How to Get Xbox LIVE Region Locked Downloadable Content (DLC)
Published by forahobby on 2009-02-23
Download music video's, movies and other cool downloadable content (DLC)that only American's or Japanese can get.
Introduction
 If your as mad as I was about the lack of download content being offered our Australian and Canadian HQ Xbox LIVE Users this tutorial may help. Although this info is very old (2005) I thought I had better share it.. Sorry it took so long guys but as you can see I have been building the HQ's and gaming! lol
USA Xbox LIVE Users - THIS TUTORIAL WON'T HELP YOU, SORRY!
Follow the instructions below to get access to nearly all the USA region content you haven't seen. You can also sign-up for a free Xbox LIVE SILVER JAPAN region account. This works great when new arcade games are released and you want to check them out.
Please Note
1. You cannot download videos from the video marketplace unless you are running a proxy. A proxy can fool the video marketplace into thinking you are from the USA. All you need to do is purchase a proxy server in the states.
2. You cannot transfer M$ Points onto your American SILVER ACCOUNT unless you purchase point cards directly from the United States. Credit Cards are also region locked and coded so don't bother. I normally just have friends send me cards! Easy!
What you need
- PC with Internet Access
- Xbox 360
Let's Get Started
1.Go to www.xbox.com with your browser and signup for a new XBOX LIVE SILVER account. When filling in the form you must choose USA (United States) as your Country or origin.
Be sure to make you new tag something you wont forget. Maybe put a HQ in front to show your support for our site. This way you wont forget it if you ever purchase a M$ points card for this account to get content before anyone else in your area does. :)
2. Once you have created and verified your new Xbox LIVE Silver account with your country set to America log on to your XBOX 360 Dashboard using your new gamertag & password.
3. When you have finally logged in you will notice a huge difference with much more DLC content then you have ever seen before. Australian Xbox LIVE users still have not seen a VIDEO MARKETPLACE at all. The only content aussies receive are game demos and trailers but they are normally released later then the USA!
4. Thats it! Go browse around and download some new content.
Download music video's, movies and other cool downloadable content (DLC)that only American's or Japanese can get.
