IP tied??? that's not possible a lot of people have non static IPs from their ISPs.... I'm personnaly using VPN services and get random IPs all the time.... they might be account tied but certainly not IP tied....

Ah you're right, I forgot about that stuff.

Well, it was something that MS had said, but I think I had it wrong. The original quote was more along the lines of "ip range":

"Responding to Twitter user Gregor Ivezic's (@gi4ouR) question "Xbox One will block activation of games if outside of the IP range of a supported country? What if i travel a lot?", the @XboxSupport2 account replied "You'll be able to play when you return home. I travel with an Xbox 360 for road gaming.""

""While the console itself is not geographically restricted, a user’s Xbox Live account, content, apps and experiences are all tied to the country of billing and residence.""

The word residence is the part that makes the implication, unless they meant "country of residence"

yeah make sens...

but if XB is zone free in theory I can buy a game in japan and play it on a US bought XB.... but content on the marketplace will be region based as always.... otherwise everybody would be buying in the cheapest market.... nothing new here....

you got me worried for a sec lol
