    I wish I could help you, but really all I can say is save your money and time, because avatars will be taking over, and your themes will go to waste. I'm a pic/ theme whore myself, so I feel your pain not being able to download.

    I don't think that's possible. But it doesn't really matter. Gamerpics and themes are a waste of money anyway.

    Yes it should work.  Hulk has a friend that moved to Canada and he often acquires a lot of free point cards.  So he gives some of them to Hulk.  Since they are Canadian point cards Hulk  had to make a Canadian account to use them.  But otherwise it's fine.  Everything purchased on the Canadian account can also be used on all of Hulk's other accounts.

    It might turn out a little cheaper, but the game you download may also be region locked
