Will this allow me to... you know... use proxies? :)
I.e., connect via a US-Proxy in order to get full access to the US Video Store from the EU?

I don't think it helps or hinders using proxies. But, if you're referring to the iTunes Store, you need more than a US proxy to buy from the US store--I'm pretty sure you need a credit card with a US billing address.

I'm talking about the Xbox Live Video Store as well as the Games Downloads. See, due to certain restrictions, citicens of certain countries can't access certain content offered on XBL Marketplace. That's for... uhm.. certain, sorry.

They check two things: Your address, your IP. E.g., if you're a Swiss or British citizen, but happen to live in Germany (and thus connecting via a german provider), you can't access content deemed "unappropriate" for Germans.

Having the Xbox360 connect via a Mac which in turn would connect via a proxy COULD at least give me access to said content. US citizens could use that method to get access to the US Video Store on XBLM.
