After really enjoying 1 vs 100 last week MS have moved the goal posts and are now preventing players who are not located in the UK from being able to play, even tho we have UK accounts and an address in the UK where any prizes we are unlikely to win could be sent to.
This is proper annoying! and means I will have to find another game to play.... again!
on top of that I am losing my belly button!!!
on a brighter note, my Norwegian residency permit came through today!

Region hell
Seems like 1 vs 100 is only available in France, Germany, UK, Ireland, Canada, and USA because of license restrictions from Endemol that owns the rights to the game show. To play your gamertag needs to be created in one of the countries above and it must be associated with a credit card issued in the same country. Also your IP address must have orgin in the same country as your gamertag was created.
Personally I think any player should be able to join any game from any region. I understand that sending off prizes might be a problem but as long as there is a disclaimer about only being able to win "non digital" prizes in your own region that would not be a problem.

It sucks that you can't play anymore
but I disagree with anyone being able to play the game from any region. It's bad enough that the americans are taking up our top spots and stealing places in the mob when they aren't allowed to claim the prize. They have had the game longer than us so have a higher score and more chance of being picked as The One yet we aren't allowed to join their games.

we are allowed to join their games
well a few weeks ago we were, lol, but they see that people are abusing the betas, so crackdown, but yes there is someone with a 55 million score and that can't be all European games for that score right?
Patience is something I taught myself, so I never know when it's going to run out?
