Bought an episode of Spike TV's Muscle Car on the video marketplace. No region lock. Maybe it's for the movies?

Took about 30 minutes to download 200MB, I guess the speed depends on how many ppl downloading the same video.

Hmm apperently you can no longer use non-US based CCs to buy points for US Live accounts. However Gold membership renewal still works.

Videos so far no region locking. But now you can't buy MS points with foreign CCs. Live subscription still works though.

Would be nice if you can buy the movies as well. But I guess they don't want to cripple the newly released HD-DVD addon.

Xboxic just updated the story.

QUOTE
Update: Chris Paladino from Microsoft Community Team confirmed that downloads are being blocked from wrong regions but states they're not actually banning the illegal accounts. Like him, we are now "still waiting to hear back the official word."


Anybody speaks German? The original news is here:

Unless you just plan to buy point cards, then you still can go with US acc which come with the most content.

WTH I saw a few seasons of McGyver in the Video Marketplace, each season is around 10GB+ in size. How the heck MS expect people to fit all those stuff into their HDD.

Even if you have a US account, after the last update, MS had set the usage of MS Point cards and possibly the Live Gold subscription card as well, according to the geographical location of your 360. I learnt it the hard way. My account is American, but because of my geographical location in Malaysia, the only MS Point card my 360 accepts is the Asian ones. I believe it is the same case for the Live Gold cards as well.

String, how do they determine the geo location? Via IP?

If I remember correctly, Amazon states the cards can only be shipped to US/Canada only.
