    For some reason, my Xbox account is set up as being in America so I can't add my Irish credit card to it. It seems that you can't change that without creating a new Live account and new Gamertag. Don't suppose anyone knows a way around this?

    I had the same problem when I set up my live account. It was due to having an msn passport thing that I had set up when I lived in the US. I couldn't find any way around it other than setting up an account.

    Sorry bout that man, good luck anyway!

    Balls. I've emailed Support anyway, see if they can do anything. Doesn't look likely :(

    If I download something on my other account, will it be available on my main account does anyone know?

    Get ready for the ever informative e mail, that states thatthey can't do anything about your problem but if you ring custoer support they will try and help.I have sent several e mails sbout different problems over the years and slways the same reply, to ring the support line.Dont know why they even bother.Now guaranteed about 6 months ago I startedsending stupid questions cause I was so pissed off with them just to see if they would respond and they always do but say to ring the support line.Lastone I fired off was asking about if I should but a ps3 or if the xbox was so greatshould I buy another one to have spare for when I inevitably get the rrod.

    Dunno if this is any help, but when I bought my 12 month subscription over christmas and when I put in the code to redeem teh sub, it said it couldn't.
    Rang customer service and they said it was because I didn't have any region or location coosen, and they sorted it out over the phone. 20 minutes later I was playing COD4
