Now, before anyone gets too uptight, seeing as they are free products and I am in no way going to talk directly about piracy (i'm as against it as anyone else, given i'm aiming to be a developer myself)
Anyway. I want Aegis Wing and Yaris, both free products, one pulled from XBLA and the other (Aegis Wing) is only available in North America. My question is, if I somehow obtain them both, will my UK account be banned? I just want to play Aegis Wing, and get achieves from Yaris, that's all, it's not like I want to rob developers or hard earned profits, both are free products.
Or, if not, is there anyway I can create a US account and simply get Aegis Wing? Can that work?
Aeigis Wing and Yaris... Will they get me banned from XBL?
I want 200 points from Yaris, to be more specific. Aegis Wing is apparently a SHMUP avaialable only in north america. Odd decision seeing as it's a free game not to release worldwide.
"@The_A_Drain: No, you don't want Yaris. I think you might have more fun watching Barney then playing that game."
Yes, I get it, it's terrible. I know that.
I just want to know if I will have my account, or console banned for obtaining and playing it on a UK account. And same goes for Aegis Wing.
Yeah, i've googled around and havn't found much info, i've seen people setting up an account and setting their region to w/e to get content from the japanese marketplace for example, but I dont know if this is something MS will/can ban you for or if i'm fine to do it. As for Yaris as it's been pulled from the marketplace I can't mention how i'd go about getting that as it might be construed as piracy/illegal activities discussion.
nope, you wont I have dl demos...aegis wing and yaris and I have not been banned like many, many other people
No it's just a burn to disc jobbie.
I'd never mod the console I know that will get me banned.
I've had Aegis Wing since it came out, and I used a US account to download it.
Believe me, you're safe.
I have Aegis Wing, UK account, I had no idea it was suppose to be US only, although i did use to have a second USA account (and a third JAP account, so i could potentially of got it using that.
But my account isnt banned from usin it or anything, so you should be able to just create a US account, make a new hotmail address with all USA sign up details, zip code ect and that should be fine for ageis wing.
Its an awesome game too.
no idea what yaris is though, but wouldnt be too shcoked if doing a disk copy jobbie would get you and your console a ban.
no you won't get banned, you just won't be able to download them because of the new updates, I used to download a lot of free content from the usa marketplace, but now i can't unless it is also available here in the mexico's marketplace. :/
your fine there is nothing that i know of in the EULA of microsoft when it comes to xbox live games that keeps them region only....

You don't want those achievements from Yaris but, if you know someone who either has or had Yaris you can take your profile to their house and play it on their system for the achievements. Also I think you may be able to get Aegis Wing from a U.S. account
