    Why do we not get the downloads on the marketplace at same time as the Americans? If I'd known how better their marketplace is, I would've given my location as America! I want to all of the Oblivion downloads!

    Make a second tag, set region to america, and link it to a diff net passport account. Bingo, you have american marketplace.

    I went and created a US account yesterday to see what extras I could get hold of. Oblivion had an extra quest that you could buy for 150 points which was all that I could see different, I think we have the pimped out hourse armour already didn't we?

    There were a few extra free picture packs and theme downloads that I found which we do not get and downloading them using the US account did not seem to prevent me from accessing them using my regular account as well so I presume that would also be OK for any agme adons that you might get as well.

    I haven't been on live in bout a week because of my stupid exams but the last time i was on the US had the extra oblivion stuff, many many more trailers for films and the like (Nachooooooooo) and extra games like FFXI and superman IIRC, with downloads, nothing really significant though...

    The annoying thing is that if you wanna buy things from the american marketplace you've gotta buy points on a second acc. And no not all downloads are profile free, Bethsoft states that the downloads will work on all profiles on one console, but other extra content might not.

    If your quick, basically before the US wakes up, then you might be able to get yourself some free points for your US account. Go to http://www.richerdeeperbroader.com/xbox/ and click on the 'Whats Up' link and then the 'Come get some' and you should be able to win yourself 500 free points.

    They will only work for US based accounts though.
