Hi guys,
looks like this issue was discussed long time ago. Try to bring this up again with conclusion, I hope.

I have the same situation.
Try to find out if any other has the same case as mine.

My GT: US (created with US address)
My console: Asian
My Live subscription: SG/Asian

Conclusion: Worked

How about other?

My gamertag is US-registered. I own an Asian console and have been buying and using Asian XBL and Gamerpoint cards. Works fine.
That statement is still valid even today. I can still use MS Points & Gold Subscription cards I buy in HK for my US gamertag account.

U may have misunderstood me. I said I bought an Asian (HK) card for my US account.

HK does not sell US cards. They sell Asian cards. The packaging is different.

I'll add to the equation. I have an Australian XBL account.

Asian XBL points : DON'T WORK
Asian XBL Gold Reload : WORK
US XBL Live Gold Reload (Bought online) : WORK

Terranova: You're pretty lucky to be able to use your Asian points on your US account.

Anyone else tried reloading points to your US account using asian points card? Specifically, HK Asian points?

XBL gold membership is region free (currently). it should work regardless of your current location.

only MS points are region locked to (Aus, Asia, Americas, Europe)

well, if you look at the product cover, it showed "sky TV" which means its UK.

kidicarus busy killing monster lol.

from my previous experience, gold membership is region free. so whichever region (u.s, asia, europe, japan) card you buy can use on any region. cheapest region for all gold card prepaid is always Asia.

but for Microsoft points, is region locked.
