Hey guys so let me explain my problem.

I am studying in the USA but my family lives in Germany, when I bought my xbox in the USA with all my games, I think I set my account to the German Region. Now I want to buy the first strike but of course, it only lets me buy the pack for the German Black ops game. If I try to download the NTSC one from the xbox website it says that it's not available for my region.

Now here are some thoughts of mine:

Since I don't want to lose my current account, can I make a new account, set it to region USA, activate xbox live gold with an 48 hour code and buy the first strike pack? Will that pack still work for my NTSC (US) Black Ops on my main account, which is german? Or will the map pack ONLY work for the new account? I would think that it would work for both since it's saved on the xbox, right?

So basically: Are the addons I download only for one account or for all of them on my xbox?

I would be really glad if someone could help me and if there are any other possibilities, I would be glad too!

Thank you

If you purchase the content on your xbox, the content will be accessible on all profiles on your console. However, if you wish to access your content on another console you will need to recover the account that you used to originally download the content.

I'm sorry, but I don't think it would work, because when you make an new account, it doesn't give the option to set the region, only when you first register the console. So yeah, you might wanna buy a new Xbox, or just wait for PAL version to come out...

Thank you at first.

So if I create a new account and buy xbox live for it, I won't be able to set it to the USA?

No, it is not possible, because they do not give the option to set the account to a region, only to set it when you FIRST register the console. So, sorry.

Sorry for another quick answer:

If I create a new account, it will be set to the same region my main account is set to, right?

Then there is the option on the xbox website to change your account to a specific region, for me these are only like 6, for example Brasil. Brasil uses the NTSC format just like the usa. So IF I change it to Brasil, it should let me download the DLC for the NTSC game, or am I wrong?

I hope you can follow me and thank you so much.

[UPDATE]

Hey bro, I was able to create a new account and set it to the USA, it works!!

And I got for some reason a FREE MONTH OF GOLD!

So now my question: if i download it, will it be for the whole xbox or only one account?!
