bro u bought for new registration or top-up

brother ionStorm, I'm interested but wondering if I have Silver account registered but not yet register Gold yet, will it affect me too?

i think so...coz technically when u buy GOLD it will upgrade from ur silver acc...unless u create new account/gt...

really ar? anyone can confirm ar.... don't wish to collect my game points again ler...

Yeah, I'm aware of that.

So, I have to create a fresh account, make sure it's US... only then I can use the trial card that you will be getting right?

Argh, if that's the case, I have to start thinking of a new gamertag.

As for your case, you can just use the card to activate your account. You will only need to create a new account if you wanna change the billing address like me. Sigh...

but U/S account cannot download movies and trailers...

Eh? I thought that's the main difference between US and other accounts? They have more content like tv shows & movies...

yeah.. I also got two accounts.. but log in us account Ican't download.. due to the region ip they done ...

I tried downloading one free tv show, seems to work fine. Stupid show though, some comedy. Can't remember the title.

Didn't try others yet, will do so later. I guess it won't work anyways eh?

What's up with the 10 GB usable space on the HDD.... freaking small ler. There's only 100 MB left on mine.... and I don't know what to clear... I want it all, and MOREEEEEEEEEEEE.....

backup the file lo hm.. maybe silver account can't download... must activate with gold.... hm...

does redeem code that ionstorm buy can use for new account? or only reload?

How to backup lar bro? I know there's 'unofficial' way to do it, but are there any easy way to do it the 'legit' way.

With our current connection, downloading anything is a freaking pain. Anyone tried backing up the demos?

use "sata to usb" cable and the "xplorer360.exe" to get a peek on your 360 HD content via PC. u can retrieve the files from the HD but restoring the files could have problems.

Seems this question haven't been answered or I'm blind. Can you use the US reload to activate a new account? I'm planning to try out LIVE.

UPDATE!

I bought a code, for a h3be, and guess what, IT DOESN'T WORK.

We're trying to figure out what's happening and i've already contacted the seller. It MIGHT be one of those that were designed to be used with NEW accounts only.

I got this code from another person, simply because the person that I bought it from didn't have anymore stock at the time.

Bottomline is, if anyone else wants me to purchase, this time I will only purchase from the first person I bought it from. I'm certain that his batch of cards will be workable, though I cannot be held liable if it doesn't work.

To h3be: You can either make a new account and try this, OR someone else can try this code, and pay you if it works. If all else fails, I am offering to absorb half the damage. How's that?

I'm so sorry to say that there's risk involved, but it won't stop me from buying my next 12mo reload from across the seas.

The main issue here is MS screwing up the reloads. No more than that.

The SAFEST bet is the 3mo reloads from GH, or credit card subscription.

tommorow I go order a gold account 1 year membership and try .. but see it will arrive or not la..

Currently all I know is

US Account will work for the reload for 3 months (Asia) and 1600MS Point (Asia) [If the Machine IP is under Asia]

others I still haven't do any test before.

so only work on new account (with no silver)? or existing silver account also can work?

ionStorm, the 1st person you bought the subcription from canbe used on your existing silver account or your newly created account?

i guess one of the reason why it is not working for me is because my silver account expires for too long after the free 1 month gold trial (about 1 month+)

creating a new account might work though but it is gonna be ghey coz i dont wanna change my gamertag name and losing the achievements.

Anyone here can confirm that using Credit Card will 100% sucessfully renew my silver account (registered under Singapore) even if it expires for a long time?

h3be, you think it will work on mine? I got silver but never activate gold (even trial 1month gold)...
