Hi Dizzy, I've sent you a request for a username, thanks in advance dude, you're doing an excellent job for all us non-US Zune owners.

Cheers,

Mickey

Sorry all, I know I'm kind of failing at the moment. I've been really busy lately and that doesn't look to change.

Another way to get an account is to download and install the Opera browser. Supposedly, you'll be able to register with this fine.

This may also help some folks- found it in the zune.net forums.

thats alright your only human. i'll give the opera thing a go

[Dizzy]

Did it work?
I'm curious as to whether or not it's been fixed yet.

Note that if you do use Opera, you still can't use a live ID you've already registered out of the U.S.

I find it extremely that Microsoft would shoot itself in the foot like this only allowing the US and Canadian residents to access its network.

when there are dedicated fans out there who geniunely prefer Zune to Ipod. and making a firm decision to choose zune over ipods.

they have a great product in zune. why not simply make it available to all. what harm could there possibily be to allow access for those who live outside of north america.

that is the reason that microsoft is loosing ground in today´s market.

the execs simply do not think clearly and innovate in a competitive world.

but thanks to everyone here on the boards whom are willing help those devoted zune fans like myself.

KUDOS to you all !!!

I just installed a proxy service for firefox and enabled it
and set up my account quick and easy.
Now let's hope Microsoft actually opens
it up to us sometime in the near future.
That would be nice

Just created an account using Opera and, shall we say, a not quite perfectly accurate windows live account Am signed in with firefox now no problem

[Sir Doctor]

Another easy way to sign up is to download google chrome and open an incognito window.

Worked fine for me after all the proxy's that failed.

[helluvagood]

good luck to u guys~

[dogtag]

i have signed up a while ago using proxy and firefox worked fine. however I would love to have a zune pass

[vladaman]

[Peter007999]

if this is to get marketplace u can just change ur regional and where ur are settings in control pannel to the us,
i think canada has marketplace now if thats what ur talking about

[a bright side of life]

Wow, so I tried the Google Chrome Incognito Window and it works! Thank you!

[TedEaston]

I've been trying to get this to work for me, but no luck. Anyone able to perhaps make me an account?
'twould be much appreciated.

[hellstuck skeb]

[Bolt]
