Recently bought myself a NTSC-U console and was wondering if i created a US account and bouhgt some US MSP to buy games on demand and play them on my british account or is this kind of thing against the rules and likely to get your account banned?

No. When you buy a region console creating a "local" account and buying "local" points is a given, really.

I think you need a "local" IP address if you want to buy GoD games, so it wouldn't work with just a US account. I might be wrong though.

GoD games are region locked. It would allow you to buy them via an ntsc-u account but the xbox live server would corrupt the download due to you ip address. There are ways around it if you know about proxy servers but they normally cost a bit anyway so it would probably be cheaper to import the disc version.

I know people who have moved abroad and now cannot download previous purchased GoD content. A friend of mine got around this by bringing a HDD with him while I holiday here and used my box to download a ton of stuff!

Arcade games as of yet do not have the same problems.

Not all GOD games are region locked. Cyber troopers virtual on force GOD on the hong kong marketplace before May of this year you were able to download without a VPN but now you need a VPN to download this game.

Most of the GOD games that I know of that you can download without a VPN are on the Hong Kong marketplace but most of them require a Japanese console to play them on.
