Wait, does the digital VC of the XBone have a region lock? How does that work? Doesn't the console read the game, identify it and downloads a digital copy of it from the digital store? What is there to lock?

Technical for Xone not, it is more like netflix like that you need for every product a license.  Like some preview games for Xone don't have a license for a country. So if you live like me in Belgium you will not see Ark survival in the store but you can buy it if you make an US account.  I am only not sure what happen if I play it with my Belgian account and the game needs an update.

Edit: for Xbox 360 it is basically for some games like Gears of war, etc that are locked in Germany.

Ooooh, I see now. Thanks :)
