Xbox live should work, I don't think it has any regional locking, But don't take my word for it, go to x.box.com and try buying it. If you can buy it with an Egyptian IP, there should be no problem.

@tanerb: Egypt are one of the few countries that are not on the supported Xbox Live list, meaning he won't be able to use Xbox Live features with an Egyptian IP. To the OP I think you're all out of luck here.

You will need to pick a region/country close to you.

XBL is not region locked , because here/Greece/ we got suport in 2012 , but most of us used UK accounts to play.

Its a pain in the ass trying to keep XBL gold so i hope you have a credit card or you import Gold cards.

The only thing that will not work are the TV stuff /Netflix , Hulu etc/ playing games online and dlc will work but i think it will be better to find a closer country , because US accounts are verry strick.

I think you need a brand new account.Not sure how MS handles region change but Sony allows it if/when they detect you in a diff region.

I think you need a brand new account.

Thats it.

Nothing else except to get Gold and you are set.

As for credit card:Don't know , you will have to try yourself friend.

Listen just connect to XBL and see if you can enter the store and get somthing that is free/DLC , avatar stuff anything/

Calling MS is a waste of time because they don't care about you in Egypt.If soulders in Iraq can play XBL , so can you.
