Xbox Live Marketplace and Live Arcade Discussion Part II

Re: Xbox Live Marketplace and Live Arcade Discussion Part II

I lived in england when I was a kid...the post code (british for zip code) for Ascot, England is SL59AZ....apparently they changed the phone number set up from when I was a kid though (my phone number was 5 digits long then, 24968 if I remember correctly). According to wikipedia a working set up for London is:

020 0003 xxxx

I haven't gotten to this part yet though, so I can't comment on it.

Hope this helped.

Thanks bud, the SL59AZ worked, appreciated, now just waiting for a commercial during the game to start DL'ing

Dunno if it's new in general or just new to the marketplace but there's a Gears of War trailer up. Does it remind anyone else of the Donnie Darko ending sequence?

Once I create a German account, and download the demo. Will I be able to access the demo on my actual Xbox Live account, or will I have to stay logged into the German account?
