Thanks for the info. Bought US MS points from www.maximuscards.com, 1600 points for RM79 (much cheaper than SG MS points), redeemed on US gamertag, bought shadow complex, now playing the game using SG gamertag

You should stick just to the US account. So that everything you've purchased is in one account. It'll be inconvenient to switch into one another to buy and play.

Since we're on the subject of controllers, I think we're being trolled:  @samowong Also, generally the default price for MS points is 10USD=800msp, if you can link a credit card, you would be doing far better than maximuscards. Also on play-asia SG points are going for RM79 for 1600. Offgamers.com is currently doing US MS points for RM70 for 1600 and RM167 for 4000 which is better value for money than what you were quoting.

Sorry, my bad. Just checked my CC statement. The exact transacted cost for 1600 USmsp is USD21.95 (RM 70.12) from maximus.com. I didn't want to leave my CC details on XBL coz i won't be able to delete it.

You will still play with Asian peoples because the IP used on your Xbox is from Asian country, unless you connect to Xbox Live through a US-based VPN. My friend does it all the time, save the money and still get to play with Asians.

Guess i'll just stick to the SG gt then. As for mspoints, i still am not comfortable leaving CC details on XBL. Thanks for the info

Thanks for the info  Nope, there's no way to transfer them, unless you somehow got uncle or cousin working on the Xbox team  Yep, I tied my Paypal and now I can't remove it. Stupid.
