Switching Regions for XBL

    I'm currently in Dubai for the foreseeable future and I brought my X-Box over with me, because I couldn't live without it :). Just got the internet set up over here as well, and XBL is working fine, but I'm still on my old account, and the connection quality is shocking, which I assume is something to do with the fact that I'm connecting to European games from over here. Is there anyway I can get my region changed to over here without setting up a new XBL account, I want to keep all my gamer points and friends list.

    I'm not sure if the region you specify in your XBL account dictates what servers you connect to. I've a US account and it seems no slower than the IE account I use.
    Once you set your region, you cant change it. If you log into your account here , https://billing.microsoft.com/ you'll see the country you cant change. I believe you can ring MS helpdesk to get this changed.

    The region on the actual Xbox 360 is set to UK by default here and is changeable.
    Its your account region that Dave and syboit are talking about.
