How to Make Your Xbox Think It's in the U.S.

Your Xbox, even when it's hooked into the Xbox Live interface, only knows the information that you input. When you fill out your account information--including your name, address, and billing information--you're telling the Xbox where it's located. This information also is given out in your gamer profile. To make your Xbox think it's in the US, even when it isn't, you should change this information to reflect a U.S. address and phone number.
