![]() How… Microsoft of you.ĥ) Let’s follow the link to see what the problem might be… A completely generic and uninformative failure message. “Transaction cannot be performed at this time”. I enter my credit card, confirm all the details, and fiddle around as you do with these sorts of transactions. Not a great price for three hours of content. Now where was I? Oh right…īrowse the store. Get my windows all open again so I can resume the stuff I was doing. Suddenly we hit level four of a nested problem and I begin to become unreasonably irate.Ĥ) Fine, computer rebooted. Jerks.ģ) Reboot what? Close all my programs?

Apparently I have to install the client just to see the pricetag? If I install GFWL and then find out this (reportedly) three-hour DLC is $20, I’m going to be mighty pissed.
