OK maybe I can help you out. I can buy for you the MS Points and Live Subscription pre-paid thingy and then email to you the 16-digit code. You can then bank-in $ into my Malaysian bank account.

The pre-paid pack SHOULD work irrespective of where you registered your Live account. I bought a HK pre-paid pack although I registered a USA Live account.

Let me know.

Terra : First you need to make sure the points work on his Live account you're in HK right? wouldn't that mean he needs an asian account then? (HK, SG, etc. etc.) What's the lowest denomination of points you can buy?

My router is officially labelled Xbox Live Compatible on their website. It's a NetGear WGR614 if I'm not mistaken smile.gif

It SHOULD work. I don't think it matters. MS just wants $$$ so I see no reason to region-lock it. Anyway, no worries - if it doesn't work I'll absorb the cost.

Just to re-cap, I bought a HK xbox360 unit, registered my Live account with my USA address, bought a HK prepaid pack (both MS Points and Live subscription), keyed-in the 25-digit code and it works.

Retail price:
Xbox Live Microsoft Points (1600 points) - HK$155
Xbox Live 1-month subscription - HK$59
Xbox Live 3-month subscription - HK$139

Terra : It's not a matter about MS just wants $$$, this is actual revenue to be shared with developer of the game so they must make sure it's sold at a similar level through out the world. Anyway good to hear that it works... maybe didn't work fo rme cause I was a Singapore account trying to use a US point card when SG hadn't launched yet.

Picked this up from xbox.com faq:

"Microsoft Points purchased from a retail store can only be applied to accounts registered to the same country where the retail store is located. The only exception is the 2100 point card (available in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa), which is universal throughout those regions."

Interesting ......

That's why I said it's strange how come you guys could use the Asian points on your US accounts.

The Live cards should be no problem cause you're paying for the service offered by MS. The money doesn't go out to other people like MS Points so I guess that's why they're less strict about that.
