What you described works only for part of the games. Please choose in the same situation, say, Tomb Raider Legend.

"Given that most of the ads are for gametap products, and we can't actually BUY said products, its kinda odd they'd let us play the free one abroad, but not let us pay them."

That's the most ridiculous thing - they don't want my money!

"Anyone know what happens after a month if I haven't finished TR:Legend? Will it just disappear from my hard drive, or will i be allowed to finish it?"

I'm afraid that that would be impossible to play after that date without paying... so, basically the free service is still useless unless you play only small retro games.

"Um, so don't log in. You can play the games without logging in."

No, you can't. The play free option is disabled when you're not logged in and you cannot get the free account if you're outside US (like me).

It's a pity you didn't ask for the following problem:

We apologize but the GameTap service is currently only available in the United States and Canada. The GameTap service will be expanding into additional countries in 2007 but no release dates are available at this time.

What's funny: the polish comedy you mentioned, is not available to download from Poland :-)
