Can't download content with points...HELP

    I just bought some points from flea-bay so that i can download maps for COD:WAW.

    They were from a reputable seller and it said in the description that the points will work in Europe.

    I went to buy the maps and got the message: "This item isn't available from your current location.":(

    I moved from Scotland last year and the account is still based in the UK as i didn't want to loose my gamertag and my friends list. Does this make a difference with the region and buying content??

    Any help would be appreciated. Cheers

    Edit:
    Just tried to buy a song for Rock Band and no problem, just seems to be the Map Pack 1 on COD.

    Is the map pack a regional thing?

    Not that i am aware of. My neighbour 2 doors down got the map pack the other day. The only difference i can tell is my 'UK' registered xbox and the points that i got on ebay.

    Got nothin to do with the points its ur gamertag profile, its set to uk region. I started a thread last week on this.take a look at page 2 or 3 it'll be on there. I set up a new gamertag.(one of free ones wi xbox) bought more points and d/l the maps. They work on the console for all profiles so i still use my own tag. Mocrisoft told me on phone and by email that there is no way at all to change location or region on gamerTag.

    I had the same problem but I rang customer care and they had it sorted the following day. Not sure what they did but I kept getting the same message for nearly a week, rang them and the following afternoon it allowed me to download it. Was very strange...
