Even though I have a Japanese 360, a Japanese bank and card and all of that shit, and live in Japan, I can't buy digital stuff. I want to buy Mushihimesame Futari Black Label, but it won't let me. Fuck digital games. Good thing I can play the game using the disc, but it seems that I can't get Black Label.
Amazon Japan reviews on gift cards are saying that they no longer work on the 360 as of a few months ago, and for some reason I can't buy them on Amazon anyway since it says my region is wrong... yeah, can't buy Japanese Xbox cards in Japan because Japan is apparently the wrong region. Not sure what is going on, but this is very annoying.
I would assume it might be still possible, but the X360's store, presuming, isn't as stable as it used to be back in the day. However, yeah, you can't use your wallet funds over the X360 web store, since it requires a credit/debit card (or paypal) purchase in full (on the US side of things). You can use your wallet funds if you have a working X360 though and pay any remaining funds either with more gift card credit, or the rest with credit/debit card.
Either way, the Black Label DLC can still be purchased from a users region specific X360 store either from the web, or on console. Though with the Engrishy titled "Mushihimesama-hutari-Black-Lavel". But yeah, since you said you live in Japan, I dunno now. I was able to purchase Add-Ons and other stuff over my JP X360 account in the past when there weren't issues on buying from there back then. (Though most of it was payed back when they had it as Microsoft Points, up to the now standard region specific credit.)
