Bypassing the Xbox 360’s country lock: actually simple

We’re not about to see if this works, but it seems simple enough for anyone to try out. According to this post on the South African Gaming Network website, you can actually get past the country locks placed into Xbox Live for downloadable content.

To do this, you have to remember that you can only download applicable demos and other goodies from Xbox Live depending on the country you attributed your gamertag to. The process is simply to make more than one gamertag with different emails and countries registered to them.

If you’re one of the few who’ve already tried something like this, let us know if you’ve come across any problems, legal or otherwise, and let’s see just how safe this proposed method is, alright?
