According to a broadcast on reliable, non-biased news channel Fox News, a dog owned by a Virgina couple purchased $62 worth of Microsoft Points. According to the pair, the dog got its paws on an Xbox controller and managed to purchase 5,000 points while the couple slept.

I'm a little dubious. It seems like the series of button-presses needed to turn on an Xbox and buy points couldn't be accomplished by anything but a super-intelligent wonder dog, like Lassie or Beverly Hills Chihuahua. But one thing is clear, If this story is true, it proves that dogs like the Xbox where cats like the PS3. I think this is fairly accurate. As for who which pets like The Wii, it's clearly hamsters.

first balloon boy, now dog buying MS points. What next?

Dog turning on an Xbox and TV, and navigated all the way to the Credit card page? I call hoax.

This is a hoax, I bet unless reincarnation really exists and some person traped in a dogs body manage to buy points.

Last week, I brought you the story of Oscar, the dog who purchased $62 worth of Microsoft Points while his owners slept. Since this story broke, Microsoft has revealed that it is refunding the LIVE points to the dog's owners and "providing extra for good measure." Microsoft also created a gamertag for Oscar so the dog "doesn’t feel left out anymore."

These important developments in the story obviously raise a number of troubling questions about the future of cross-species gaming. Summoning all my journalistic powers, I was able to track down a Microsoft representative and get the following hard-hitting questions answered.

G4: What’s Oscar's gamertag? Because I want to play him at Tekken 6.

Microsoft: Oscar’s Gamertag is Oscar the K9 and his LIVE friend list is already full!

G4: Great. I have fewer friends than a dog... Does the story of Oscar the Dog indicate Xbox is shifting its focus to more canine-based entertainment products? Can we expect to see the release of a game called Chewing My Damn Sneakers Apart?

Microsoft: Microsoft does not comment on rumors or speculation.

G4: Are there any cats with gamertags?

Microsoft : Not that we’re aware of, Oscar is the first of our furry four-legged friends to have a game tag.

G4: My toddler has purchased an episode of Lost that I've already seen while playing with and/or sucking on a controller. Does Microsoft have a team of ergonomics specialists/mad scientists who design the Xbox controllers specifically so that dogs and babies will buy things by accident???? (OMG! Conspiracy!)

Microsoft: Again, Microsoft does not comment on rumors, speculation or even conspiracy theories.

There you have it people: Microsoft totally discriminates against cats. (This is why they call me "Scoop" Johnson.)
