Re: us account help please asap

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.
