      Xbox queries

      Hi

      My son has a UK Xbox & wants to use Xbox live. He wasn't a member in UK as he only purchased his Xbox just prior to coming to oz. He has purchased a points card in Oz but still couldn't get online. Does he have to have a UK online account due to his Xbox being from UK? Any advice welcome.

      Thank you

      xbox live points are something that you purchase off the xbox marketplace. your son needs to go out and by a xbox live gold membership. 3months $40 12 months is $80 . you can get this from game , if your not sure the game guys at collonades are really helpful


      hope this helps

      no, he'll need an australian account due to being in Australia (the xbox marketplace can tell from the IP address). He will need to change his hotmail account location to Australia, and if using credit card to buy points, it needs to be an australian one.
