1) Head to microsoft's passsport site and make your way to 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 content is available, not where you live. So, if you want US content, choose America.

3) Enter any valid address for the region you've choosen. Just look up an address on Google - a business address is fine.

4) When you're done with that, activate your e-mail account, turn on your xbox 360 and go to switch profiles.

5) Create a new profile and xbox live account, choosing silver account so you won't have to pay.

6) Just enter a phone number and you're done.

Use your regular profile as normal and use your foreign account for the new downloads. Simple as that.

Put simply - No it isn't

I set up an account with a USA adress etc, and can download US only content.

I wouldn't worry about making another account in the other region.

I've had a European/Japanese one for two months and nothing has happened to them or my real account.

I think they would care if you were somehow ripping a Gold membership off of them, but you know they don't care if their not losing money. They probably even gain money on people buying some stuff available in other countries but not their own.

They got pretty mad at me over at the xbox.com forums for posting this.

have found some decent free stuff while having a quick look with my us account, just to make a jap account, does the gamerpics/themes work on all the accounts once they are downloaded ?
