    Easy to get 7 and 1 mixed up, and 8 and B.
    Log into xbox.com and redeem the code there (quicker than entering it on the xbox).

    If it turns out it was a bad code they gave you Smyth's should just replace your copy if you get it back to them in a reasonable time frame.

    iv tried a few user names and that and also tried my xbox live user name but it keeps coming up saying.

    Choose an Origin ID* : This Master ID is invalid or already exists

    Origin is a separate account to your Xbox Live account. It will have a different user name and password (preferably). You will be prompted to make one on any EA game that's played online. Or you can make one on their website and use it when setting up an EA game online on your Xbox. Odd they're asking you for this since you haven't managed getting your game online since your code won't work. Did you say you were speaking to Microsoft support? And they fobbed you off to EA? Not surprising, whenever I've had a problem with a code for a game I just got the shop to sort it out. They'll usually replace the whole game or get their hands on another code for you.

    You can create an account here:

    https://www.ea.com/profile/register

    Just use the details you use here on any EA games that require it in the future.
