    Another DLC region lock qestion


    I'm about to buy Xboxone. But I have no any experience with XBL before.

    I'm living in Japan and I willing to buy USreg Game (GTAV) and JPNreg game (Forza h2)

    1. Will I have problems with downloading with DLC region-compatibility? Does xbox360 has it (GTA V)

    2. Forza H2's multiplayer region locked for Japan?

    3. XBL jpn and XBLus are diferent? (content etc.)

    thank you

    :)

    Another DLC region lock qestion

    Games are usually not region locked. Only limitation is that you cannot buy digital purchases on a different marketplace then the one of your country as you need proper payment and billing informations on your account for purchases.

    1. There is no region lock on games usually so you will not enocuter problems.

    2. Multiplayer games have worldwide access to servers and are not region locked or limitated to local servers.

    3. There are different offers on the different marketplaces of course as there are also region only apps and services available, especially in the movie and tv sector. Also there is the above explained limitation on digital purchases.

    Region Lock on Games with Gold.

    I have another question, since Region Locked games don't download, will I be able to get DLC for games? Fo example the Destiny DLC?

    -Thanks, Joona J.

    Fallout: NV restarts download at 80%

    if your PHYSICAL region doesn;'t match your actual region it can cause problems with region locked DLC

    this is why we always suggest those two match

    now if you purchased the game while in the region but then used the migration tool

    the content may not be available in that region



    this is why there is region locks

    it does not apply to all DLC

    there is no definite list if it is a AAA title it is most likely region locked edue to different content laws



    the migration tool is meant for people to move not temporary moves



    nor is it meant to gain access to dlc your not supposed to have



    that is the answer



    when creating an account you have to use your ACTUAL region and if you migrate you forfeit access to some DLC

    this is why we suggest you create another account if it is a temporary move

    Anyway to use a UK Points code on Canadian 360?

    DLC, Games, suscription (XBL Gold) and ms points are region locked so no you cant transfer nor use them in another region thus why it tells you the code is invalid.

    HELP i cant Download or buy anything

    As mister gwyther said certain content are region locked blackops is region locked

    Not all content is region locked it is ideal to create an account in your actual region

    Prepaid dlc codes like gears of war and blackops are region locked and will fail before completion

    Remeber the region locks are not limited to those two games

    But for games and dlc you have the issue with your best option is to buy your actual region
