Downloading games from Gold live using a U.S. account but living abroad.

If you are getting error code 80150017 while trying to download a game from your gold live U.S. account but are living outside the U.S., try this method instead of migrating your account or creating a new one. log into your account on xbox.com

tab the down arrow on games and select games with gold. select the game you want to download on the xbox360 and tab on the key that says download to xbox 360. It will then ask you to verify password. follow the prompts and it will cue the download. Now check
your xbox360 on your active downloads and you should be able to see the game you selected for download. Keep in mind that this is for xbox 360 games. That's the issue I had. Don't know if it will work for xbox 1 system. Hope this helps anyone who is living
in a different country but has their account based in the U.S.

How to Join Xbox LIVE

This is the final step before you start enjoying the most amazing entertainment experience on Xbox LIVE.

The process is free and easy to follow.

You only require an valid email address and a high-speed internet connection.

There are two Membership levels available: Free and Gold. You can read more about what you get with each membership level.

Before proceeding, confirm the following:

If you have a Zune or Games for Windows LIVE account, it means you already have an Xbox LIVE account! All you have to do is to download the account to your Xbox 360 console, sign in and start enjoying the Xbox LIVE experience.

If you have a Microsoft account, you can use it for your Xbox LIVE account.
Note: "Microsoft account" refers to what was formerly "Windows Live ID". It is the email address and password you need to sign into Microsoft services (including Xbox LIVE).

This means that if you already have a Messenger or Hotmail account, you automatically have a Microsoft account.

So, during registration for Xbox LIVE, if you are asked for an email address, enter your Microsoft account.

If you don't have a Microsoft account, you can sign up for a free account on your computer, or during the signing in process for Xbox LIVE.

If you decide to go for Gold Membership, you should have your credit card information ready before proceeding with the process of signing up for Xbox LIVE.

Steps to follow

1) On your controller, press Guide then select Join Xbox LIVE.

2) Follow the instructions on the screen on how to sign up for Xbox LIVE.

Note: Make sure that you enter your correct date of birth when signing up. This will be used to determine whether you get a child account or an adult account. Once the account is created, you cannot change the date of birth.
