    I doubt anyone will know the answer to that for sure but I can give you an educated guess based on experience.

    I've downloaded Indie games with a US account to my hard drive. Those games can then be accessed on the HDD by any gamertag.

    Therefore, I am guessing that if you downloaded GRAW2 from a US account, you should be able to access it from a European GT. However, I would be more concerned about the format of the game being in NTSC and not PAL, could your setup handle NTSC?

    Hit or miss for me with my US/UK accounts, rule of thumb is if it will not work it won't let you download it.

    By the way OP I was in tesco earlier and spotted GRAW going for 10 euro can't recall if it was 1 or 2 though.

    I thought M$ stopped data sharing between gamertags on single consoles...ie Trenched - even if its Dl'ed and bought on a fake US account wont be fully playable on your irish gamertag.
