It works

**While this may not technically be illegal, it certainly circumvents the terms of use and the manufacturer's intention. I don't think it's an appropriate subject of discussion for GameSpot. Thanks. -Sophina**

Yea and the demo is coming out sometime during the 5th which it already is over in Japan(I'm guessing 2 P.M PST time since MS goes on that time) but it works and the only problem is you have to find your way around in Japanese.

the res 5 demo is in english but since live itself is all ***, it takes some effort to find all their arcade games and other demos.

Ah ok I see, I went straight onto an english profile after downloading so I thought the other person was saying its all in japanese.

I'm just confused why they wouldn't release it in the US at the same time, RE is (obviously with threads like this popping up already) just as popular in the US as it is in Japan now, yet we're forced into stooping to pretend we live in Japan... I guess I don't know where I'm going with this... I'm just mad I'm still at work and not home pretending to be Daisuke Matsuzaka yet.

No, but you do get some exclusivity for some brand new ones, I think they were saying if you set-up a Japanese account you get a free month so you should be in anyhow.

Someone else told me the same happened to them. I think LIVE may(not sure yet) have realized what was going on and stopped it. A bunch of my friends got the demo and the ones who I told at school are saying that it's telling them that too.

I got it to download but now it's telling me "This disc's region code is incorrect for this console" ...I don't even have a disc in at this point, anyone know a non-modding fix? Again, I have the demo on my console, completely downloaded, but I just can't launch it.
