    Opa, tudo bem? Cara eu sei que é errado , mas no caso para me inscrever na live eu utilizei um endereço não brasileiro, pelo menos tive que usar isso para comprar uma conta gold na live. Acho que um monte de gente faz isso também. Visita o Portal xbox brasileiro ou sharpgames.net, lá tu pode encontrar casos semelhantes. =p

    Hello! I know this is wrong, but i used a fake address to sign up and register my gold live account. I guess that there are many other people doing this too ,though. Visit the brazillian xbox portal or sharpgames.net, there you can find similar cases.


    The most strange thing is that brazilian universities which have msdn academic alliance offer us  XNA academic accounts, and we cant register them with our addresses( we have to use fake ones ).
    Sorry by the way, just wanted to explain him in an easier way. =p

    The xbox.com site also confirms no XBL in brazil  http://www.xbox.com/en-US/live/countries.htm

    Maybe you can get it if you give them a fake address but that doesn't mean everything will work.

    No need to apologise - we are more than happy to have national speakers help others in their language as long as they provide the English alongside so as to help everyone else too.

    Thanks. Glad to know that foreign languages are welcome. =p

    let me just draw out a little bit this conversation...
    The fact is that its so hard to find someone which speaks your native language and has an advanced knowledge with XNA that we get excited when we find someone(surely it becomes a lot more comfortable when you can exchange ideas with your most fluent language ).This get even more exciting when we are in a project where NO ONE in your region knows the technology and you have to deploy it to a big company in short time. hehe... Until now, the creators club was main source for my learning.

    I hope XNA technology reaches even more places , and that's what im trying to do , teaching the basics. Im Glad to know that a lot of people here are interested in learning XNA, however, we still lack of people with  huge knowledge =p ( and im far from being one )

    wew, thanks again.

    The problem is:
    your Xbox Live account is registered from another address (let's say US). When you try to pay for XNA CC, you probably try to use a credit card from Brazil.
    Until sometime at the beginning of this year, this was possible, but since about February, you can only use a credit card from the same country as your Xbox Live account's address.
    I didn't find any official word about this, but other people found this out through experiments, since it happened to lots of people trying to purchase MS points.

    Haha, this is funny, because monhths ago there was a webcast about xna( here in brazil ) *by  some microsoft employees* and they invited us to play through live Halo 3 after the webcast. I just wonder which address they used when they registered their accounts =p . However, many people buy XBL gold liscences through alternative markets, like ebay.
