    I recently set up a US account (took me long enough), to download the Catherine demo. I bought 1600 msp on a recent trip to the states and now I'm looking for advice on what to buy. The only stipulation is that it isn't available on the Irish marketplace, as I'll buy that with my real GT.

    The only thing I've decided to buy so far is The Impossible Game.

    So, what have you guys bought/would you recommend??

    How would someone go about setting up a US account? :)

    Just set up a hotmail or live account and put your address as Beverly hills 90210. Then sign in with it...

    When you're creating a new GT, it'll ask you for a country. Whichever you pick will be the location of your GT. Never tried the way above, but I've done it through the Xbox with Irish hotmail addresses. Just be careful and pay attention. More than once in setting up a UK/US account, I've accidentally created Irish ones :/

    I registered a US gamertag during the week. It opened my eyes to how much we are missing on EU consoles. Thousands of indie games (which can be bought on the US account and played on your regular gamertag if you want). I reckon we are getting less than 20% of all Inside Xbox content here too.
