What's up guys.
Basically, I need some Xbox Live Points that are AMERICAN because I need to buy some stuff from the American Marketplace aaaaand Australian XBL points don't work (I'm Australian, see). So basically what I need someone to do is walk out to their nearest games retailer, buy one of those crappy little XBOX LIVE POINTS cards and send me the code via PM or email. Tbh I'm still not 100% sure on whether it will work or not (I would have thought that points would be MULTIREGION and would work anymore but apparently not), so if anyone's gonna go for it, go for the smallest amount of points possible. I'd do it via credit card, but I need to have an address and shit, and the selections are locked to American states; not exactly viable as I live down-under.
I'll get the money to you via Paypal if anyone's up for this! Plus I'll chuck in a tip or a bonus or whatever the hell you'd call it. I dunno. Just let me know if any of you would be cool to do this.

Yeah, I'm going out in a minute, I can pick up points for you. How many do you need?

Just the smallest amount out there; like 1500 I think it is over here? Dunno how it works in the US of A.

We've got the same problem on PSN; there's like a different PSN stores, each with their own content. For instance: PSN UK has a video series of two guys checking out European bands. PSN US has... well... they have... let's see... Anyway, and the PSN Japan has MGS1 for PS3/PSP. I can't buy off the Japan or UK unless I had some local credit card. Though, MasterCard may work, it may also require that I have the same address (IE; in Japan).
Anyway: Pain in the Ass. However, the point card may work similarily, if XBL has the same payment features.

You know you can bypass the whole buying stuff with PSN if you know someone else who has bought whatever you need. Just access their account on your PS3 and you can go re-download the shit for free. So points are region locked as well? Fuck.. Meh.
