Payment method for other region's xbox Live Marketplace.

[DrTrouserPlank]

Is it possible to use a (UK in this case) non-residential credit card to purchase games-on-demand from other countries XBox Live Marketplace?

I want to buy raiden fighters aces from the JPN store. I can sort out the IP address issues and I have an NTSC-J machine, but will it accept my UK card as payment?

I don't know why, but the option to use paypal doesn't appear when I look at payment options using my japanese account. With my UK account Paypal is given as an option. I don't really want to get into buying foreign points cards because the mark-up on them makes me want to weep.

I think it should be okay. You should be able to use your card to pay the yen required for the game. Just know its gonna be expensive.

Do you know what the usage allowances of games on demand is? I.e. will I be able to play the game on a different account to the one that bought it, on the original machine that the game was downloaded on?

Japanese accounts don't have any Paypal feature (and even on my non-JP account, it doesn't work).

A UK card won't work, you'll have to buy with points.
