as a guy who's planning to buy a 360 real soon (as in the next few days type of soon) there's a couple of things i need to understand first:

since xbox 360 didn't officially launch in malaysia, that means that we have to go be registered as singaporeans right? so... does that mean we have to create a new windows live account with the correct postcode, country, etc?

and when you do have your live membership, are all the xbox live content (demos, trailers, downloads, etc) available, or does it only apply to the country you're in? if so, does the singapore xbox live content contain all the good stuff from US? is it possible to create an account as somebody from the US?

lastly, if somehow i don't have an internet connection, is there any other way to get updates? or are the updates unnecessary?

P.S: a little side question... are game demos on marketplace free?

you can change the region of whatever live account you have here before signing up for a gamertag. it is also necessary to provide a valid post/zip code (and phone number too) during registration of your gamertag. i suggest signing up from the xbox itself so u would be entitled to 1 month xbox live gold. if you create your gamertag from the web, there is no free trial. and be careful what gamertag you choose & which live account u associate it with as gamertag & live account linking is not reversable and changing your gamertag requires payment.
whoa i didn't know about the free gold trial, nice! so basically i can register for a gamertag from start to finish, through and through right from my xbox? even if i don't have a windows live account? btw, are we all (malaysian xbox live gamers) sign up as singaporeans?

hehe the excitements building up like crazy... just a few hours more and i'll get my 360!

total dissapointment...

bought a 360 this petang, and tried to connect to live, but somehow the IP address test did not pass... i connected my 360 directly to the modem and the modem directly through the phone line, no router and all that stuff.

the error was something like this > X:4000-1001 (the rest was 0000 i think).i also set the all the settings on automatic. please anybody, somebody, whatever, just help me out of this...

Here's a dumb question...
We will soon be getting xbox originals via Xbox Live rite...
was wondering if it will have any region protection like some of the game contents. e.g: GOW  hmm.gif
can some one comment?

oh yeah, one more thing i'd like to ask relating to that is... what if we just change our locale in the system settings. would that work? or maybe even create a new account and set our country in america. would that work too?

a quick question... can we buy the xbox originals game on XBL even if you have a singaporean account? or is it only open for U.S accounts? because there's a lot of xbox 1 games that i'm dying to play!
