That is okay. I just wanted to post this in case anyone wants something from this list.

Gonna try this. Want Bloodforge at least.

Can you then play these games on your main account? Also isn't this risking a XBL ban?

Just tried. Oman has a completely empty marketplace now. Can't see any games.

Edit: Never mind. That's just the web site. I haven't tried on my Xbox yet.

It doesn't even have a marketplace to begin with. Did you follow my instructions? I'm still on it and downloading games. This works.

Yes you can. Even the SR4 Season pass works on your main account. No XBL ban.

The Injustice DLC is "compatibility" skins, they are always free.

Flashpoint Batman, Luchador Bane, Containment Suit Doomsday, Classic Ares, Green Lantern John Stewart, and Cyborg Superman.

This is where it stops for me. Brings up error saying Xbox service is down, 8C15000C

Signup page is in german, do you have it in English?

It says Xbox LIVE is not available in my region.

Not it says that my Oman account need XLIVE.

On your dashboard? If so that is right. Read my last steps carefully. I don't know if this still works.

No sorry. Go to account.live.com. When it asks you to sign in, press the link at the bottom where it says "No microsoft account? Click here to register"

Once you go Oman you never go back

You don't bring your profile. You make a new one.

Forgive my skepticism but, how do you know for sure no XBL ban? Just paranoid because my main account has 200+ arcade games and it would be horrible to lose them all over a ban.

Because we had these MS fuckups all the damn time this year. Just yesterday we had it with Injustice for free in Costa Rica. Nobody has been banned for this.

Oh, man what a good deal.

I am ashamed to say that I did not know Oman was the name of a place prior to this thread.

If you download anything free just be sure to think of the many great people of Oman.

I'm not. Where the hell is "Oman"?

In middle east, near Saudi Arabia and Dubai.

I am baffled...how the fuck we have a freakin XBL store, but no PSN Store or even Plus?
Decent selection of games though.

There is no Xbox Live store, Oman doesn't even have Xbox Live officially. I don't know how this is possible really, I just read it on a German site and wanted to share it.

Testament of SH is a decent Point n' Click adventure game, though the PS3 ver. I played had frame rate issues but I don't know about 360 ver.
Do-able 100%/Platinum though.

...but holy shit at SR4 Season Pass lol.

Ah I see, as is I assume it's prob. a glitch with XBL?

Probably has to do with the glitch where games disappeared this week.

What about injustice?

The only way I was able to get Injustice was to log in as a valid account, change console region to Austria. Go to live tile for WB sale. Log out, log in as oman account and bring up Injustice, then it shows up.

Any way to get Sherlock on a US console?

Don't think so, it's a PAL version.

Dammit, I reached my Microsoft account creation limit. Would be cool if someone made a dummy account. I only want Bloodforge, maybe flashback and Ikaruga too. But mostly Bloodforge.

Thanks for the heads up on this. Managed to grab a few games I was interested in.

Please stay active till I get home in a couple of hours.

From Oman with Love <3

Oh, man. Thanks but nothing I really want.

Got the games listed. Cheers!

Not really anything good there, but I went ahead and did this anyway! Grabbed everything I didn't already have (Like I'd ever want to play Dragon's Lair again).Worked a treat.

Thank you very much Lima :)

You can't get banned for free stuff, right?

Where's the "I already have an email" option?

Oooooh Ikaruga.. Might try this later.

Mars: War Logs is good.

Ooh, Saints Row IV Season Pass is free??

I was afraid I missed the boat on Injustice the other day, now currently at 10% Thanks !!

Oh man.

Right under the box where you need to put in a email address.
