[quote name='RonfarX']That would work if they aren't region blocking it - I couldn't get the Gears 3 demo with a code through this method because they blocked japan IPs... you might be able to start a region blocked item with a browser code claim, but it will ultimately fail to download (probably around 98~99%). You _can_ proxy your xbox on the last 2% of the download to a supported region, but it's probably not worth the effort. :/[/QUOTE]
Alas, you are correct. You can download it fully, but when you try booting up the game it tells you the disc region is incorrect and won't let you play. My bad.
