Ok, my main question: If ur gamertag is registered to US server, that means u can only use Xbox Live cards from US and nowhere else?
Xbox Live Gold cards region-coded?, or issit the MSPoints? Or both?

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? |

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.
