My Xbox live Setup experience!
A friend of mine recently got an XBOX 360. This contributes to a lot of fun when we have guests over or just need to blow of a bit of steam.
I recently got a reasonable internet connection and wanted to use this with the XBOX to download some movies. This is where I found my first obstacle. I already had an existing windows live account and wanted to use this with the XBOX, which was the easy part.
Being XBOX, it will continuously try to download the needed updates as you go on. I wanted to download the video codecs for an AVI file. Apparently this is still a major issue for XBOX in South Africa. I went to google for a little help from my friends and found the following forum that helped me immensely!
Open an e-mail account with a USA address. I created a new hotmail acount and used the ZIP Code for Los Angeles (9005).
Once this has been done, go to your dashboard and sign out.
This solves the problem and did it without further hassle.
Further to the above also check out the extra stuff you have access to when you are signed in under the new gamertag.
You can use the downloaded content in your own gamertag again as well. Only use the US account to download!
This also did the trick for me and I enjoyed a lot of new content!
I hope that this will help you lot out there as well.
