Think I read the other day that Amazon require a US billing address on Xbox live cards now, so think you can rule them out?
Easy enough to add a second US address to your Amazon account, unless this has changed very recently?

Ah, was unaware you could do that - just recall reading something along those lines.
I think this thread should help you:

See Danny's link
I get mine from offgamers.com, buying the US card. Login using Xbox.com/en-US, redeem code and I'll have it in USD. Buy games and it auto download to my Xbox One, no problem.
I have noticed though, at work, it doesn't automatically change my Xbox to GB region, at home it does. However if you keep going back into xbox.com/en-US, it eventually 'concedes' and stays as that throughout the duration of logging in. Weird but it worked.

One feature I do miss is being able to play your own music during gameplay.
Like for example I'd love to be able to stream some of my own music during Forza.
Is this when someone tells me it's entirely possible?

I still haven't properly used 'snap' or tried 'snapping' properly
So I could in theory play music then snap to the game?
How does this snapping thingy work, can someone put it to me in laments terms? What is the point of it?
It basically runs another app at the side of the screen whilst you're doing... whatever on the main part of the screen. So you can be playing a game, watching TV, browsing or whatever takes your fancy, and have another app 'snapped' to the side of the screen. I regularly do it with TV / Skype. Very handy.

Ah I've seen that.
I find it annoying not having the game in full screen though? No way to let it run in the background?
Unfortunately no.
That's why I upgraded my TV to something mahoosive so when snapping, I still get decent viewing screen estate.
You got the kinect? If so, shouting Xbox snap "Music" is easy. If not, via controller: http://support.xbox.com/en-GB/xbox-one/system/multitask-with-snap

Liking the X1 so far, the white console is better looking than I imagined, and not so large that it looks out of place next to my other stuff. Was worried it was gonna look huge
Sunset Overdrive and Forza Horizon 2 are my favs so far, got Assassin's Creed unity downloading couldn't resist the £23 CdKeys price. Game is huge, so play this tomorrow if it has downloaded by then lol.
Yeah overall the X1 is a decent console, looking forward to Halo 5 and a new Gears Of War game !!

See I could use my projector, 92"...so its not like I'll be short of a screen.
But I LOVE stuff to be full screen..it would bug me a lot...hah

You had me frantically googling then!
Lol, it will come, I bet we get a sneak peak at something Gears related at E3.
To many games to play already tbh, if Halo 5 comes 2015 I would be happy with Gears Of War in 2016.

I'd love a new DiRT game

It's all about Mass Effect 4 for me, BioWare have shown they can still produce the goods with the new Dragon Age, so I have everything crossed for my favourite franchise.
I am looking forward to that too - I know it'll be a new story and all, so I sincerely hope they don't muck it up with stupid ending like ME3 - all my previous game decision meant pluck all!
