Membership Issues

I want Xbox Live, so I bought an Ethernet cable and went through the process, only when I get to Locale, Language, Email Address screen, it says my Locale is United States, but I'm in the UK. I have tried everything to change it. From changing my Locale on my dashboard to UK, (It was already on it.) Changing my Windows Live account to UK, still US Locale. How do I change it to UK?

re: Membership Issues

If you've changed both your Windows Live ID and you changed it on the dashboard, the only reason I can think of that it would still say your from the United States is if your IP address suggests it. If you somehow have an internet service provider that is based out of the U.S., then that might be the reason why.

I don't think it really affects anything anyways though.

It wouldn't allow you to create the account due to locale not matching your address? Try creating an account on Xbox.com maybe. If you were trying to use one of the free one-month gold trials, I don't think you can do that though.

Once you create the account on Xbox.com, you can recover it through the dashboard.

re: Membership Issues

Done. Haven't tried to recover it yet, as mum is hogging TV. xD
Edit; Its working fine. But, Its got a new profile for Online. So my original profile isn't online, and it had 3265 Gamerscore. Is there a way to merge them, or do I have to do all the achievements again?

I don't think there's a way to merge them unfortunately. Getting back 3000 shouldn't be too bad though. One of my accounts got suspended so I went and regained the majority of my achievements back, and it wasn't really that hard the second time around.
