I was thinking about actually paying for the $30 or $40... the only thing is I've started wondering about the risks. How safe is this method?
Perhaps all goes well and you'll have your xbox One for chump change while others are paying half a G on them. Or maybe some guy in a suit will come knocking on your door. What do you guys think?
From what I have heard the method does work. People were doing it on the Forum a couple of months ago then it got extremely popular. The worst that can happen is they will send you a bill and you just tell them that you never got the X1. It is just a word for word game. I would say there aren't really any risks.
No risks at all. I've personally had a conversation with Microsoft, and they told me there was no chance of being billed, as all they can do is bill the VCC.
