Trouble with Premium Membership

    Trouble with Premium Membership

    Well, I'm having a bit of trouble with the premium membership I just purchased. I bought it via this site, instead of grabbing it with my 360 on live, and apparently the Premium Membership I bought isn't coupled with my Xbox Live account. Oops. I'm using my windows live ID "jimb@eterna-soft.com" to log in here, and my Xbox Live account (SphericalJames, lol) is coupled with my "jimthegreat1012@yahoo.com" Windows Live Account. So when I try launching XNA connect from my 360, I get the "Xbox Live Account doesn't have a valid Premium Membership, Error: 5" error. Great! So I tried changing the Windows Live account associated with my Xbox Live account, but of course Xbox Live would have none of that. "Windows Live ID already associated with something else!" Soooo, is there any way I can associate the Premium Membership I just bought with my Xbox Live account? Or can I get a refund?

    Or did I just throw $50 out the window? X3

    If anyone could help me out quickly, I'd appreciate it, even if the answer is "you did just waste $50." If that is the answer, I'll just have to buy another membership I guess, but I'll hold off on that until someone can confirm whether or not I actually just screwed myself over, hahah.

    Thanks guys! ;)

    Edit: Ah, apparently when I signed up with this Windows Live ID, it made me create an Xbox Live Silver account to go with it, though I was never charged for it. I thought Silver accounts cost something? Anyway, I just signed in on my 360 with the gamertag xna.com had me create, so everything is running fine now. :)
    Silver accounts are free, right? ^^;

    And woo, my crappy "move the box around the screen" game had the honor of showing up on my tv right now! I'm very happy! =D
    Thanks, XNA team!

    Yes, Silver accounts are free. There are some limitations though, there are some marketplace downloads that you can't access (RE5) and you cannot play online over XBox Live. I can't remember if there are any other restrictions though.
