For any Xbox 360 owners who got the latest biggest release, Skate 2, and fancy grabbing those hard to get achievements.

Amazingly enough, the day that I post about my long wait to get my Xbox Live account unlocked, it gets unlocked. So after around 2 weeks of waiting and alot of phone calls to them, they finally pressed the magic button, unlocked my account, allowing me to spend more money on my account. Now that my account is unlocked I can finally use the 2100 MS points I bought 2 weeks ago, so, new Fable 2 content here I come!
