I hope they're not adding a region code to the demo... I want to try it!

That would suck.

How do you guys download the Japanese demos?

 

[Nino]

How (??) do you guys download the Japanese demos?

...Meanwhile here is a pretty good tutorial on how to get a JP account...

Not that you're missing out on anything, there are no JP only demos at the moment. There are a few JP only trailers (Every Party, Wrestle Kingdom, Zegapain etc). Don't bother with the Love Football demo, it's region locked.

(oh and sorry for the unintended BuddyC, didn't know that some people found it offensive (I'm a euro). Won't happen again.)

Well how do you download japanese demos?

Click the link from my quote, it'll show you a 'tutorial' which basicly tells you to create a Japanese hotmail account and then an Xbox Live account with said Hotmail account.

In case you missed the link; http://wiki.xboxic.com/Circumvent_region_lockout

 

[erikevrhrd]

thanks a lot. will try that.

 

[neojubei]

I need more help man,

Once you have filled out the info and applied for the Hotmail account, activate it and turn on your Xbox360. Press the guide button and choose "switch profile" (X Button). Now create a new profile, and a new Xbox Live Account, make it a Silver account instead of a Gold and assign it to the hotmail account you just made. Finish the setup and login your new account. Go to the marketplace to download the content you want.

where is this option?

pressing the X button makes you sign out not switch profile

edit: I think i figured it out

 

[krypt0nian]

Yeah, I do have a Japanese live account, but when I said I couldn't find it anywhere I meant the Japanese marketplace. I tried looking from everywhere (new demos, featured downloads, games -> zegapain xor) but couldn't find it.

Same here. And usually I can see the JPN items on my fake JPN account. =(

 

[dark10x]

Sweet, I never bothered with the "fake account" thing, but it works great. I put in my old phone number (JP cell phone) and such, though (hope that doesn't matter).

 

[arne]

It looks demo only appeared for 30 mins or so, but it was there.

And yeah reading 2ch comments control scheme takes time to get used to.

And I bet you when it comes back... it'll be region locked.
this is what I get for not working at home

Does this mean I can sell my HDD on eBay for crazy monies?

 

[u_neek]

According to GameFront there's now a demo of Chromehounds available on the JAP marketplace.

 

[Core407]

No, nothing like that at all.

 

[FlyinJ]

Because they realize they forgot to region lock the demo and god forbid anyone else actually get some goddamn Live content.

 

[DopeyFish]

*pulls out hair*

 

[storybook77]

I was expecting the Prey demo....*weeps* you bastards!!!!!

 

[Core407]

They do this ALL the time.

 

[Core407]

Hey Bloke, I got a question for you. Would it be possible for you transfer the demo to another storage device (Flash drive?) and upload it to the web, which would allow us to download it, throw it on a flash drive and transfer it onto our 360s?

 

[Monorojo]

I want my NCAA 07 Demo damn it, is it realistic they will have one in the next week or so?

Along of course with Prey (which already has a PC demo mind you, why no 360?) and Chromehounds.

 

[shuri]

hmm which option is the xbox silver option?

I wouldn't hold my breath for a EA Sports demo before the game is released....Fight Night was the exception and not the rule IMO.

 

[StoOgE]

the one that says 0 yen. Anyone know if the demo is region coded?

 

[Core407]

The demo isn't even up on marketplace anymore.

 

[shuri]

yeah its gone. Oh well.

 

[MMaRsu]

[shuri]

[MMaRsu]

So no chromehounds or nothing?

 

[Scotch]

There's a Love Football demo, but it's region coded. :/

 

[MMaRsu]

Microsoft...

( btw don't I know u Skotch? You're from Holland too right? )

 

[gjb-sensei]

Damn, they took the demo down? Just as I finished creating a Japanese Xbox Live account. :/

 

[jarosh]

( btw don't I know u Skotch? You're from Holland too right? )

I'm sooo lazy you wouldn't believe...

Yeah, another gamer.nl'er We all fled here it seems. I wonder why?

Gamer.nl really started to suck...

:lol

 

[Joe]

at this point, you gotta be a retard to think everytime this thread or the xbla thread gets bumped it means something new to download is up.

 

[LakeEarth]

Who's making Chromehounds, does it make sense for it to come out in Japan's Marketplace first?

 

[goldenpp72]

from software is making it, so yes.

 

[Blimblim]

Developed by From Software, published by Sega. The game is in stock at playasia since today.

 

[Bebpo]

Wait, so is the Chromehounds demo up on the JPN marketplace or not?

 

[oBa]

Unless M$ is bothering to trace IP addresses or figuring out another way to see if you live outside of Japan (both hugely unlikely) no, its not up.

I have a Japanese silver account (but I reside in the states) and I just checked. Nothing up there.

 

[Barnolde]

Wait, so is the Chromehounds demo up on the JPN marketplace or not?

If it was up before, it's not now.

 

[FlyinJ]

Has there ever been an explanation about why this happens? This is seriously like the 5th time this has happened on Live. GIVE US SOME GODDAMN CONTENT.




And leave it there once you do.
