Canadians can't purchase from the Marketplace?

Devhux · 06-15-2008, 10:15 PM

OK, I was almost ready to start writing a review of the Zune 80 when I decided to try using the Marketplace to purchase a song. Upon doing so, I received an error that "the offer you are trying to redeem is invalid."

I've done a search, and it appears that Canadians can view the marketplace, but we cannot purchase stuff as of yet.

I really hope Microsoft fixes this issue soon, because I do have points I'd like to redeem (one of the tunes is one I've never found on CD, and the tape it's on is in horrible shape because I overplayed it).

Don't go to a torrent site and get it for free.
That's bad..
That does suck. I really wish there we other ways to get quality music for free.

Microsoft is still working it out. I thought I read something a while back that all digital music sales in Canada are subject to a tax. I imagine they are working with record labels to get the rights to sell up here, as well as working on prices to include the tax
