Enjoy.  And if there's a problem, there is an account management page on your desktop which stores your history of marketplace purchases.  You can always redownload from that page.

MS points are region locked, so you won't be able to redeem asia ms points on your US account.

This is not specifically handpicking on kidicarus, so please bear with me. But I've seen similar posts on our forums stating this same point i.e. that Asian MSP dont work on US account/gamertag.

I can't say it's the same for everyone, but I have bought lots of Asian MSP and used it on my US account/gamertag (my main account per sig below). I've done it since day one, and until today it still works for me. Not sure if it's just me being the odd one out ..... but bear in mind my US account was created very early on when xbox 360 was first launched. One other caveat - only the 1,600 MSP card works .... I once tried the 3,200 MSP card and it didnt work. Very strange ..... hmm.gif

edit - in used2bcow's case, I'd suggest you listen to the other brothers here and just get a US MSP card to be on the safe side. tongue.gif

No problem. Always happy to learn something new. I actually did try to use an asian 1600ms card once on my UK account - it was declined and i had to make a new SG account to redeem it. Maybe the experience is different on a US gamertag, but on these forums I would rather recommend that they get the points that are appropriate to the region as I don't want to be responsible for someone buying points that they can't use.

If you have a UK/US account though, i find that the unit cost of Asian cards tends to be more expensive than US/UK. I normally get the 4200 MSP card from offgamers at about RM155 which normally gets used up in a month or two.

Come to think of it, I've had the opposite problem with gold membership cards. Now everyone says they're region free but I've never been able to redeem the 3 month card that came with my asian xbox on my UK account.
