    Be Cautious when purchasing "NEW" Xbox Original titles!


    Hello there!

    Earlier I purchased two Xbox original games: Jade Empire (Because I am a Bioware fan), and a Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy. Well, I have a refund on the Sphinx game, everyone were so helpful. Yesterday I tried
    to download Jade Empire and the same problem occured, around 80% exited, the game corrupted. I pretty sure both games region locked, I am from Hungary, but I wouldn't be surprised if others from Europe have the same problem.

    I dont want refund on this game!!!

    So my purpose with this to warn you guys before purchase these classic old titles
    you might have the same problem! Microsoft Engineers might have a solution in the future, I'll wait maybe I'll be able to play someday.

    :)

    Hi there BadJamesBack,

    Thank you for the following information have you been able to contact microsoft support so they can look into this issue further, as I remember I had a few games like this and it was the actual server image installed on the actual xbox system they use rather
    than a region issue.

    It wouldn't hurt to speak with someone about it and see if they get the same results their end.

    Kind Regards

    Alec

    Were the only 3 games you downloaded backward compatible games? For some reason some people been having issues with installing games on the BC list.

    Basically I tried everything. Of course every 2 week I am going to try download again.

    Other games like

    Black

    Splinter Cell 1-4

    Ninja Gaiden Black

    Indiana Jones and the Emperors Tomb

    Psychonauts

    Armed and Dangerous

    Fuzion Frenzy

    UC 2

    might have the same problems as well.

    I have to add I have more than 60 games on my hard drive and all works fine.

    I downloaded 3 games after I had this issue, and they are downloaded first without problem.
