Everything above the dotted line is important. You MUST read it.

DO THIS THIS IF YOU STILL HAVE THE SAME ERROR AFTER FOLLOWING THE RIGHT STEPS:
Make sure your xbox account is set to a USA one. Said by "1017balla" in the comments below, GIVE HIM A THUMBS UP :)

VERY VERY VERY IMPORTANT: Use the VPN connection to start the download, then u can continue using your normal connection but when the download reaches to 97% you MUST use the VPN connection again before the download is complete. If you use your normal connection to complete the download, you will end up with the same error.

................................................................................­................................................................................­...............

FACTS:

This is my first tutorial :)

The VPN connection might not work for a very very very few amount of people. Maybe 8 out of 1000 people will find this useless but please don't dislike this video, I tried to help :)

Btw, the laptop you see at the beginning of the video is not mine. It's my brother's, but I only used because it happened to be the laptop that was closest to me.

  • I am a bit confused here, I connect through a wireless router. And i followed the steps carefully but i don't understand how am i suppose to make the Xbox connect using that as its also connected to the internet through the wireless router, any help?

  • @palisours The VPN connection is like a fake IP address connection. It changes your IP address to somewhere that the Xbox download isn't locked. Your supposed to connect to your wireless router (wirelessely through your laptop/pc). Then connect your xbox and pc together using the ethernet cable (wired). Then connect to your vpn conne. and wait until its done. Finally, turn on your xbox and sign into xbox live. If your stuck on anything, be sure to be specific and clear while explaining it to me.

  • @WillowierRatX21 Thanks for your reply. I was able to sort it out. Turns out i didn't see the instruction about connecting LAN cable between Xbox and PC. Now i have another problem: I am trying to buy NFS Undercover from games marketplace but it still gives me same message of region unlocked despite using the VPN. I tried to download other game"Mafia 2" and it worked, but for NFS undercover its says the same, any help?

  • @palisours Your account should be a USA account. I'm not sure on how your supposed to change it. But you might have to make a new account. You could try searching for another vpn proxy site and try to see if it works. Otherwise, I can't help anymore than this. Good Luck :D

  • @WillowierRatX21 my account is USA Account. yet i duuno why it doesn't work with any of the NFS titles. Any VPN sites suggestion?

  • @palisours I don't really know any other vpn sites. I forgot the rest of them :\

see all

  • @JustAReaperHD "Xbox Live" is "Local Area Connection." I renamed my connection to "Xbox Live" so I don't get confused.

  • @445kmac I'm sure it should work.

  • I DONT HAVE IN OFFER " XBOX LIVE,,

  • I was originally from Canada and have an Canadian xbox and downloaded mass effect from GoD in Canada then deleted it later. Now I live in Australia and since GoD are region locked by your IP address i cant re download it despite having payed for it.

    So if I did this would the download work? Also if I bought and downloaded fallout 3 while running this IP address would it work?
