Silva, an ex-dishwasher himself, was kind enough to answer a few questions for us now that his schedule has cleared up a bit.

Let’s be honest, Xbox Live and Wii points suck. Sure they’re a good deal on the rare occasion when they’re on sale, but more often than not you end up buying more points than you needed. Now Amazon.com has opened an Xbox Live store where the game’s point value is translated directly to cash value.
