    This is PurdeeRicky.

    Well I wasn't phished. I know what phishing looks like.

    My account was compromised however. I still haven't got my account back.

    The odd thing is it still shows that I was logged in 5 hours ago when I got on my Xbox.

    The last person I spoke with was saying my account became corrupt and basically saying I'm SOL though my investigation is still open.

    i don't think you heard correctly

    first

    yes this applies to ALL regions

    the only option is to create a different account HOWEVER with the correct info for region locked content

    as long as you keep the old account on the console you can still download and use the account and download purchased dlc

    all dlc can be used by all profiles as long as the purchasing gamertag is signed in or on the purchasing console

    2nd to take advantage of promotions you need to have an active creditcard in your region

    other then using a prepaid australian membership card or ms points it is not possible to buy nz ms point cards on a australian account

    Uh oh... that shouldn't have happened.

    I’m getting “region” errors

    In order to have the best experience on the marketplace, make sure that your account region and physical location match. Your account region was set when you first set up your Gamertag and can be checked by going to
    https://billing.microsoft.com and clicking on “Personal Information”.

    If you currently live in one of the newly added LIVE enabled regions, you can perform a one-time
    region transfer on your account.
    IMPORTANT: This region transfer is permanent and irreversible. Please make sure you pick the appropriate region and read all instructions before finalizing this transfer.



    NZ is not a new xbox live region

    Region change

    Ms points are region locked to the region they were purchased in

    Government regulations do apply its copyright and distibution rights

    What is allowed in the us is not nessarily allowed in uk or Canada

    Like Netflix us is not allowed in Canada due to the CRTC requirements

    Nor is us films in Netflix allowed in uk due to distibution rights you need uk Netflix

    Region change

    Gold isn't region free just like Microsoft points aren't.

    It is split up into sections, North America (so the OP should be able to use a USA Gold on a Canadian account), Europe (I have a UK account but lived in Sweden for 6 years and used my UK account nomally. Now I live in the USA and Microsoft have all but blocked
    my account from buying anything because they won't even let me add UK points anymore so I have a 6 year old account, 100k+ GamerScore, thousands of GBP worth of DLC invested in it and because Microsoft won't allow you to change region on your account it is
    now next to useless. Starting a new account is NOT an option when you spent so much money on DLC when Microsoft clearly CAN allow region changes like they did with the new territories that the OP mentioned.) and Asia.
