Hi all,

I've actually been facing this problem for quite some time now so perhaps someone here could help?

im looking to buy MS points for DLC, but all the websites which sell MS points online AND delivers the codes to your email is only applicable to US and Europe accounts, but not Asia. why is that?

the only way right now i get my points is by going to gaming shops, like Gamers Hideout to buy the actual points card itself, but i find that too damn tedious and such a waste of time~

anyone found any websites or any other ways where i can buy MS points which WILL work for Asian consoles, which doesnt involve having the points card actually physically shipped to you?



any advice or solutions is appreciated smile.gif thank you!!


p.s: and plz dont recommend the 2 accounts loop-hole thing... one being US account, u buy points, download stuff from marketplace then switch to asian profile to play. im kindly asking for a method which doesnt involve this. sweat.gif

Here you go, site is gameshop.com.sg. I've bought from them before so they are reliable. You'll just need to indicate to send via email on checkout/payment.

Direct links:

1600 MSP (Asia) - http://is.gd/cxCA8
3200 MSP (Asia) - http://is.gd/cxCCo

Thanks alot!!! will give it a try later when i get home smile.gif will update here if all goes well smile.gif

update: submitted an order but sadly, its not instant... which makes me wonder why those websites from US/EU can provide instant codes and not us.... will update again once i'm actually asked to provide payment.

TS, you can buy MS points direct from Play Asia. They will then email and ask you whether you prefer them to courier the points card or email you the points code directly. I got them to email me the points code, and they did so within 2 days of my purchase. Excellent service!

i thought they would as well. emailed them to ask them if they could have the codes emailed to me instead of the physical card itself, but never got a reply from them! jz sent another one yesterday and hoping they can help answer this question once and for all soon...

Guys, I have done this before and it works.

1. go to www.maximuscards.com
2. buy the US or Euro MS points (I paid via Paypal)
3. get the US code in your email
4. setup a US account in XBOX live
5. enter the US code in XBOX live for DLC or game
6. download the DLC/game
7. sign out of US account and sign in using Asian account, the DLC/game would still be installed on your harddrive
8. Play using Asian account

Don't know why anyone is not doing the above, but I am sure there's some drawback. Can't figure any yet.

yeah, there is this method, but not all players, including me like this method cuz its a loop-hole in the system. i dont think there's anything wrong doing it this way according to Xbox EULA, but i prefer the method i mentioned above smile.gif
