A US Account !
I have an 8X with a US account (I used the same account as my Xbox 360) in Saudi Arabia , I get all the US only stuff !
I sill use iTunes for Podcasts though , Force of hobbit .
I'm not sure If I'd recommend using a US account outside the US , Since I still can't figure out how to use a Saudi Credit card with it , When You try to add the card information to purchase something , the billing address is locked to a US based address /
