Hey thanks for the help guys.

I'm physically not in the US (I'm in Southeast Asia), but I put US (Cal 90210) in my address. I guess that makes my XBL account a US one?

I get confused because I've been browsing games where some doesn't have a "Buy" option, for example Zumba Fitness. The latest one, Zumba World Party does have a Buy option, but from what I know, there's no Zumba game for NTSC-J. I also downloaded demos of JRPGs (Eternal Sonata, ToV) but they're in Japanese so I'm not sure if I will buy them.

I guess I can try changing the region of my gamertag to Singapore, so I that I'll be in the actual Asian region. What would happen to my games and achievements?

wait if you dl demos and they are in jp I think your account is an asian one ... even if you put your address in the us ...

I don't know why they're in japanese. The currency that shows up in the marketplace is in $.

I tried purchasing a region locked game but the console blocked it. I guess the system is fool proof, which is good. As for JRPGs I'll just buy DVDs and won't risk buying online.
