Getting Zune to work in Ireland...in a different way

Hi,

As a self-professed lover of Zunes I am a proud owner of 2 Zunes. Only thing is I'm having a bit of a problem that I can't seem to solve. I have my computers location and an email address set to the US so I can access the Marketplace and Social features of the Zune software.

I also have an Xbox and ideally I'd like to link the two accounts. I don't want the xbox account to be set to the US though.

Is there anyway to use an Irish Email address on an Irish PC with those features enabled on Zune.

The only reason I ask is because I have seen Zune Videos on the Xbox marketplace. Similarly I saw screenshots where by changing the location of his pc, the poster enabled the marketplace within the software. However, the social feature (the one I want) was already enabled.

Thanks for any help lads!
