I don't live in America, and as a result of that, I'm not able to download a lot of the things in the Marketplace. Does anybody know a way around it? I tried searching Google, but I don't know what to search, exactly... any help and info would be great.

BTW, I remember XxSTILL BORNxX posting something about this a while back, but I forgot what the topic was called, so if he/you could help me out I'd appreciate it :)

I don't think you can do it that way, since you will still have to sign in to your account.

Make a US XBL account. Just find an address of some restaurant or something and use that as your information.

My account's already a U.S. account; I made it in the States (that's not really relevant but I did) and it also has an American address (my sister's) linked to it... so I don't think making another one would work. I think that somehow M$ can detect where you are accessing XBL from, no matter where your account was made/what it's settings are.

I don't know, that's the only way I know. I thought people were making Japanese accounts this way to download the RE5 demo.

Nah I'm pretty sure there is; the friend I mentioned in my first post that knew a way to work around it lives in the same country as I do.

I don'tthink there is a way around it any our more. They fixed the problem about people getting other regions content. It has somthing to do with your isp address.

your ip address is country specidic. they can trace where your from via that. you would have to get your xbox live from a usa proxy server to get a usa ip address

Oh I didn't think of it that way... so I guess that would be the only way to do it, though it's not really convenient as I'm not even sure I can alter all the necessary parts of my connection via my Xbox for it to work, and even if I were able to, I'd have to keep updating the IP address as free proxies don't last forever :(

You can work arround this by using some sort of router, I think that MS finds out from what country you are by checking your ip and if you manage to change it to a us ip address it might just work.
