    regrettably bank debit cards (in Canada) don't. Yes you can get Visa/Bank debit cards but if i am not mistake if you don't pass the credit checks for a credit card you won't be eligible for a Visa/Bank debit card. Straight bank debit cards don't work for online sales either AFAIK

    You're whining because Microsoft is supporting credit cards only on their USA site? I have news for you -- 99% of the population has a credit card.
