i was browsing at Neogaff and it seems this demo is region coded. if you're downloading using Asian/Japan 360, the game will be in Japanese.  If you're downloading using EU/US 360, the game will be in English.

LoL. i wonder if non-japanese speaking asian gamers on their ntsc/j sets can petition sum1 at MS japan to fix this.

IINM, panzer dragoon orta NTSC/J (region free) was using a similar scheme. if u bought the game and play on US/UK machines, it'll play in english but if u play in on NTSC/J sgp xbox, u'll get jpn only. the ironic part was that panzer dragoon orta NTSC (US) was region-locked rclxub.gif rclxub.gif

A noob question 'ere. Does ur download stopped each time u start playing a game. Previously my dl still assumes while a game is in session. After dl an update, dl always got interrupted when game is in session???

depends what game u r playing, for most offline SP games, the background d/load continues while u game. most MP games understandably pause the BG d/loads. i think old xbox1 games also pause the BG d/loads.

^ if their servers having load problems, sometimes we get "Xbox Live Marketplace is currently unavailable. Please check back later".. message.

one thing can try, go to the HDD and "systems items", delete the marketplace file size ~600KB. reboot 360, go to network test page. if successful, then login and try the marketplace blade again. bioS demo quite large filesize, good luck

here's some of the IP-checking restricted game contents on XBL (US/SGP). i think they just turn on the restriction on the latest demos 2 days ago.

1. GeOW Map #1 (not sure about map #2)
2. Blacksite : 51 Demo (US)
3. Jericho Trailer (US)
4. Stranglehold Demo
5. Bioshock Demo

i wonder what's next? non-official countries are not welcomed to enjoy free gore & violence content!? tongue.gif

some DLC are IP-restricted.

if you can setup the PC using a proxy and use proxy IPs originating from SGP/US and then use internet connection sharing to connect the 360 to PC, then it SHOULD work smile.gif

^ i think all asian prepaid card should function the same regardless of country, HK/SGP/TWN

P-A business model is something like hypermarket, they can offer discounts on certain items due to bulk rates while some other items they mark-up higher.

due to our current exchange rate, xbox360 stuff is cheaper if bought in HK dollars rather than SGP dollars.

well, since namco bandai released Asian versions of AC6 and Eternal Sonata with English support, its highly probable they'll be an English version of Culdcept Saga for us NSTC/Js next year! rclxm9.gif

i don't mind waiting, even if the 4MB profile takes overnight, i can just leave it.

right now, the problem is time-out halfway. i babysit it last night with 4 different IPs with no success.

demos and videos d/load fine. werid eh? they use different servers for profiles and gamertags?
