Japanese Xbox Live Trial Membership Card

[hermosaguy]

Hey, I'm curious if anyone has one of those 48 hour trial cards they aren't using. I am trying to d/l maps for Operation Troy and I need a Japanese Gold Account...Silver Account will let me buy all the damn number decals I want, but won't let me d/l the extra maps. I'm hoping the lack of maps are why I can't even find a single match online. Thanks in advance!

Subscriptions aren't region locked like points are.

So a regular trial code accessed for a Japanese Gold Account should do the trick?

Any trial should work with any account, yes.

Thanks! Gonna see if I can dig one up if I can find my Halo 3 case...

So I find a code...use it on my J-account...registers fine, tells me to sign out and sign back in...and still no luck! It says silver account still. Anyone have this problem before?

Edit: Ahh, the fine print...must be redeemed by 06/30/2009

I wish I had seen this thread earlier.

The 48-hour passes won't register you as Gold, they simply allow online play. Anything that requires gold will not be opened up.

Found a work around to get one of the packs...create a new japanese account, decline to join live twice and get a trial gold membership. Worked! But getting cockblocked on the other pack. If anyone has an extra 1 month trial code let me know!
