If you click the cancel on that billing.microsoft.com page, all it does is bring up a help window that tells you to call.

Wow. That page even lets me cancel my xbox live service (apparently) without calling them, which I didn’t think was possible. Which was my next complaint.

This support page actually does point you there:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/819003?sd=xbox

But I could not find that page without already knowing the URL to search for. So, not so useful.

The top secret MS billing page might have helped here. I’ve never used it but people on the internet have said it’s amazingly useful when MS is being obtuse with your card details.

billing.microsoft.com

Even if it does do everything you want, it’s still failing because it seems that *no one* knows about the page, not even the call centre staff.

I found the xbox interface rather clunky when I played with it, and yet people keep telling me this is the most advanced online gaming system available. I just learned that Rock Band for the wii, currently my only new gen gaming system, will be crippled, both for performance reasons and because the wii just isn’t powerful enough.

So, I suppose I need to buy an xbox, but I really don’t want to do so. Both for these reasons as well as the fact I have no HD setup. Heck, I have an appletv sitting in an unopened box for that reason too. (it was a gift)
