Hey dude really...Im Greek and I always had xbox live (since Dec 2005). If you go to your hotmail account and change the country to UK (find a valid UK postal code i.e. UB8 3FG) then you will have no problem. The only problem now is that since jan-2009 Greek credit cards are not accepted from the service. So you can just buy microsoft cards with redeem codes. The best site is amazon.co.uk with minimum shipping costs...(no way more than 5 euros). And another negative, is that you cannot download some add-ons or videos that they are tooooo rare to be found. (because of country restrictions but that goes for all countries xbox live supports). The only major game i cannot download map packs is cod:world at war....too bad...but its ok...life goes on...But im telling you...You can play live and download games and add-ons from Greece just fine. end of story...
