You guys do realise that you can only play xbox ones in the country they're bought in ?
The xbox one games are not region locked. However, the xbox one console IS.
Meaning you can't play online in the country you live in if your console is from another country.
This also means that you can't download the Day one patch, which renders your console unplayable.

you're both wrong. ..or both right. depends on how you want to dice that.

yeah and the payement option is tied to your XBL account not your console.... again I'll guarantee you that my US console will work in France with french services and content with my french XBL account and CC and my US account will be able to buy content on the US marketplace with my US XBL account and my US CC and if I want to access service I just have to power up my VPN service...
|
awesome for you.. you apparently live in france which is a teir 1 country. what about they guys the in holland and brussels (to which assasist was responding)? are their live accounts being paid for with a CCs associated with a teir 1 country too or will they run into the issue MS clearly detailed out to those types of customers? ..and if they can't access live how are they going to access that manditory day-1 patch?
|
What are you trying to say? The mandatory day-one patch is accessable worldwide, no internet probably means no Xbox One but that is not limited to the non-launch countries.
If live-accounts from non-launch countries won't be able access Xbox Live (there has been no statement on that as far as I know) they can simply change their region to one of the launch countries.
|
unless the country you are in has a firewall blocking XBL like china does with the great firewall of china.... live from your country is accessible from anywhere given that you have an internet connection...
once again this is tied to your account not your console or your country you are located.... only services might be locked if you are outside of your XBL acct country of origine ..... ie right now if I plug in my XB with my Endimyon acct it will pop up all the US content marketplace apps etc even US advertising I can play online MP... I can buy stuff.... but if I want to use netflix I have to be behind my VPN pointing at a US IP
I don't see why that would change.... heck even ob WP8 phones it works like that I purshase all my apps on the US market place.....
