Whats available on Live Marketplace?

lafors

Seeing as someone figured out how to be able to connect up to marketplace from other continents (Asia, America etc.),
where can I find whats available on it, on the www?

I'm in work & I can't wait till I go home tonight, I want to see what I can download!

I did this a few weeks back after i noticed my mate had the trailers for MI:3 and Xmen3... at the moment... thats about the only real extra content available!! I was thinkin about this... and Game Demos are going to be pretty universal as there is a sort of universal age rating for the games... but it's movie demo's that are going to differ due to the different age rating between US and EU... we'll just have to wait and see as more content is launched.

If you change your microsoft passport accound to being in the US or Japan

Ie. set up two new passports, one saying your US, one saying your Japan, then set up two new xbox live silver accounts based on these, and you can switch to them to download stuff. There's not much out there anyway. Hopefully we'll see some demos out of Japan though, they've already got a few games over there in their launch line up that you can't get elsewhere, a wrestling game, a party game and tetris i think.

my passport was set up as a florida one a few years ago, cant really remember why, but when i first laoded xbox live for the 360 i noticed that it told my i was from florida & anytime i play its all stupid american kids on it (but that might just be the norm)

Will your Pal xbox play NTSC demos from US/JP though? or does Hi-Def negate all this?

If they put region coding on the demos then they wont work, but i doubt they would bother. So aslong as your tv supports NTSC then they should work............HD doesnt make one bit of difference. Im playing ridge racer ntsc (but region free) on my pal 360 on an old telly.

Tank Top Fever!

so there's a Ridge Racer demo available in America?

Must set up another account to get this

Afraid not, my imported US version of the game. Just mean that if a game/demo is region free it should work on pal.

How come your US ridge racer plays on your pal xbox360?
Are the games not regionilised??

Its optional, only EA and a few others are region locking the games I think.
