out MGS4? Wtf is this world coming too.... The reason the card is for india is because thats where some of Lives tech support is to its ez Identification. God I hate it when my friends live is screwed, we gotta waffle thru India accents to figure out wtf is going wrong :( (This is just speculation on my part as to the true reason for a Credit card only used in india) Honestly I see no point to making a credit card limited to only India.

Would you like a slurpy with that?

This doesn't make sense, Didn't Microsoft pull the 360 out of India. G4 had posted that story about a month ago right here in the feed.

MS was going to stop selling 360's in India cause it was not selling well and they didn't want to deal with the RROD issues there.

@Vergilsnake

What a waste. 360 is clearly the lowest of the 3 consoles, hardly worth including them in this generation. This will help nothing.

i think he meant Indiana Jones

Lol, look at DPsx7's pathetic attemt to strike a flame.

Posted by DPsx7 - Wednesday, June 11, 2008 9:35 PM

Nah, it's the truth. When you have to stoop this low for a couple sales then it's very clear you're in trouble. Ask anyone, the 360 is a console for either kids, or poor idiots who can't afford a real console or PC. Everything except the fanboys show the 360 is on it's way out, but they've never had a clue anyway.

@DPsx7
chill man. the ps3 is affordable now.

Posted by TheDoctorWc3 - Wednesday, June 11, 2008 11:01 PM

@DPsx7
I own a ps3, I've owned mine since launch day. sadly, thats not to say the ps3 is without faults, like that accursed problem with the 60g's and their blu-ray drives messing up..... and HOME thats been delayed what, 6 times? Its starting to turn into the next Duke Nukem..... Frankly, if I didnt know I would void the warranty on a 360 the first week, I'd have traded it in for a 360

Posted by disturbedemon - Thursday, June 12, 2008 2:39 AM

lmfao @ 360 a console for kids ??

man get the hell out....thats the wii with its mario garbage

360 was an still is the best all around system of this gen...go do some reading

and now that 360 is getting some good rpg support (star ocean 4) it looks even better to rpg gamers like me

ps3 has been more less worthless thus far...i know ppl who own one an never play it an it just collects dust

go check the poll on gamefaqs....50% and more have voted in saying mgs4 ISN"T worth getting a crappy ps3 for...yet another blow to ps3 owners

mgs4 is crap anyway...but i just wanted to throw that in lool

ps3 = the current dreamcast

but theres no need to cry about it....

haha

another reason to go into debt. microsoft just wants more money thats all, and who doesnt. but my real problem is why do the ps3 fanboys really care. is it that important that a piece of plastic says ps3 on it. hint there aleady is one and its called the system itself. but then again you did buy a ps3 so you wouldnt know what it looks like because there is no games for it to play. one love420

Posted by DPsx7 - Thursday, June 12, 2008 6:32 AM

Lol, even the Wii is superior to the 360 as far as games go. Nobody can name a single good game on 360 that isn't a shoddy port from a better system. Not one, they're all crappy kids games. PS3 is doing fine but yeah they could get games out faster. Thankfully I got a lot of PS2 games left to finish. Who cares about Home anyway, it's not a game and that kind of non-gaming garbage belongs on 360 with the rest of the senseless BS it offers.

Face it, there isn't one fact of proof to show 360 has done anything but fail. Fanboys invent it to show off but all real gamers know the truth. That's why 360 owners are jealous and rag on the PS3 and Wii. They wish they had better hardware and a real library of games. Too bad they waste all their money to play online and get their toy repaired...

why india?? tell you why microsoft will make more money outsourceing there work then having americans make it. ever watch that episode from simpsons where homer goes to india

Posted by trkydk - Thursday, June 12, 2008 9:04 AM

so while ps3 is having articles about upcoming games getting released the xbox hhas to put this out so they are remembere. i thought they are supposed to be selling games not credit cards comeon. isnt the majority of 360 players kids anyway

Posted by blakseed - Thursday, June 12, 2008 10:32 AM

I just want a plastic card to buy online games.

Posted by slipknot2134z - Thursday, June 12, 2008 11:45 AM

@ DPsx7 the xbox 360 is far from kiddie. last time i looked halo 3 , gears of war, doa 4, crackdown, dead rising, mass effect, ninja gaiden 2, ace combat 6, lost odyssey, frontlines were all rated T or M. If any system has way too many kid games its the Wii. Besides all three consoles have kid games on them.

Posted by trkydk - Thursday, June 12, 2008 12:22 PM

halo is a kids fps. there is no blood going anywhere or swearing. only thing that makes it not a kids game is the fact that the older guys playing and getting killed are cursing into mics making that unsutable for the youngens. but last time my friends were playing i heared more kids cursing then the guys.
