“IM BATMAN” – Setting up US and Japanese 360 accounts.

IM BATMAN“, Alan Partridge once said.

Its also what I’m saying now I have a new shiny Batman Gamerpic for myself, displayed up there on the top right. But you wont find this Gamerpic in the UK Xbox LIVE Marketplace, oh no, so how did I get it? From the US Marketplace that’s where…

Depending on your location, you will have access to a different version of the Xbox Marketplace, all of which carry slightly different content. I have 3 accounts set up, Shepperton, which is my normal Gamertag that I use to play online and collect precious achievement points, then also a US and a Japanese account I use to access the different Marketplaces.

Once content is downloaded from another Marketplace, its free to use on any Gamertag you may have. For example some demos appear only on the US or Japanese Marketplace, if this is the case its possible to sign to your US/Japanese Gamertag, download it, then sign back into your normal Gamertag and play it.

When a new Gamertag is created it will be Gold Tier for the first month, then revert to Silver automatically after that, you wont have to  input any payment details. You will also only be able to grab content that is free.

There’s a full walk through on creating US and Japanese 360 accounts for Marketplace over at GamerReports I recommend  Aegis Wing from the US marketplace, which is a Free side scrolling free shooter with 4 player co-op,  released last year in May.

    The console forefathers shifted bit after bit just to further the gaming cause. And yet, their efforts may have been in vain, since shepperton did not do their part today and play a game or two.
