As with previous versions of the Zune Software, in 4.0 Microsoft limits and hides the Zune Marketplace from being viewed by those outside of the USA. This is a precautionary measure to ensure the maximum level of Zune goodness is enjoyed by those it was intended for.
According to WithinWindows:
If you’re positive you should be seeing these features, don’t panic. Microsoft spent a lot of time programming some overrides for you. Simply navigate to HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftZune and create a key called FeaturesOverride. Within this key, create a DWORD for each feature you want to enable and set its value to 1. A list of tweakables follow.
- Quickplay
- Marketplace
- Picks
- Videos
- MusicVideos
- Podcasts
- Channels
- Games
- SubscriptionFreeTracks
- SignInAvailable (allows restricted locales to sign in!)
- FirstLaunchIntroVideo
- MBRRental
- MBRPurchase
- MBRPreview
They also provided a registry key, for those of us who don’t want to be messing around with Registry, which can be downloaded here.
