    Wrong region Xbox Live code


    Hello,

    So at Christmas, I got a card with a code to redeem my Xbox Live membership. However, I just realized while trying to activate it, it is in a different language, and not from my region. Is there anything I can do about this, or am I SOL. Thanks.

    :)

    3, 12 month gold cards

    Gift cards are region free but xbox live codes aren't.

    Taken from the official support pages:

    Something went wrong. Sorry about that. Give it a try in a while

    If there are any issues with the Xbox Live service, try to redeem the prepaid code later.

    If there are no problems with the Xbox Live service, check the following:

    •The region for the code matches the region for your Xbox Live account. If you need to change your region, see Change your Xbox Live country/region in your billing information.

    •The billing information for your Xbox Live account is correct.

    •The region in your Xbox Live billing information matches the country where you currently live.

    •There's not an outstanding balance on your Xbox Live payment option.

    If you need to change the region for your Xbox Live account, go to account.xbox.com and then click Change my region.

    Blu Ray & DVD App Problems

    Shouldn't talk in absolutes at the best of times, but definitely not when it come to region coding nowadays

    It is probably his gamertag or console set to the wrong region

    Even back in the day DVD drives had the ability to change region a few times

    Wrong region Xbox Live code

    If it's for gold you can still try to redeem it. Those codes generally are not region locked. But if it doesn't work there really isn't much you can do since it would normally have to be returned to the retailer it was purchased from.

    3rd support ticket and still no help

    It doesn't matter much if you pick aa region you don't live in you cannot change to a region and not physically live there and not have issues with region locks

    The ip decides what is available to you

    Xbox support doesn't have info on region locked games it is an actual case for the publishers

    As they would only have access to the games info

    They are for connectivity support and account and billing and live support

    Not for game support

    From the sounds of it you either bought a wrong region code (canada or uk?)

    Because invalid codes don't show up unless the account region and code regions are different for membership codes

    Dlc codes will result in not available in your region

    You might want to check with the e-tailer or Amazon marketplace where the code is for

    Amazon marketplace tends to have 3rd party resellers

    Xbox Live Code redeemed in wrong Region

    Hello!

    My name is Dérek, I'm an independent platform consultant and I'm grateful for the opportunity to help you.

    Phillip, Unfortunately, there is no way to migrate the registration, my friend.

    You will have to wait for the gold to finish, or cancel and make the purchase in the correct region of your location, friend.

    I remain at your disposal if you have any further questions.
