Anyone getting trouble with XBL Marketplace?

[Exar_Kun]

So all along everything is working normal with XBL and my local credit card and suddenly today, the day the IRON MAIDEN song pack comes out for Rock Band 2 I try to load up some points in XBL and suddenly it can't be bothered processing my credit card anymore. Has this happened to anyone else?

I never had any problems before. I got some small hope when I saw amazon had an online store i could buy the points from but apparently they're scanning my location and not liking it, even though i use a us billing address for amazon. Can I outfox them somehow with a proxy to make it seem I'm in the U.S.?
HELP! Iron Maiden awaits.

I get that same problem as well.  M$ will happily debit my credit card for XBL renewal, but not allow me to
use that same card for buying points on XBL itself.  you have to use the same process outlined in the 'Everything Xbox 360'
thread for creating a proxy to either buy points directly on XBL, or from Amazon.

That region limiting has gotten rather gay now.  Its beginning to annoy me.

That's the thing though, I've never had problems buying points until yesterday. I've got tons of rock band downloadable tracks as well as two of the fallout 3 DLC. All bought with points directly through the console.

Either way, it looks like your problem is now my problem at any rate, I'll check out the instructions in the thread. Thanks Arc.
