Can't register Xbox online - Invalid postcode?

Mayo Exile · 2010-09-09 22:06:11

Trying to register an xbox on the xbox.com site. It says enter 1111 if post code not applicable. Done this, but now getting an invalid post code alert so can't complete the process. Left it blank but you get the same message. What do you do?

I used #kk# (from Kilkenny) and it worked fine for me when I registered five years and on multiple RRoD returns since. Not sure if that'll help you though.

Have you tried 90210? That's what I generally use on websites that won't accept non-US postcodes.
