certain games/DLC are region locked... they'll detect your IP and if your IP is not from US, then they'll stop u from buying it

one way to buy those XBL region locked games/DLC from US is via VPN

using a US VPN, XBL will register you're using a US IP, hence allow u to purchase those games/DLCs

i know they giv u a msg mention the game not available in your region

on the other hand, i brought halo 3 theme worth 50 MSpoint, the damm thing just wont start download, i download trial demo and other stuff seems fine
anyone got brought it b4? or simple Xbox Live server got problem?

SSf4 cant buy by default?


Added on January 16, 2011, 9:54 pm2nd question, does the xbox block you from purchasing if that game was region lock??? or it doesnt block the purchase instead they block the download?

I dont think is IP detection.....

I just google and read some news, its say japan and US have different caalogue of games, hence if the game are only available on japan market US cant download and same with US. SO meaning is your PAL dont work, our NTSC should work..
