Hey, my young cousin has got on Live recently but he put his location as United Kingdom and now when he trys to put in the redeem code, he is asked for a post code and obviousy we don't have one. I heard in this instance a new account must be created, is this true? Thanks.

I created a UK account a while ago specifically for downloading stuff that wasn't available to us here in Ireland. So you can get around this.

I basically used an business address and post code lifted right off google, It may also ask you for a telephone number which must also be UK.

Calling microsoft may help but I think they can be quite particular about these kind of things I believe.
