What about content already downloaded any paid for? Will the licenses be revoked?More to the point, what about countries where Microsoft hasn&#039;t launched the service officially yet? Most people here have registered foreign accounts. Which makes sense considering you&#039;re paying for a console where half of its features are advertised as being Live. Funnily enough, the price of the console isn&#039;t halved, even though you cant access them through official means.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yeah, hard to see how this will work.
