XBL Diamond Card Teh Pwned

Thursday, April 6th, 2006

While reading the news today I came across something pretty funny and shocking, It seems that the Xbox Live Diamond cards have a typo on them, instead of saying “Valid Thru” on the Xbox Live Diamond Cards it says “Valid Trhu” and while I recieved my Xbox Live Diamond card last week I failed to notice this glaring typo right in front of my very own eyes!

Quote From joystiq.com:

XBL Diamond Card

Xbox 360: $400

Lots of peripherals and some games: $300

Xbox Live service: $50 per year

Whipping out your Xbox Live Diamond Card on a hot date (”I got it babe. I get a discount on full meal deals on Tuesdays!”) only to have the McDonald’s employee behind the counter point out a typo? Priceless.

It’s no big problem to me really as I will probably never use the card, but it makes you wonder who’s gonna get the chop from the Microsoft payroll. Ouch!
