Microsoft Points in UK

Tim11pop · 09-22-2008, 11:19 AM

Hey everyone, just got my Zune earlier last week and I live in the UK.
Just wondering if there is any way to get Microsoft Points to buy things in the Marketplace in the UK? It asks for a US credit card which I obviously don't have.

Well, you pretty much need a US credit card. However, if you can eBay some American Microsoft Point cards (usually for the Xbox but they work for this too) you can buy from the Marketplace if you can trick your computer into thinking you are American. But yes, American point cards are the most expedient method.

Ah ok, thanks for the help. I've already got the marketplace and things on the Zune an the software, but can't buy anything!
