    Ok so idk if anyone has ever had problems with iTunes saying your security code is invalid, but its happened to me a couple times, so I used my UK account to get some limited time free games. My question is, since they are in my iTunes applications, will I receive updates for them if I'm on my US account? Or would I would I have to switch to my UK account to check for updates?

    You'll have to switch, on your iPod it'll notify you of all the updates available, both US and UK, but clicking one for the account you're not on will just cancel and tell you it's the wrong region. It's quite annoying because you can't use the "Update All" button, if there's a UK app in the middle of the list it'll cancel all the other updates when it gets to it.

    So you're pretty much confined to using iTunes on your PC/mac for updates since it's a hassle switching accounts on the device.

    As for iTunes, it's kinda weird... it'll tell you about all of the updates for both accounts, but then it'll only dispay the ones for the account you're on.

    You'll get charged :p I accidentally bought Lunarcy from the UK store when I already had the US one via promo code.
