I have created Japanese and US hotmail accounts and will try and set up LIVE accounts with these tonight... is there anything I should be aware of, is this againt any MS rules that can result in a ban?

Thanks in advance.

 


They can supposedly lock your account to your own region but I have had 2 US accounts and 1 Japanese account for over a year with no troubles.

I hope they don't ban you, its your money you're giving them.

I think they mean your account will be terminated if it is not active for some time



I always though the 360s themselves were region locked somehow for XBL.

Dont forget a yank address' for the hotmail account. My .com never gave me a region choice.

Btw what are you doing this for?

thanks for nothing aion

Oooh burn.

Anyway, it seems like there's very little to be gained from account investigation in this matter.  I mean, think about how much time and money it would take to go through every person's account and check it thoroughly.  They certainly couldn't use an automated system because if that screwed up and they ended up with half of LIVE banned it would basically kill the gaming division in terms of PR and usability.



It will be the same as PSN i would presume, create an account and as long as you dont do anything stupid you should be fine.



Every polish live user has account registered for uk/us using fake adress and so far noone was banned so you don't have to woryy.

JP DLC won't work with the US version of a game I've heard. Not that it will affect most people



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

You've got me thinking if the JP DLC for Blue Dragon worked on my UK game. I will check it out later maybe.
