you can actually get points for your account. I don't live in America or any other country where you can purchase points online or through a card. So I went to this website called microsoftpointsxbox. They are a little more expensive, but they will work, that's how I've gotten some of my XBLA games.

I've heard I can make a canadian account, add ms points to that and play with that.

[QUOTE="Toriko42"][QUOTE="too_much_eslim"]don't you think you caused the problem though? Why don't you call them up and see how you can solve it.too_much_eslim
I can't, they can't change the country. I have to get a new account.

question you have a japanes 360 or a US one?

I bought my 360 in Canada, if there is only a distinction between Japan and US I guess it's a US one. It's NTSC.

Do gold account cards work in both Canada and America? I know MS point cards are specific but my gold card didn't fuss...

[QUOTE="Toriko42"]I never gave out real information...organic_machine
That's the problem.

That's bull though, I was 7. Which 7 year old gives out all their information when you're told not too.

I can change my country on my Apple TV which has tons of licensing stuff...I bought a gold account card here that worked fine so why not MS point cards.

So I bought a 1400 hundred point card and was excited as ever to get home and buy Mega Man 9 and the Legendary map pack. Guess what though, my Xbox accoutn has compatibility issues...

My account says I live in America, I didn't bother changing this from my outdated email because I figured I'd be able to do it any time like on any other email. I also gave false information on my email which is 7 years old because at the time I never gave out real information, I trusted no one like I was told by everyone.

Now I can't add a 1400 MS point card, I gotta buy cards from America now...Why the hell can't I change my country? The service rep says I just can't. I said, but my 12 month gold card worked fine and she said you might have gotten lucky. I'm left with these problems

1. I'll never get to play Mega Man 9 unless Capcom realeases a disc version
2. I'll never be able to get anything with MS points including Rock Band DLC
3. I'll never be able to buy anything off of Xbox Live
4. I'll have to be careful when I buy new gold live cards
5. I may have to just make a new account and lose all my gamerscore and friends
6. I need to update my shipping info and don't know how

Some of you call me fanboy, well this is just crap. I hate this problem and the fact that I can't change my country to a country which has less features then America makes no sense to me.


EDIT: I'm not the only one

I've heard you can make a free silver account, put the ms points on that and then the stuff you download for that account will work for your account too.

Sigh, looks like I may have to return the cards and live with never being able to buy anything on the marketplace...
