Hi i live in the UK and i have two profiles my main profile that i use (UK profile) and a second one that is just for friends coming over (US profile) I noticed on the US marketplace they had "jurassic park games" in the on demand section to buy i was wondering would i be able to put points on my US Account download it and play it using my UK account even though i live in the UK?

Don't quote me on this but i think once it's on your Xbox any Profile can play it
Get a second opinion though I'm not 100% Positive

It should work I'm in the U.S now, and I have funds on my Japanese profile and I can still download games, demos and addons for them.
watch the Japanese version of Inside Xbox even though the American one has been canceled. Although I think the free Avatar downloads get locked to the account that downloads them.
Games and such can be played on your main account even though it didn't download it. As I have the Skullgirls on my Jp account as well.

The only problem you should come across is your ip adderss. I moved to Japan a year ago and the only way for me to download any content that's U.S. only is to use an ip blocker.

That's not entirely true, there are some games that even if you use a trick such as a proxy to make it think you're downloading it through an IP address from the region the game is for it still wont let you download the game.
Take Fable 2 for example, if you get the download started, if you're console isn't the right "region" then it will get to 99% and just freeze.

Just create a new account and set your region to the UK during registration.
