drytoast Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Alright, so I found out recently there's a free Watchmen theme and gamerpics (saw people on the Xbox forums with the gamerpics). So when I went to get them for myself, I find out that they are only available in the UK. http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-GB/games/me...2585807ff/?of=8 I asked the intarwebs and found out that you can create a UK Xbox Live account, sign in to your console with that, and then get the free gamerpics and such. So I just did this and it worked out fine, but now I'm getting paranoid and wondering if this is in any way a violation of their Terms of Service. I looked over it briefly and I didn't see anything that seemed to say that it's a problem, but I just don't know. What do you think? I could use some advice.

DirtyLarry Veteran Posted March 5, 2009 Veteran Share Posted March 5, 2009 I have a UK account on my console, I forgot why I created it but it was definitely for some demo that was not being released in the US for a few weeks. I have only used that account two or three times since then, and have not touched it literally in months, but I do mistakenly sign into it every now and then, and I have definitely done that within the past month or two, and nothing has ever happened to me. Just saying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikBrooks Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Free stuff exclusively available to UK accounts!? Holy ****! :D I know! This must be a first. Ive got an American account that I share with a friend to get some of the stuff you guys get early. Ive never been banned for it. I suppose if they were to ban on of my account it would be the one I created anyways, not the one I actually play on :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treemonkeys Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Looks like I'll need to make a UK account! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BeLGaRaTh Subscriber¹ Posted March 13, 2009 Subscriber¹ Share Posted March 13, 2009 I have accounts in all the regions which i log into regularly, frankly it is US accounts that have a lot more additional content than the rest of world. Until the recent NXE US had a "Free Stuff" link on the dashboard with things that no-one else had. There are more exclusive US demo's (Afro Samurai is a recent one I can think of) as well as a shed load of free Themes Gamer Pics that are sometimes available for points on other regions :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
