Thanks for the reply. I still don't understand why that is a thing, though. As a consumer, I want the least amount of friction to buy stuff... As a gamer, I care---if I spent time and money in 'unlocking achievements'---that that history and identity is portable (also friends, guilds, etc.). Also, this might be a pet peeve of mine, but because I know other languages, I prefer to hear and listen to the original voice actors in both movies and games. Back then, I also owned an Xbox (US-bought), and I had also played the first couple of Halo games in English... so I wasn't really interested in the translated versions[0]. So, now that I have moved to a third country, I haven't considered buying any gaming consoles, as I feel that they were trying to pigeonhole the things I was able to buy with my account (that can't be migrated to different countries).
