Dog Spends $62 While Owners Sleep (VIDEO)

A chewed remote control, a dog, and $62.50 less in the bank account. For Greg Stroke, this could only mean one thing: his dog had purchased 5,000 Xbox points -- worth $62 -- while he and his girlfriend were asleep. Stroke saved his credit card information on his remote control to make it easier to buy video games using Microsoft Xbox points -- so easy, in fact, that a dog could do it. When the dog chewed the remote, the points were bought. "i just wish they'd make it a little harder to purchase points," Stroke lamented.

So the dog bought him game points for $62 ...

Question, did he ask for a refund, or play more ... ?

Total scam. Nice way to have to spend Microsoft points (whatever that means) but, more importantly, nice way to get your fifteen minutes. Blame the dog. Give me a break.

This sounds like a story made up by a guy who got caught doing what he promised his girlfriend he wouldn't do anymore.

Um, they do make it harder to purchase points. y not leaving your credit card number stored on the machine if you don't want it to.

I think it's funny that he said that Microsoft WOULDN'T believe him. Apparently, Fox does! Did they vet this story? I'm just saying o_O

So easy, even a dog can do it, would be much better than that Caveman commercial.

Make it harder to collect points? Have you considered that if you have a dog you know chews things, keeping the remote out of its reach? Take responsibility for your own life, instead of expecting the world to coddle you!

Really! I actually don't blame the guy either - how would he know that would happen. But his impulse to blame someone is pathetic. Sometimes, sh*t happens.

There's no personal accountability anymore. This guy is also obviously a distressed homeowner looking for a handout from those who didn't buy more house than they could afford. You know, cause it was the "bank's fault" .

I blame the dog. Today's dogs don't know how easy they have it. I make my dogs earn their own spending money, and I never let them use my credit cards. Dang whippersnappers!

"Was the controller still covered with the dog's spit?"

This is what FOX wants to know? Should have been on O'Reilly....was the loofah still covered with your...
