Default Xbox Credit Card?

I thought this was a pretty neat idea... Story taken from 360live.com



Microsoft, in an attempt to reach more gamers has concieved a plan in several European countries, to market Xbox Live Creditcards. Aiming the cards at children who do not have them can apply for a card and get on the live service not having to worry about asking a parent about using their card (if they have one) to get on to the live service. The card who is managed by Visa, will be offering the card as a prepaid service at which Microsoft will only charge a 2% interest. Not bad eh? Keep an eye out for more Euro-Countries to adopt this concept as Microsoft looks to expand and profit before the next-gen is released come November.

360Live.com seems to be an advertising page for me.

This is quite an interesting concept, and I would be interested to know how they get kids to sign up for these "credit cards"

I thought rather than use Credit Cards you simply bought the Live option you wanted from your loacl gaming store/on-line retailer and inputted the code given in the package (please someone correct me if I'm wronge). Check out our news article from the end of August.

I love the idea but I don't know if I will be using it to my advantage.

i like the idea of a credit card for kids that would be cool if it came to the usa....but no more credit card then how are people pay for the live service get more of the cards. So there is no more annual supscription scince there is no credit card for the money to get taken out of.

I had one when I was 14. I had to have both my parents co-sign on it, and my credit limit was 500 -_-. Anyway, thanks to having one so early, and having good credit up tell now, my credit limit is 30,000. I'm only 18, almost 19, right now.


And yes, I'm sure it wasn't just a debit card. Although, I also had one of those.
