Armed Forces now have billing address option on Xbox Live

4.6
Members of the Armed Forces living in U.S. military bases or stationed overseas used to be faced with an unforeseen hassle when accessing Xbox Live -- due to their roving home, entering billing information could be a genuine pain. Thankfully, the problem has been alleviated, as Major Nelson has announced the arrival of three new options for credit card addresses, which allow the armed forces to register cards using their respective Military States.

These users can update their information now through their console or the billing section of Xbox.com, changing their billing address to AA (Armed Forces of the Americas), AE (Armed Forces Europe) or AP (Armed Forces Pacific). We're big fans of anything Xbox can do to make our military personnel's leisure time as convenient (and, well, leisurely) as possible.

TTG-MountianDew More Proof That Mircoshaft Are The Most Money Hungry Company Ever.

I Mean, The Armed Forces Do MORE Then Enough For Their Respective Countries, So Why Should They Have To Pay For Gold? Even Microsoft Points At That.


erm, i think everyone who says that they shouldn't pay is forgetting something... They chose to go into the army as their JOB. Everyone else has jobs, just theirs is more risky than others, but they chose to work in that profession i don't see why they should get any benefits as in free xbl gold just because they chose a specific career option.


Its because without their job, America wouldn't be where we are today. Its THE FORCES' strength that pushes America onwards, and for that, we should AT LEAST make them feel appreciated and give them bonuses. You cant be saying that people who work at Wal-Mart should get the same treatment as people who lost their legs, an arm, an eye, and suffered severe emotional trauma fighting in Vietnam or some other war? They are the reason we can sleep soundly in our beds.
it would be far to difficult for Ms to know who acctually was army personel and who was just a normal person, people would abuse the option of the armed forces option, and it was and is there choice to serve in the military, they never joined to get free things, they joined because they wanted to serve for there country. there job is no different from any other its just a hell of alot more work and more dangerous.

JoNZooM well that proves how bad the army really is.


How does that prove anything? If your stranded in the middle of nowhere in the middle east and you dont have any "credit cards" with you since your on the tour of duty and ONLY carry army equipment how is the Army bad? You can't just carry everyday things when your in a war. You wouldn't have the balls to even be in the army bro.


you dont know what it is saying. it is for the families not the soldiers people have to move over seas in some cases yes the soilders want carry a credit card dumb ass but its for the family you dont understand this is a good thing you people look at it like pointless cuz u live in one spot in the army families move all the time

Well, at least they now have the option to put in their details without any fuss, although, I can imagine this option will get abused if it's available to everyone.

That's Cool but it's probably only US Army it would be cool if they could access it for the Canadian Forces too
