Now then,

I haven't used the 360 for ages. I logged on tonight and it told me my account had been suspended dur to my credit card having expired.

Fair enough, I gave it a new one, but it still says that I am suspended and to go and edit my payment profiles in Account Management (which I did, see above).

Does it need a day or so to re-synch, or something, and will I still get to use the 400 points I had saved for SG? How much does it cost for a years' Gold membership?

TIA.

I had problems with mine too. I think it needs a little while to accept.

If it hasn't done so in 24 hours, give support a call.

Gold Membership costs Â£39.99 for 12 months and Â£14.99 for 3 months.

Not sure exactly how much a Gold membership is but you only need a Silver (ie. free) account to download XBLA games, so you should still be able to grab SG with the points you already have. Assuming your details don't "re-synch" that is

What do you need a Gold account for, then?

For those games you play online against your mates

Only online multiplayer. XBLA, demos and chat are available with a Silver account which is free.

Here's what you get with Gold vs Silver:

These type of questions are better suited in either the main games forum or Bleatings.

Come, now, Stevie,

we are all excited about SG and, having been directed here, it's not unreasonable that we sort out our problems prior to release?

Maybe RiK or Jed or Gravy might set up a seperate "Get it Working" forum if it is an issue?

Nah, it's cool. Just thought I'd ask as the topic had come up. And as I might have a 360 sooner rather than later...

And then I'll try and work out points, so that I can buy SG.

Just be thankful I'm not a moderator.

Huzzah, finally a release date. I have Wednesday booked off work too.

I think I may have to take a photo of my friends list on Wednesday night, I suspect it may have a strange uniformity to it

.

Thanks to Jeff and Giles and everyone else involved for all the blood, sweat and tears it has taken to give us our gaming fun.

Cheers.

Huzzah, all sorted now, and it reverted me to a Silver membership so - bring it on

That's a thread topic, not a forum.
