Xbox Live Marketplace Demo Download

There is an eternal question that haunts the Xbox 360 community: Why won't the French be given permission to bash someone with a wicked haymaker to the nards?

While you ponder that little nugget, consider this, the French can -- all thanks to the creative work of Gamersreports.com.

In light of the news that the new Fight Night demo was released on Xbox Live today, though not in regions outside America, I'm sure there's been a few of you out there holding backyard brawls in "authentic" boxing poses, while your friends on the side of the house discuss how realistic it looks when Timmy gets his nards bashed in and how you don't really need the 360.

Quit it and just follow these steps and you'll be rocking your boxing moves on your television and not on poor ol' Timmy.

1. Head to Microsoft's Passport site and choose Create Hotmail Account.
2. While you're filling out the info, it'll ask you where you're from. Be sure to choose the region where the demo is available, not where you live. For Fight Night, you'd choose USA.
3. To allow you to register your e-mail address, Microsoft will require that you provide some info (to make sure you're not lying, he, he).
4. Here are a few addresses you can use, though you can use any valid address for any of those countries. Remember, Google is your friend. He likes you.

Valid addresses:
United States
Postal Code: 10012
State: New York, City New York City
Phone Number: 1-866-530-1234

Japan
Postal Code: 150-2345
Province: Tokyo-to
Phone Number: 3201-3331

Germany
Postal Code: 54292
City: Trier
Phone Number: 065112345

5. When you're done with that, activate your e-mail account, turn on your Xbox 360 and go to "Switch Profiles."
6. Create a new profile and Xbox Live account, choosing a silver account so you won't have to pay.
7. Just enter your phone number from one of the addresses above and you're done. So when you find out there's a new demo, just switch over to the foreign account and start downloading. As easy as that.

So, to recap, the French can open a profile for America to play our demos, and if Germany or Japan ever gets an exclusive download, us Americans can join in on the fun too. That is if Microsoft doesn't find another way to stop this. Don't know why Microsoft would do that, though, they did, after all, launch globally.

As a consolation, you should really consider Timmy be allowed to play first, what with his nards having paid the ultimate sacrifice and all.

Anyone know what downloads Japan has that we(NA) don't have? Thanks.

I now have a jap account, however the only thing they have different is a trailer for wrestle something. No demos.

Here in germany we are missing quite a lot of demos. :(
Quake 4, Condemned and Ridge Racer just to name a few ones.
Actualy I already wanted to try this out but was to lazy. So this is good news!

This works really well. I am downloading the Wrestle Kingdom Trailer. I have been following this game, supposed to be the first Xbox wrestling game worth its wait in $ or yen

well ive removed my xbox live tag from my 360 for now. The jap 1 that is, because i got the free gold upgrade for a month, which means at the end of the month it will downgrade. This apparantly caused problems wer it downgraded the other gold account on the 360. Which i dont want to happen lol. And if i wud have waited a month 2 do it i know i wud have forgot.

All you have to do is delete the foreign account? So it was downgrading the other one as well, people's American one?

NASTY!!!

After watching the 10 second Final Fantasy Trailer, if Japan isn't behind 360 after seeing that, they are never gonna be behind 360.

Check FF trailer and holler back

LMAO

PS: I still do not see how a downgrade of Japanese account would harm US account since they are different, but more info would be appreciated.

Does US have any playable demos that UK doesn't?

We have Kameo, NFS, FN3, Q4, Condemed, FIFA, Madden, NBA.

why would you pay for a new account to get a dem of a game instead of buying the game?

yoshimi,
No - US & UK currrently have the same demos.

Why would we pay?

We are not, it is free. As the article said, Silver membership is free; however, Microsoft gives you a free month of Gold.

In Us illinois, we have Fight Night ROund 3, Condemened, Quake 4, Fifa, Nba live, NFS most wanted, Madden, Kameo

"Don't know why Microsoft would do that, though, they did, after all, launch globally."

If you consider November 2005 - March 2006 the launch, then yes it was a global launch but if you condider just 2005, then it wasn't a global launch at all. Every time I read global launch or worldwide launch it makes me realise just how much the rest of the world doesn't give a crap about Australia.

Fight night round 3 is rlzed in sweden. so its not the whole europe which doesnt have acess to this demo. We have got all the demos US have except for some trailers such as X3, pulse, (some basketball movie) =)
