Before anyone even tries to flame me yes i have tried using the search function and have failed to find a solution with it .. anyways ive been trying to download a few games off the games marketplace but some of them seem to give me a message that says "this download is not available in your location" does this mean my 360 is not compatible with the game or do i need to create a US account just to access it ?

that's means the games is not available yet or will not be available for the country where ur gamertag registered to. Yeah ... u need to create US account just to download it if the game is available for US. smile.gif

nope, it's region restricted via IP address... if you got the wrong region account, the item won't appear at all in the marketplace. in this case, the item is there meaning your account is the correct region, but your IP address is wrong. need to do some VPN tunnelling, checkout the Gears of War 2 thread on how to do it

yerp correct like what hikaru x said, it is lock by ur region ip address. even tho u have us account, if u in malaysia, u still cant download those game or map pack.

what i did was easier than setting up vpn or tunneling. use web proxy instead. but u still need to have US account.

1) i use web proxy with US ip address to login to xbox.com. MS will detect that i login to xbox.com from US.
2) purchase game that u want thru xbox.com. u will not encounter any problem with ip lock. ur download will be added to queue and will be downloaded once u turn on ur console and login to the us account..

i use web proxy from this website.

Waaait bro..

i understand your logic.
Curious

When u say download off xbox.com
means u can download the xbox live game thru the computer? (using vpn)
if so... How u put into the 360?

He means you can queue up the things you want to download from xbox.com
Then when you sign in your xbox live, the things will start to download to your console HDD

Thaaaats right, cause our accounts under singapore, everything will be under singapore money terms, if u log in with a US account itll be the US price...

I had a heart attack when i saw 1 yr gold 88dollars. i went WTF. then i realized SGD.
Safe!

yerp when u download, it doesnt care anymore about ur location.

i managed to download few things using this trick especially cod waw map pack 3.

and if u have fren that lives in us, u can ask them to login for u n queue up things to download.

regarding the points,
i purchase it at maximuscard.com too.

ahh

now make sense cause it was too expensive for 22 USD

yup, our accounts are mostly under Singapore hence the reason 22 SING DOLLAR

22 SGD makes more sense and more mathematical justification biggrin.gif

i was wondering how everyone else bought and downloaded games off xbox arcade biggrin.gif

meanwhile, maximuscard.com is a "cheaper" more trustworthy place to get points?
