xbox live locale

    I signed up for the first time last night and created a new user account. When it came to entering Locale, it was default set to Germany (I live here) with no possibility to change it even though I had Ireland set as my Locale in the xbox settings tab.

    How can I change the locale, I've looked in the settings but can't find it? Will this mean that I'm now stuck with all German demos and content from the marketplace?

    Have you tried changing it on Passport.net? You'd log on with the e-mail and password there (as you would on Xbox.com), not sure if it'll affect it though but IIRC you can change your country there.

    Yes check your passport account, as when I set up my account I was signed into the American live and market place.

    Nice one, thanks koneko. I used an old hotmail account that I just use for registrations and the home country was set to Germany. Any idea if this will change my live account locale? Just want to be able to get English demos!

    If that doesn't work then is it possible to delete an account and start all over again with the same gamer tag?

    Nope. Unless you change the name of the tag you are currently using it will always count as in use.
