#1. We DON'T want to see Bill Gates in short shorts with shin - guards playing soccer!

#2. Sorry, I can't help you here, but PLEASE, PLEASE, don't teach Bill Gates how to play soccer! Think about of picture of Bill Gates, add short shorts with shin - guards pasted on every single background on every single computer! THE HORROR OF IT ALL!

I don't know what kind of soccer you play, but we don't wear short shots.

But yeah, that is a pretty disturbing sight.

Well, I don't know much about Xbox Live, but if all else fails, you can always try the tunnelling programs. Granted, they're not the best things to use, and the lag might be bad, but at least you have something. Sorry if I'm not much help, but I feel for you man.

I'd go to the Microsoft website and spam mail them with suggestions to get Live in South America, being it that you have 3 more months before Halo 2 it wouldn't take them that long to get service down there. They are the richest company in the world and it wouldn't take them long to get it set up, plus it'll just make them more money. I do know they are trying to make XBL global so I am sure they plan on having it there sometime. I'd suggest calling Microsoft again and actually asking them why it's not in Brazil and figuring out all I could then going from there.

Do you think it would be possible to leave my account active here in the US and try to access it from Brazil?

RIght now, that seems like my only hope. But if that does not work, I guess I'll have to stick with the tunneling programs... I'd prefer XBL due to the ranking system, friends, downloadable content, etc. etc. etc.

Beggers cant be choosers.

To my misfortune, it seems like my Xbox Live days will be cut short during its prime. That means no online Halo 2 for me... :(

Here is what's happening: I am moving back to my country, Brazil, this August. I am going to attend college down there, and I'm extremely elated about that. I'm also sad, though, because I'm leaving behind a multitude a good friends. Many of my buddies are addicted to Halo as much as I am, and I will cherish the good times we had at those Lan parties *sigh*.

Anyway, they wanted me to make sure I took my Xbox and Xbox Live with me. My box is on the top of my checklist, and just to make sure, I called up the 1-800 Xbox number to check up on Xbox Live in South America. That's when I got stabbed in the heart.

The guy whom I talked to said that Microsoft does not provide XBL servives in South America. The reason for this, I do not know. To me, this does not make sense. Down in Brazil, high-speed internet is almost as popular as it is here in the US. Microsoft, why do you neglect us? We promise to teach Bill Gates how to play soccer if you provide XBL services to South America. Please>



But I think there is hope. Here is my idea:

Do you think that if I left my Xbox Live account activated here in the US, and I tried to access it from Brazil, do you think that would work? The service would still be coming from the US, except I would be accesing it from down there. I'm sure if it worked, it would be laggy, but I can live with that. I'd take lag over no Halo 2 any day of the year.

What do you guys think? I know this might not be a good way to start a first post, begging for help and all, but my situation is dire.

I refuse to believe my XBL days are over until it has been proven so. I hope my idea work...

Thank you for any help, guys.
Take care

It might be here is my idea, Call MS again and ask the same question but be more specific country wise anyway. Then call again to make sure and the once more after that. Different people have different answers.
