| KhinRunite said: Just bought a 360 (the 4GB+Kinect bundle). Unfortunately what I have is NTSC-J so I'm obligated to do some extra research before buying games. I have some questions regarding region locking on Xbox 360. - Does it apply to digital content? When browsing XBL marketplace, I notice that some games don't have a "Buy" option. I guess it depends on my console/region? - Is it safe to assume that if there is a "Buy" option, it will run on my console? - What's this I read about GOLD membership being region free? Does that mean if I subscribe to GOLD all this worrying about region locked games will go away? For physical media, it's easy enough for me to understand, as I had a PS1 and PS2. |
not 200% sure but 199.9%
- yes region lock even for digital content
- no it might not run because of region lock
- does just mean it doesnt matter if your gold membership is bought in the us eu asia or japan. if you buy 12months in any region you will get 12months.
doesnt make the console region free, just the codes of the gold membership are region free
asume 99% of the games bought in asia/us region locked. many eu ones aren't though compared to other regions.
better safe than sorry.
also own an ntsc-j one but also an pal one (or 3 though 2 rrod :() for non import games.
