Hi,

Is it possible to buy Xbox live subscription cards in Korean gamestores or Emart, and if so, will the subscription number work with my UK bought 360? I have tried renewing my current xbox live membership using a credit card but it won't work.

Thanks
Ben

I don't think any Live cards bought in Korea will work on your 360. I seem to remember reading the fine print on one that said "For US XBOX 360 only" (I have a US one). Just ask to see the card at Emart and read the fine print on the back.

THey sell them at Yongsan Xbox stall

They do work here.

If you try and sign up for live in Korea they only accept card numbers, no credit cards for your account.

I bought mine off of ebay. The seller just sent me the pin code through an email and it worked fine.

It's a lot cheaper to get a Korean one than a UK one.

Uk is twenty quid more expensive a year than US or Korea.

i'm not very computer smart, and when i plugged my internet chord into the XBOx, it said i had no connection, due to an IP address problem...
Is this because i use the same modem for my laptop?
how can i configure this so i can play?
i really wanna play some online games!!!!

Did you turn the xbox on first then turn on the modem?

It's a lot easier to buy a cheap router though. No cable swapping after that.
