Is there any new way to circumvent the live market place regional lockout,  in other words is there any way for someone living in europe or asia, to have acces to demos and other content available in the US?

Thanks

Uh it's not really a hack, all you have to do is go to your profile and change your Country. I used it to get some stuff off the Japanese market place.

As far as I know changing region of your console/account/whatever does not change jack shit. I live in Poland where we don't have an official M$ Xbox Live service, although M$ accessories and XBL prepaid cards are sold through AUTHORISED re-sellers Anyway, when content is region-locked, eg. some stuff that is not available for German folks it's automatically not available in regions without official XBL service. It is not based on account settings or console settings, it's all by the IP designation. So if you have a US account and something is exclusive to US Marketplace you can download it, however only from US IPs. So for example, if you're an American citizen on holiday in let's say Paris you will NOT be able to download that stuff because of the IP restriction. That's where VPN comes in handy:)
