Oh well, I downloaded the “New X-Box live experience”. Its total BS they should have just stuck with the old interface and called it good. not only would it have saved their money, but ours too, all those gamer pics and skins, and even backgrounds I used M$ points to buy?? useless… Frankely im pissed off and they should have saved their new interface for the 720…

For a while I’ve been using a webservice called anchorfree.com, to fool websites into thinking I have an american IP address. This allows me to use parts of the iTunes Music Store, and watch a lot of TV shows that are restricted to american users. I’m not sure how feasible this would be for xBox users, or even if the software could be installed, but it is probably worth a try….

p.s. you guys need to do more Wii reviews!

Matt, yes, I do agree with you on that point. Regardless, for the average Joe out there, when M$ goes balls to the wall with a huge marketing campaign in CANADA touting Netflix etc…the consumer in Canada is the one that gets screwed.

Good article, but one thing you forgot to mention. CRTC… Its their fault we dont get anything in this country… Direct tv ring a bell! I have the esteemed pleasure of living in Quebec. If you think the rest of Canada is bad come over here.
Unless M$ were to make a trillion dollar cash donation to the CRTC to maybe sway there policy. They will advocate that they are only protecting Canadian interests…BS.
Anyways! Ya it pissed me off, we always miss out on everything.
