US XBLMP Better than Canadian XBLMP

[Comon ST]

Is it just me, or are Canadians on the shit end of the Marketplace. I first noticed this when we didn't get the Video Marketplace when it released, hell we still haven't got it yet. Then I started to notice that a bunch of Gamer Pictures are only of the US Marketplace, like (I think) the Axe one and the Old spices ones, along with other movie based ones that are only available in the US Marketplace. What does Canada have on its Marketplace that may be exclusive? Probally the Canada Flag, and Canada Day stuff, but I have the feeling that it is also available there to.

Anyone else feel that us Canadian are getting ripped? :mad:

I have a UK and American account on my Xbox (one is just a random one to download stuff). When I browse on either the amount of content on the american marketplace greatly outweighs the content on the UK one. Its ashame America gets morecontent.

I don't see why. Its like "Oh we'll give you more content because you live somewhere different". I know lots of companies give certain areas more conten within different businesses, but I just dont see why :(

You really need to understand things from Microsoft's point of view. Here is the map their executives have that they use to decide where to make money:

If I have an American account, and lets say I download some Gamerpictures, will they work on my Canadian account as well?

If that works, I will cheer! I get really dissapointed when I see one of my American friends with something such as a Borat gamerpic that I can't get. I do understand why Microsoft is doing this though.

This is what we get for making them listen to Celine Deon

Unless I'm wrong, they can see where you're from by your ISP....

And Shadow Sniper, you're probably right about pating us back for beating the s*** out of them in hockey...LOL....cheers to you Sniper...de ton voisin de la rive-sud...:)

But then the question arises, does Microsoft Points bought in Canada, the Same as Microsoft Points bought in America?

We should sue.

I'm going to go and sign up right now for an American account. How many free trials does the 360 get again? Like 4?

I have the Borat pics which are exclusive to American marketplace. I've yet to add points to my account to actually buy stuff :P

Oh and i'm not sure *apprently* its been stopped now but i've only heard that from one person, so i dunno.

It works! I downloaded every free theme/gamerpic. The movies don't work but oh well. Really though, after looking at the US marketplace, I see what all the hype is about. The US one is so much more streamlined, easier to use, and better/more free content. I love it!

Sorry for the double post, but I think that this is needed. Marketplace is going global by the end of the year! It was announced at E3! YES!
