Yeah, that's where it gets confusing, since I am pretty certain the marketplace I'm currently getting is the US one, so it makes using a UK code rather odd.. but then again, I don't exactly want to waste money on a UK code only to find it may not work either.

Predicament, isn't it?

I can't say for sure, but “probably not” is my response. They can only get out XBLA games from Amazon and I just did a fast check and didn't see it there :( send an e-mail to him to see what can be done.

the codes are region-restricted. if you are in the UK, then you need a code for the UK marketplace. this goes for point cards as well. i imagine if you were to win a contest, and receive a code for the US, it would work on your account since it's tied to the U.S. marketplace. although, they may have done some extra locking down of these things since last i checked. it was a while ago.

That's because Mike isn't a writer. He just handles the SE offers program, which *fingers crossed* should bring in more readers.

See, but there's the rub.. even if you do a EU version, my 360 is a US one. Not even sure the codes you'd give based on an EU region contest would work on it. Gah, I had region restrictions!

so you know straight up signing up for net flix requires a credit card. we're working on making offers where you don't need one.

This is the first time I've seen an article from “Mike .”. I probably only noticed this because he doesn't seem to contribute to the main body of “Siliconera Speaks Up” articles.

Hrm. Don't know if want. . . .
Mostly because I really don't like signing up for stuff, especially stuff that could possibly end up getting me charged. =( (Though if there's not even a need to enter a credit card number, I may very well go for it)
