Thanks for the heads up. Just in case people didn't know. All themes and gamer pics work worldwide. Also, they can be easily found in Games -> Browse Games -> Extras -> Themes or Gamer Pics sections. No need to search for the ads.

 
Dont know if it was posted before but on the Australian marketplace there is an advert for the worlds end on the dash with a free dashboard theme and gamer-pics available.

How do you mean? If you make an account for a region that has something for free, how is that going to effect your main account?

Don't know if I should post this now, and I'm sure it's already been mentioned... But WSOP: Full House Pro is free for Canadian Accounts, no gold need either.

why are we still talking about ways on how to con the MS marketplace? why did that guys other topic get deleted? the one with the foreign free marketplace stuff, it was a good place for people in other countries to go and find the free stuff in their markets. is there any moderators on this forum or is is a free reign system?

There are moderators, though we're not able to be everywhere at every single moment.

Someone reported a post in here, so cleanup on the disallowed posts was done.

As stated before, please don't discuss acquiring Marketplace content from a region you're not part of.

Microsoft is cracking down on stuff like this thanks to social media and forums like this, so it wouldn't be allowed here

First of all, i understand that people talking about getting things OUTSIDE of their own country is controversial. It should be! But why is talking about getting marketplace items from one's own country such a hot button issue? And why do so many assume that anyone talking about non-US items are lying about where they live and are thieves!?! There are all these other things called "countries" that exist outside the US. And guess what, people live there, too... Oy!

How is it theft though? Granted I can see how some people might view this as theft but it's not like M$ is losing money as most of the things people download are gamerpics, themes and avatar stuff (when the 2 controller trick works that is) are absolutely free for certain regions so why should everyone else who can't access that content get stiffed? For instances I had to use my U.K account so I could download the Kick-Ass gamerpics because I'm a fan of the movie and don't live in the U.K, Does that mean M$ is going to ban me because I have Hit-Girl as my gamer pic? I think not as I hope they're not that stupid to ban people over something so silly, IMO I personally think the region lock thing is stupid as everyone should have the right to access what ever content M$ releases, I'm just glad everything will be region free with Xbox One as it should of been with the 360.

No one has said anything at all about people acquiring items inside there own markets. my main gripe was the guy who talked about vpn's and his router. he wouldn't need to worry about issues like that if he wasn't tricking the marketplace in the first place.

that really sucks that you think that but region free doesn't mean the marketplaces wont be diverse like they are now. the reason people get stuff on foreign marketplaces differently than others is due to MS believing they either don't deserve the item or its an equivalent item to another marketplace like Crackdown being in the US and shadowrun being in other markets. Just because its free to one demographic doesnt mean it was meant to be free to you.

Ha! lol

I guess of all the good things about the Xbox One being Region Free... No more of these arguments, lol.

 
I think with people accessing CAG from all over the world, we need to be able to provide this useful information on this site.

What is the best way to organize information like this?  One master thread like this with information in the OP?

Multiple threads for each region?  it seems like multiple threads might be overkill.  What are your thoughts?

Also, while we sort this out, I would love to create an updated new thread ASAP as this one is very large and old.  You probably notice it takes a long time for new replies to go through.  That would fix this problem, which we are working on fixing site-wide.

I created a thread with all free non-US marketplace items and it was very successful and actually managed to have very little discussion on "tricking" the system. But it was deleted. :(

-edit-

P.S. I would also be willing and more than love to start a new "Free Xbox Live Marketplace content". I would be very active in keeping the OP updated. I was with the non-US topic to an obsessive degree, lol.

I agree with adding a thread for non-U.S. but no matter how it is managed, it will be "abused" by people who aren't in that region if that is seen as abuse or theft.

Also, wiki is great for OP

we are going to give that a try. thanks for your patience!

Looking forward to seeing what goodies are in the Japan section.

My confusion exactly, seeing as Cheapy seems in favor of the idea of that previous thread, I think you should go ahead and resurrect it. You were pretty careful, in my opinion when making it to insure it was not violating anything.

I have spoken with Cheapy and i think a good solution is on it's way. :)

Just one question, how getting things from non-US markets by US accounts is different than getting things from US markets by non-US accounts? Aren't there people in this thread that are living, let's say in EU, and still getting things that are US only? I think it works both ways, so deleting thread with non-US items would be the same thing like deleting this thread, just different group of people would get upset. I know this thread isn't only about US(but mostly is), but I really liked the other one, can we please get it back? Pretty please :)

 
It used to help me a little bit when I looked at the user's info and saw what area of the world they were posting from.  Sometimes (not always) that helped to quickly disseminate if the content was for the US or somewhere else.

 
I feel that international deals should still be available, this site isn't just accessible by people in the US and what people choose to do with that information is up to them. However, it probably would be better to do a US only and another non-US thread, since I think I can safely say most of the members on CAG are from the US.

I did a quick ctrl-f search on the XBL ToU here: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/Legal/XboxComTOU and searching the words "region", "circumvent", "country", and "account" doesn't provide anything relevant saying that you aren't allowed to create accounts in different regions to access their deals.

And the word "legal" does not apply here, since you're not breaking any laws, just theoretically violating their ToU (which it doesn't appear to anyway)

Well you kinda have to provide an address and phone number when you make the account therefore you are using bogus info, therefore that's fraud

I just did a search for the words "legitimate", "address", "home", and "legal" and no where does it explicitly state that it has to be your own address. I also checked the Microsoft Services Agreement here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-live/microsoft-services-agreement and it says "To create a Microsoft account, you must provide A user name and password, certain demographic information, and “account proofs,” such as an alternate email address or phone number." It says "A" and not "YOUR" so no where does it explicitly state that the information entered has to be your own information, you just have to provide some information.

Totally grasping at straws. I just went ahead through the process of making a new account and it says:

Your name, your region, your email address, your birthday. I'm pretty sure falsifying information that is requested to be your own is a violation.

Edit: And here's your catch, second from the bottom. Of course, that is most likely meant to be about hacking/modding/etc, it can be interpreted to include making false accounts to access data that is not meant for your region.

1.12. Are there things I can't do on the Services? You must not use the Services to harm others or the Services. For example, you must not:

  • use the Services to harm, threaten, or harass another person, organization, or Microsoft;
  • damage, disable, overburden, or impair the Services (or any network or Authorized Device connected to the Services);
  • resell or redistribute any part of the Services or access to the Services, including the sale or purchase of an account and/or Microsoft Points;
  • use or attempt to use any unauthorized means to modify, reroute, or gain access to the Services;
  • use any automated process or service (such as a bot, a spider, periodic caching of information stored by Microsoft, or metasearching) to access or use the Services, or to copy or scrape data from the Services;
  • obtain (or try to obtain) any data from the Services or related hardware, except the data that we intend to make available to you; or
  • use the Services or related hardware to design, develop, or update unauthorized software

Its only the things in the Terms of Use or whatnot that really matter. But I agree, this is a gray zone. But even then, access to international deals shouldn't be restricted since CAG isn't only acessible to people in the US.
 
Dudes,

This must be the longest off-topic discussion I have ever seen on internet.

How long is this thing going on now, the last 50 pages or so?

:boxing:

Yeah. Definitely grey, especially when VPN comes in to play.

Well, considering CheapyD chimed in and perpetuated the OT discussion, I think it's forgivable this time.

 
In my original post I wasn't saying that this topic shouldn't provide information regarding other marketplaces, I was referring to the poster who said something about his vpn router. I was asking why the other topic was deleted, and stating that the information about conning the marketplace wasn't welcome here. This got entirely out of hand, I see as to where people got confused but the gray area where people see this as not illegal or a break in ToU is assuming they are using falsified information is a legitimate way to acquire free items. All I want is for people to stop using this forum as a means to ask questions about "2 controller trick" and illegitimate accounts made for other marketplaces other than the marketplace you are intended to see. yes they are free marketplace items and yes its not like your taking a item that is paid for, but if you look at one marketplace and its free and another marketplace sells the item then well its pretty much cut and dry

 
Back on topic and sorry if this has been posted already, Verizon has multiple avatar props for free and a free theme. Watch for the advertisement on the dash!

Update:
Little more info on the Verizon stuff, the advert states "test your speed Skills. Slug The slow, only at speed city. Play now." Doesn't actually say Verizon anywhere on it.

I had my 10 year tenure account locked for using a incorrect address. It was a lengthy process to get it reinstated but they eventually did as I could prove that I lived at that address in the past but failed to update. I was told that the address and payment info should be current, true and updated or MS could disable the account.

IP locks and region locks are in place to protect certain markets or to restrict that particular content for a reason. Falsifying info to get hold of that content by way of an out of region account, fake address, vpn etc is often against the TOS and a violation of local copyright & privacy laws in many Asian countries.

MS has been known to ban or disable accounts and device ids (Consoles) for "Marketplace Theft" and they usually toss cases likes these under that category. It is not worth risking your console and all accounts on the console for a $5 freebie.

Case Zero is quite fun but short, best to play Case Zero first then some of your stuff from your save carries over to Dead Rising 2.  I have a feeling both games will be free in maybe 15-16 hours? Pretty close to midnight CST(US,Can)

Case Zero was a prologue that came out a few weeks(?) before DR2 and was meant to be played first. And yes, your stats carry over to DR2, up to Level 5.

Case zero came in 2012. DR2 came in 2011

Case west came in 2010.

No. Case Zero was out before the DR2. It is a stand alone prologue. Case West was add-on DLC that came out long after DR2 was released.

I know first-hand, because I bought Case Zero the day it went up on XBL, almost a month before DR2 came out.

lol, fail

Caze Zero was the first Arcade game that came out before DR2. Case West (Frank West) is the second Arcade title that takes place after Dead Rising 2 and has co-op where the second player plays as Frank

Both are Arcade Titles not DLC
