or Hulu that are region restricted ,US only sites, you need to access the internet via  a US based proxy that assigns your PC a US based I.P address.Si Its as if you are sitting in the US. I'm not a techie but have been trying to figure out how best to access Netflix.Apparenly there are  internet based ISP companies that provide proxy access via VPN for a annual fee ( $87 at one place) which isnt too bad. You still a fast connection. THe only thing is your connection is been routed via a VPN tunnel (correct me if I'm wrong here) and isnt supposed to impact bandwidth negatively ( atleast not too much anyways..)

Hope this helps.

 

BTW - I just picked up both the Xbox 4gb Kinect and the Wii here in the US and realized the power brick issue. I will be able to get one in Qatar that has the local pin/connector right ? Let a brother know.
