Forums - Microsoft - Is the Xbox360 region free?

Hey,

 

i was just wondering if the games for the 360 are region free. I have got a German Xbox360, a German HDTV and I want to have some Black Friday Deals.

 

If it depends on the game, how can I see which game is playable?

 

Please help me out. THANKS!



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Around the Network

NO it is not region free if that was the case I already would have import Tales of Vesperia.






the 360 isnt, but some games are. you have to google for the games with compatibility.

 

edit:

@konnichiwa - yes, ToV is one of these games with region code.. :(

 

edit 2:

this list shows you some of the rgion free games:

beachte nur folgendes  butnotice:

 

Note: Games sold in and intended for use in Germany are very likely to be region-locked even though other PAL-country versions of the same game are not. If your PAL-format game does not work on NTSC/UC or NTSC/J region Xbox 360s, please be absolutely sure that your game is not the German version before reporting that fact.

 

(but this should only be necessary for german games, not consoles.)

 

 



I'm a Foreigner, and as such, i am grateful for everyone pointing out any mistakes in my english posted above - only this way i'll be able to improve. thank you!

Try looking at play-asia.com to see if the game you want is there and then try to get one from the U S of A.



All those SHMUPs that Japan is getting are not region free. I am one fo the people that would pay 50 dollars for a copy of a game that lasts 3 hours...yet I can't.

Seems kind of silly Microsoft...
