I'm not sure if you people are aware, but once you created your Xbox Live account, you'll won't be able to move to another country any more.

Why? Because you can't change the country information for your profile. And once you chose, say the UK e.g., you can only use UK credit cards.

Great, now I've spent over a 1000 bucks on Xbox Live content, but moved to another country ever since. Now I can't buy / redeem a new Gold membership, I can't buy new Points. Calling Microsoft support and asking to change this information results in laughter and hilarious suggestions:

Support: "Just create a new account!"
Me: "But then I'd lose all the content / Rock Band tracks I've bought."
Support: "You can buy the content again!"
Me: "How retarded do you think I am?!"

And I'm not the only one: http://forums.xbox.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=27560498
Microsoft, you're being pathetic. Please change this f'd-up situation.

I had this exact same problem. Thankfully, you don't lose anything you bought, but you do lose all your previous save data and achievements.

@red: Only as long as you keep the same console and are connected to Xbox Live. Otherwise you're only able to use that content with the original gamertag that you bought the content with!

@mordukai: Sadly it's not as easy. There currently really seems no solution to this problem. I contacted them via phone, sent them an email, asked on the forums, even sent them a letter via snail mail. I always got the same response: "We can't handle this situation, the only thing you can do is create a new account."

i did not know this, thank you for the post muesli.

Simply don't change any info or make a new account. Isn't your problem solved (sorry if someone said this already. Didn't bother to read thread)
