Will an UK 2100 points code work on all PAL accounts and/or consoles? My portuguese account specifically?

Thanks in advance!

Yes any PAL code will work on any european account. As long as your console was bought in Europe you should be fine using it

Pretty much, if you buy points for your region, they should work on your console. Excluding points going from US/Canada

UGH tell me about it, I live in Canada and bought points when I visited the States but they don't work and never will as far as I know... I'm holding onto the card anyway.

I also bought the messenger pad and it comes with a really strange mic... it has the voice on/off button up halfway on the cord... are all of the American mikes like that?

You're more than welcome to pass the card to me :p

But in regards to the headset, that design's only on the ones that're made for the chatpad because the normal headsets wont plug into it. Sucks when the chatpad headset breaks because you can't buy that version on it's own. I'm constantly changing from normal headset to chatpad.

OMFG YOU CAN PLUG THAT HEADSET INTO THE CHATPAD?!!?!
THAT WOULD MAKE ME USE MY CHATPAD, I HARDLY EVER HAVE BECAUSE IT'S TOO MUCH WORK TO SWITCH IT WITH MY HEADSET!!

Sorry for the caps, I was excited.
This is my 1000th post but I am off to delete an old post so I stay at 999 forever. Should be fun.

EDIT: Mission complete.

It should work fine. I bought a Microsoft Points card from Germany and it worked fine back in the UK.:)

They actually do make compatible headsets, or at least ones that plug into one hole. Madcatz (I think) makes them, EB sells them.
