I encountered some problem while registering in Xbox Live just now:

1) i setup the wrong profile for my Xbox Live and associated with my existing Windows ID / Hotmail Email address... how do I undo that ?

2) I wanted to use my Credit Card to purchase Ms Points, but the card details must be linked to Singapore Details because I used Singapore region details to setup my account. I can't key in the correct billing information due to that. Any advise

Thanks !

1) u cant change ur live id once u have associated it with that gamertag. the only way is to create another gamertag with another live id

2) they dont check the billing address. i tried using ambank nexG, (around 10-20 times), but it doesnt work. but used my mom's maybank mastercard (or visa) forgot d, n it works. i did ask ambank's help center dude, he said that i must call them up first prior to making online purchasing (for international purchases lah), so that they remove the restrictions on the cards, be it currency conversion or taxes or some other things.

Xbox 360 Marketplace Territory Controls Strengthened
Source

Does this means Malaysian can't download any contents from any region's marketplace anymore after the Spring Update since we technically have an account that does not match the country where we are located?

if judging by the news, it seems that not only the movie show are being blocked, as the case of mentioning German country. as many will know, German have ban quite alot of 360 games, e.g GoW. it's a big possibilities that games content will also be blocked. if going by technical, i see 2 probabilities how they implement the controls, e.g for US account:

1. if the country is not US, all the content will be blocked.
2. if the country in the supported country show the country's marketplace, otherwise show the marketplace according to the account.

there are possibilities for the number 2, since MS didn't partners with the unsupported country they doesn't need to do any control for that country. this is if MS being lenient. otherwise we'll end up scourging for tunneling server. so better start pray2 it will be implemented like the number 2.

QUOTE(PrivateJohn @ May 4 2007, 10:09 PM)

So we have to wait for official announcement. Like someone pointed out, there are alot of US soldier located in Iraq etc etc who also play Xb360. (quite a large sum of Halo 2 players are in the Army!)

who's that dork that say such thing?

that only apply if connecting to LIVE, if i understand what that dork trying to say.
unfortunately it's not that simple. yeah, he's a US citizen, but he still need to abide by the country law he's currently in. US you can freely go to any video store and buy adult movie, if in SG you think can ar? like game content for GoW, German already ban the game, surely the German don't want their people still can download GoW content by manipulating the 360 account. if the people can manipulate, the blame will falls to MS.

EDIT: from the other thread

QUOTE

Michael Newey: While we do not advise or condone this since a user who does this is technically breaking a contractual agreement, users with this type of account will still be able to use it. However, they will not be able to download content from Xbox Live Marketplace.

yup, sayonara marketplace. now we can't even download from SG marketplace. no more extra maps or gamer picture. anyone know any good tunneling server?

On Xbox's website, they only mention that the requirement is High-speed Internet service (cable or DSL). They didn't mention about minimum connection speed requirement.

IMHO, the ping to the Xbox Live server is more important than connection speed, and since you're using Maxis Wireless, the ping will suck compared to normal wired broadband.
