    Harmonix may have lost sales through limited avaiabilty, but you have to take into account the money that harmonix got from MS to secure the exclusive. I bet that little wdge helped to secure the Beatles exclusive that they have got which will be a nice little earner for them at $250 for the full mystery pack.

    Xbox Live Security Check

    Security is kept on the xbox in case people lose their accounts or are being hacked. It is something good that is on xbox.

    Hi there,

    Beside the 30 days limit there are a few additional things. For example funds on the account could prevent a move, so it may be best to use it all before a move. See this link for those restrictions and for the steps:

    support.xbox.com/.../switch-gamertag-to-different-microsoft-account


    If it should be able to be moved but still fails, does it show any error message and or code?

    Do any of the restrictions apply that are mentioned on that support page?

    And are there any funds on the account?

    This is one of the restrictions, please check/see the following:

    "The current Microsoft account has only one billing account associated with it. If you have ever made purchases in more than one country, have subscriptions such as Office 365, or have bought an app through the Windows Store, you may have more than one billing
    account. Go to commerce.microsoft.com to find out. "

    If there are multiple billing accounts (multiple countries) then that indeed is the cause why it can't be done.

    To be sure you will need to contact Xbox Support, they will also be able to check and tell if there is anything that can be done, so you can move the account.

    To contact Xbox Support use
    support.xbox.com/contact-us

    Did get a message on my xbox account that says:

    "Your account needs to be more secure. This is the only way we can send your security codes: And then a long number. "

    I have done all they said, Set it up by email, Did verify my email with a securiy code from another email.

    Then it says that they are waiting for a verify of all this..

    WHAT THE *** SHOULD I DO???

    Very very very thankful for an answer who can help me, Must play my fifa...

    Account Security.

    so you have to contact accounts.live.com and open an ticket to reset the password to the windows live id

    the email doesn't have to be valid however you do need to verify who you are
