Download Every Xbox 360 Demo for Free!

Have you ever found yourself drooling over Xbox games that are not released for your area, like those extravagant goodies overseas? Are you bent on getting each and every demo released for the Xbox 360? I'm sure you are, but there's no need to feel ashamed, nor keep it all inside, since there is an easy to use solution for this very issue. It's not even a tweak, neither a glitch, bug, exploit nor hack; just secret knowledge hidden in plain sight. Let me rephrase that.

The Xbox
360 is designed to let you download games from the country your gamertag is registered to. Not many are aware that the limitation can be bypassed. Thinking outside the box will help you greatly. Setting up an account on the Xbox 360 is indeed excruciating, long and too tedious to even consider, thus I recommend xbox.com for a quick and easy way to register your gamertags. Simply follow the online instructions, add in email that hasn't been registered with a previous gamertag and make sure you're older than 1985, otherwise you get asked for a second email account. You'll be setting up another free Silver membership, while choosing a country such as Japan or America to download the latest games first. It's possible to choose Japan for a first account and America for a second, in order to get the best of both worlds.

A new account has been activated. Just pop unto your Xbox 360 and choose Recover Gamertag. Follow the steps and bingo, you have another gamertag capable of downloading everything from the chosen country. If you are new to Xbox 360, the demos you download can be viewed by all gamertags since they're stored directly on the console hard drive. All you have to worry about now is having enough time to tackle every one of those free goodies. Enjoy!

do you have to pay for two accounts?

You do not have to pay for two accounts since silver accounts on Xbox 360 are free. I had just been thinking about creating another account because my free Gold membership trial-month ran out and I went online gaming with it three times.

"just secret knowledge hidden in plain sight."

Thar's what I am thinking ... follow... I mean I may be totally wishful thinking, but is it possible to create another gamer tag as suggested above for more free demos, to also acquire the free one month Gold membership.
