Yeah the more i think about the switch from ms to real money it looks like another control grab. Right now i can go online and buy any ms from any region to use on that region live account if i want. This new way the charge will likely bounce on my card because the address doesnt match or straighg up wont accept my card. Ms is making power grabs with all angles of this machine.
It worked ok for me when XBL wasnt supported here. The fact i cant change my accounts over and im stuck in the Aussie server forever, but may not be able to use it?
I tweeted this thread to both major nelson and xbox support and told them they better clear this up officially.
For me - it should be like this.

They ask you a question "have you changed regions - which reason is your credit card now from for billing purposes?"
then you select UAE. fill in your details - you can play.
Its not that hard. my UAE PS3 account is so easy - can use my CC and everything and sony has given good support for the PS3 so hopefully the PS4 is no different.
