now the demo is only going to be available in the japanese marketplace, however the site states there is a way to download content from other regions.  so heres hoping its all true.

It seems MS is going to release a demo of Ninety Nine Nights on Xbox Live this coming March. The demo will be availalbe in Japan only, but using our XBox Live Region Lockout Workaround, you should be able to grab it if you live in Europe of America.

"XBox Live Region Lockout Workaround"
wth does that mean?  "should" be able to?  hmmm, hope its not just some false hope

Here is the information required to circumvent the Xbox Live demo download region lockout.

First off you should go to the passport site: http://www.passport.com/. Make sure you are not logged in, and click on the "create hotmail account" link. Now, here is the important part, the site will ask you where you are from, select either Japan, the US, or Europe. Remember, this is the country where the demo is available, not where you really live! You will require some information regarding those countries so MS will allow you ro register the e-mail address.

Once you have filled out the info and applied for the Hotmail account, activate it and turn on your Xbox360. Press the guide button and choose "switch profile" (X Button). Now create a new profile, and a new Xbox Live Account, make it a Silver account instead of a Gold (so you don’t have to pay). Next you will require the phone number mentioned above to use your passport. You could theoretically take care of all the passport stuff on the Xbox, but it will go much faster on PC with a keyboard.

Well, that is about it folks! Pretty sweet huh? The cool thing is that you can disable (they actually are disabled from the start if you have already a gold membership installed on your box) the auto sign for the foreign accounts, hence leaving your primary "Real" account hassle-free. Enjoy the demos!

It means create a new xbox live silver account on your 360, and set your region as japan
you can download japanese region demos, like wrestle kingdom

Wrestle Kingdom is just a trailer, right?

im starting to worry about you.  you have been rather bitchy and ungratefull to the splenders of next gen.  who cares if its in japanese, its free! also its a demo that your not meant to play but have the ability to do so anyways, so where does anyone have any room to bitch?  dont like it, dont download it.  simple as that.

as for me i cant wait to try this out and see what new stuff i can get on the marketplace.

Great info Banjok! Gonna try this out tonight

Anything else worth getting in there?

Anyone know of any Japanese only XBLA games avaible now... might be worth making a Japanese Live account just for this.
