Amazon.co.uk has stopped shipping Xbox Live Points to outside the Uk, which is a bit troublesome for me because Xbox Live isn’t working in Portugal (yeah, how lame of them) and the unnoficial way to get an xbox live account is to create one with an adress from a Live enabled country.
In my case I chose England because it was fairly simple to buy the points from Amazon, but looks like i’ll have to resort to something else.

I still don’t get why I live in the only country in the damn European Union with Xbox Live, I mean, one of the strong selling points of the Xbox is the multiplayer games, the ability to download demos, games and addons thru the net and so on.
Looks like i’ll have to scheme some way to get an account from a near by country (like Spain) and import the Live points.

On another note, my Xbox 360 is finally giving signs of overheating, I was expecting this for some time but looks like the day has finally come. Guess I’ll have to look for some sort of cooling solution too.
