hey guys, I apologise if this has been discussed before. But I really couldn't find any answer to my question. I have a problem with region locked items on Xbox Live. My console is PAL, and my registered Gamertag is US (long story short, my email was registered US long ago). I bought MS to purchase some games-on-demand in Xbox Live, however, after attempting to purchase some games with US MS points, I found that my US gamertag was showing NTSC region games, because it kept saying a message with something like "this game's region cannot be played with the console's region code" or something like that. my question is, can I view PAL contents with my US Gamertag? (such as PAL games on XBLM) If not, then can I actually create a new UK Gamertag with UK MS points, purchase the games off PAL contents on XBLM and once done I can sign into my US Gamertag and play them? In other words, can a downloaded game be played by 2 different gamertags in one console? I'll just be using my UK Gamertag to purchase PAL contents for my PAL xbox 360 console so that I can play them with my US Gamertag online with friends. The reason i'm asking is because I really dont want to lose my US Gamertag with saved, achievements, arcade downloaded contents etc. I just wish I could transfer my MS points and downloaded contents to another gamertag (screw achievements if I can't transfer them too =/ ) Thanks in Advance guys !
Pretty sure you're screwed, any time you dl something it's linked to that gamertag, so no other gamer tag can play it. If I was you i'd call MS and see if you can have the region on your gamertag changed.. or find a way to do it online.
