It's called pretexting. As in, getting information by using a pretext. Putting a hyphen in turns it into pre-texting, which would presumably be something you do before sending an SMS message.

ummm...no?

Bungie is entitled to give whatever they want to whoever they want, and I think they've been pretty fair.

No. Ya'll only payed for the Game and everything on the Disc. What Bungie or Microsoft decides to give you and the cost of the content you aquire is entirely up to them.

Suck it Up.

You paid for the game as-is. Anything extra is not what you willingly paid money for. Stop acting entitled and be realistic. You paid for what you got and anything extra, I repeat extra, can and should be charged for

I do get the feeling that companies are deliberately not putting stuff on the disc so they can sell it to you at a later date. Crackdown is a prime example of that.

I just wait for the stuff to become free, but not all of it does. I paid £35+ for the game. I am not going to pay any more than that. If the stuff becomes free it is a bonus, but I do feel that stuff is left out just to make a few bones.

Sucks for him, but - if you believe what someone you met online tells you, then... it's your own fault.

There's only one rule on the Intertubez:
#1: Don't give *anyone* *any* *personal* information. E V A R.

I've had FOUR people try this pretexting shit on me while playing various games, and a couple of them tried the 'I'm from IW, we want you to beta test a new feature' angle or 'I'm from MS/Bungie, your account is causing latency problems on the server, let us fix it' trick. Universally I tell them to take a flying leap and I file a complaint on them via XBL.

No one from *any* company will use XBL to communicate with you that you've won something, or that they want you to be their extra special buddy buddy test dude on a super secret game that only you will have access to... cmon kids... you're smarter than this. At least I hope you all are...

well reading more from this, the hacker got the information from calling Ms, and the real shit is, the hacker is going on the forum, and literaly bragging about how he stole the account. He then goes on to say "you have no proof" after they tracked his IP, Myspace, and got messages from him bragging. How stupid people can be....I hope he get's his account back! I'll contact everyone I know! Good luck Sky

So because he has special armour and gets hacked he deserves more exposure? I'd rather see something about this type of hacking in general, instead of a story about someone with a flaming helmet getting hacked...

I get where your saying. I mean I got hacked, and tried to contact everyone, and nothing, but sense this guy has some recon, and alot of internet pals he gets coverage:( *sniff**sniff* But I could care less now. I want sky to get his account back, and I want the hacker to get in some serious trouble. I mean what kind of people sit down, and say"I'm gonna hack for the hell of it"....

Be funny if this was all because he gave his info out to someone so they could glitch an achievement like seriously in GOW and they just didn't want to give it back.

When I was at school, my Computing teacher told us about a kid called Wolf who was some kind of computer genius, who could hack anything. He actually hacked into the school one day, with the schools permission, to see if he could.

What this guy did isn't hacking, I could do it and I guess anyone with a phone and the balls to ring MS could to.
I hate that because people are jealous they decide to deprive others, it shows us what a state the world is in when the "If I can't have it no-one can" mentally is applauded by tw*ts on forums.

He said that there was a match a few weeks ago where he died right after shooting some barrels, and he had no idea why. Didn't go back to check though and he hadn't ever heard of the guy who that had already happened to (he doesn't go online much.) We noticed it on his stats page a few days ago and I showed him the video...had a good laugh! :-)
