Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.

Um, whenever your mom gets home. That split-second tell her to tell you her credit card number.Also, if you haven't noticed..Things are getting more complicated as technology gets further on. So nothing will be simpler;(

they do that credit card thing so they can get money, remember you have to pay to play on xbox live. would be great if it was free.

Yopu already buy your XboxLive in a box, they only need your credit number for downloads.

I actually found it through my mom's Amazon account, which I know the password for. So I just pressed in the two sets of the final 4 numbers and I got one right!

The reason for you giving a credit card number not only to charge you, 49.99 anually or 5.99 monthly, but it is to identify you. Microsoft doesn't really want to be given a fake name, address, etc. then have someone decide to hack and does it repedidly. They can just decline that number so you can't use it again.

-edit-

Then if you start to break the law they can have you arested with a cazillion dollar bail.

Please, explain, why don't you have your mom's credit card number? Possibly because she doesnt want you on Live?
