    I tried to sign into my 360 on my main account, but that wouldn't work. I did manage to sign in with a second account, though. Could the custom gamer pic I use be the problem?
    Either turn your recurring billing off or on (depending on what it's set to currently) and try again.
    Thank you, that did the trick.

    Welcome, it happens to me all the time! Just change it back when it happens again, because it almost certainly will.

    Bought, played, and completed NCAA March Madness 09, and I just gotta say it's so weird that game is still listed, and that it went on sale.

    The cover athlete, Kevin Love, has grey hair now!

    Had a great time with it.
    Even crazier when all other NCAA sports games were removed for purchase years ago after the O'Bannon v. NCAA lawsuit yet somehow this one slipped through the cracks. Of course, that has all been resolved and the football games are coming back, but as of today, this is still the last remaining NCAA Basketball game available to buy on a digital marketplace.

    Amazing sale. My heart tells me the remaining digital Activision 360 catalogue will be made BC since I've noticed they've been absent on these sale lists so far.

    Fantastic sale but is anyone having trouble with the download speed on the 360? Two days into downloading 2.3GB worth of Tropico 3. May just be the bandwidth limitations on the 360, but no trouble getting things sorted on the XB1 or PC. Strange stuff.

    Oh man I forgot about that! I seriously have no idea how this game is still listed, let alone on sale. Such an oddity, I had fun completing it.

    2 things:-

    1) Managed to buy Ridge Racer 6 on a UK account by faffing about with regions, but it keeps stopping the installation at 1.74GB - Looked online, and other than people not being able to play unless their account in the US, no one mentioned having issues installing it - anyone know what the problem is?
    2) Trying to buy a couple of the US-exclusive titles on the 360 marketplace website, and indeed an actual 360, has been a fruitless endeavour - It keeps saying "Sorry, this offer is not vaild in your region" even tho I've used a VPN and have set my account to the US, and they're simply not showing up on my 360, even when I have my region set to US. Is there a fix, or am I just pissing in the wind?
    "Wasn't that fun?" "I'm sorry if I hurt anyone." "Better luck next time, don't worry so much."

    If the games are US NTSC-exclusive, you'll never be able to buy or play them on PAL console, VPN won't help, it's just impossible. They can only be played on US NTSC console. Examples: Adrenalin Misfits, Air Conflicts: Secret Wars, NCAA Basketball 09: March Madness Edition

    You can add Resident Evil 4 to the list too as I have a US account and am unable to purchase the game on a PAL xbox. Same for dishounered.

    I can't make purchases but can sign in on my Xbox 360. On marketplace.xbox.com I see it cannot find my payment information and I cannot add a method of payment, but I've made multiple purchases before. On the Xbox 360, it says cannot load my credit card, I should buy in my Microsoft account.
    Is this the sign-in issue being discussed?
    I have turned on recurring billing and no change.
    Anybody else seeing this or any tips?

    Xbox 360 Marketplace purchasing seems to be broken right now... HTTP 500 Internal Server Error on their side it seems.

    im trying to buy ANY AND ALL GAMES THAT FEATURE MUSIC INCORPORATION THAT YOU DOWNLOAD. like incorporates it like Ssx tricky could or gta v mixing it into radio. Did Metal Gear 5 let you do something like that. Something like that that i would miss from the great delisting would be tragic.

    Yeah I just tried buying cars 3 amd metro last light but it can't find my account balance even though I redeemed a 50 dollar gift card. Hopefully it gets resolved soon and doesn't happen during the last sale... honestly that last sale should start at the beginning of july to avoid any problems
    if u have ez games on your gamercard dont b a hypocrite and stop others from enjoying the same games and try not 2 spend more than 4 dollars for them

    IIRC it does, you can find cassette tapes with licensed songs you can listen to while playing.

    No! I want my burned music to play. Something like burnout well the music swells or drops out based on situations. There were some intergration of your PERSONAL music that i remember hearing about. I want to get all those games especially if they are on sale.
  • Posted today at 01:00
    Cant get either the marketplace site to work (just loads infinitely when i click on buy and says "Uh oh... that shouldn't have happened. It appears you've found a glitch in the system. Please try again later.") or on the 360 itself where the game info seems to load, picture and all but it just spins for a while before giving me an error that says "your credit card info couldnt be retrieved." Happening to anyone else?

    Hoping DLC goes on sale with the last batch... particularly Dishonored and Dragon Age: Origins.

    For anything else, the only thing I'd really be looking for would be to get digital versions of some of the games I have physical copies of for $1-5.
    Especially Dragon Age: Origins. The fact there isn't a DLC bundle or digital complete edition for Xbox is an absolute shame.

    The market has been down for quite a while now.
