Hello guys, noob question.

In xbox.com, my status is printed as shown in attachment (xbox status.jpg). -> Singapore
But my account contact/ billing information is as attached (contact.jpg) -> United State

The country part of the contact cannot be changed anymore.
Thus, my account is singapore or US???

Thanks

While registering new XBOX Live account, which country did your Hotmail account registered? If your Hotmail account registered under US country then your XBOX Live account will be US account too.

my hotmail's contact is US (that time hotmail will be upgraded to 2GB becoz of this address).
Then my xbox account is US? then why in left pic it shows as singapore? I'm confused.

So in this case, should I buy US or asia live gold prepaid?


====================================================================================
Hello again,

Now my contact information is US and country is US. If I use credit card to purchase MS point, how should I deal with the address?
Should I use the one that I entered before? (when I registered account that time)
Or should I change my real address but stick back US as country (since it cannot be changed)???

Thx!!

I think you are in the same situation as me.
My account is Singapore region, but my MS billing address is US. So when i enter my visa detail, i use valid US post code.
It's weird..ya, i know. laugh.gif

Let us know whether you can purchase any MS point, my friend Radagust can't seem to do so.

So, meaning to say mine is singapore account also?? In that case I need to purchase asia prepaid live gold..

I tried to purchase MS point in xbox.com website instead of via live online.
I can't purchase even though im using the valid US post code (10012), the one you posted.
Which bank of credit card you are using? I'm afraid maybank or public bank local bank cannot be used???? It keeps saying invalid c.c. no.
AMEX is verified ok but fail in security code... hhhmmm....

You have any idea? what postal code you are using?

The country name displayed on your gamertag is only locale settings, you can change what ever country you like from your console (System > Console Settings > Locale) but your XBOX Live Account region cannot be change. For quick verification your Account is US or Singapore, go to Marketplace > Spotlight. If you can see 'Free Stuff' column, thats mean your account is US region, if not then it is Singapore region.

Me and I believe lots of credit card user here not longer can purchase MS points via XBOX Live, guess MS already banned our credit card for MS Points. So my recommendation is use prepaid card.

ohoh, mine has free stuff. then is US account lar. thx for this info.
luckily I make this clear. then I will buy a US prepaid card for gold live.

erm... guys.

I was asking you guys help on helping me to clarify whether my account is US or Singapore.
So, after some discussion

1) My window ID is using US as country. So My Live account is generated as US account automatically
2) I have free stuff column inside spotlight. So someone said is US account.

So today I went to GH to purchase prepaid gold 3months. Only Singapore prepaid is sold.
I bought the Singapore card and thinking of creating a new singapore account.
But before that, I tried the card with my US account, it works.

Sooo.... my account is actually Singapore or US account????????

I'm having asian console, US gamertag. I bought SG live prepaid from GH and reload no problem. I don't think gold live is region-locked

hey guys, i log in with silver account and found that whole market place is gone.

Is it due to "silver" or maintenance from MS?
