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?

for gold subscription, yes you may use the card from anywhere. but not the M$ point card.

My last post on this thread on 20 Dec 2006 below: QUOTE 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. This post has been edited by terranova: Feb 16 2009, 12:56 PM

If so, I would get a US card as i got a site sell them very cheap.

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.
