It’s something more marketing folks should try: there’s a simple, somewhat illicit method of obtaining the Chromehounds demo on your filthy American Xbox 360: just make a new, free, Xbox Live Silver account and fill in “Australia” as your country of origin. Log in to Live with that account and you beat the system that is unfairly denying you a demo of next-gen mech combat.

It’s hacking-lite. It gets you posted on blogs. It’s certainly more fun and more immediate than loving bees.

Aeropause gets the credit for being the place I noticed this trick, which may or may not work. I can’t verify, since I don’t even have an Xbox 360 due to me not being related to an old lady with a limited vocabulary. My new grandpa-in-law plays Civilization III or Diablo II just about every day, but he talks like a human being instead of a sailor, so I doubt anyone would care.
