Default Microsoft Comes Through

A few weeks ago I posted a story about a gamer that sent his XBox in for repair and all the artwork was removed or lost at Microsoft. Bungie came through and sent him a bunch of game stuff. Well Microsoft has come through now.

Thats mad, I didnt thik microsoft could be so generous, but even with all that stuff it doent really make the fact they screwed up to begin with any better.
I suppose that they cant turn back time (yet....) so this is just about the best anyone could ask of them.

Good for Microsoft, and I hope they fix whatever went wrong so nothing like it happens to anyone else again!

I think the coolest part was that even though the guy lost irreplaceable artwork and signatures, he was incredibly humble about it. And as for Bungie...wow. Those are some amazing folks. It's good to know at least a few companies haven't lost sight of where they came from.
