    Anyways, having a canadian xbox live account has meant that I have no access to most of the video marketplace.

    Most importantly I can't access the south park HD episodes!

    Being a huge fan of south park I was really looking forward to getting some HD Episodes.

    So I was wondering if indeed there is someway I can make my xbox have access to this content.

    I'm guessing (haven't tried for myself) that you simply need to create an XBL account with a US address listed.

    I did that with a Japanese address so I could download stuff from the Japanese Xbox Marketplace.

    Can the same person PM the instructions? I live in Canada and am planning on picking up a 360. Ugh... stupid CRTC.

    I use a US address for my XBL account since my credit card is based in the US, but I'm in Japan. It won't let me download either.

    In the past you could, I snagged 3-4 South Park and Dave Chappelle Shows....but then they stopped it.

    Has anyone tried customizing their settings to run off a USA based proxy...?

    I do that when I want to watch abc streaming shows, etc.

    anyone try this?

    Not going to work. Your 360 itself is marked as a Canadian model. I doubt you could take it to the US and have it work either.

    They fixed this a few months back in dashboard update regarding locking down the video content.

    You can still grab demos, trailers, pics and themes though with a different region account.
