I only have a US silver account which I opened ages ago to download the RR6 demo. Never added any points to it so can't comment on payed for content.

Downloading free games(Aegis Wing is the only one I think)/gamerpics/themes etc. still seem to be fine, from here at least. From what I understand it's mainly the Video Marketplace that is being protected from downloads from other regions, I think that's where the blocks come into it.

Like I said I'm not sure about the other payed for content though.

Well he is for the moment with his one month gold, and he's taking all the free pic's and stuff, he just can't download the movies
