wait is it your console that needs to be set to an other country or your XBL account ??? there is a big difference.... unless they make it easy to migrate the country on the XBL account this time around... this won't be a good option for most people that care....

but since if one XBL gold is active on a console you can use it with other account, you could easily make a dummy account in said country with a 6month XBL gold sub and tie your games to a localized account....

anyway we'll within days if not hours after launch if and how it works....

Microsoft made it so you can switch nationalities on XBL accounts this past year, so that's resolved.  The only consideration are games, but as I mentioned elsewhere, with the exception of Germany, you shouldn't have too many issues.  Games may be available in the UK and Ireland before they're available to mainland Europe but in general the same games should be available across Europe.  If you buy disc-based games, then you can avoid any issues with German law.

UK doesn't use the same currency though so be careful with the payment options... it will either not work or your bank will charge you an exchange fee... I'd use a euro country....
I didn't know that about the switching.... is it instant switching or you go through validation and need to be checked and all ??? can I switch back and forth between countries ???? cause if I can I'd centralized everything under one account instead of 2....
