Hi
I'm planning on buying a 360. I live in Japan, but English is my first language. I'm worried about whether I can download games like Settlers of Cataan from Live in English.
I have a friend here who has a Japanese 360 but a UK account, so he has no problems with things like this - for the purposes of Live he is in the UK. I know from him that I can buy lots of NTSC-J Asian releases (meant for Singapore etc) if I want English games on discs, but it's the downloaded stuff that I worry about.
So, to sum up - can I download games like Settlers of Cataan to a Japanese 360?

I figure I could take a bear.
