Not an attempt to drive traffic to my blog honest, but the full story can  
be found here

To summarize I'm asking any XBox360 owners here -

1) Is it possible to log in online without a passcode using only the  
publicly displayed gamertag?
2) How easy is it to 'accidentally' purchase something from Marketplace in  
this case a full £20 game.

As it stands my friend's son is on the brink of forfeiting his next  
Christmas and Birthday presents unless he pays up; but as an accident it  
could lead to a slightly more lenient response and the default "Bloody  
Microsoft" outcry :-)
