  1. Dashboard region migration


    Is the dashboard exactly the same for all European countries? Meaning: including but not limited to things like avatar items, games, DLC, TV and Video content.

    What if I buy a German xbox360 and I play it in Belgium? Will all my avatar items, games, DLC etc. - previously downloaded while connected in Belgium - be available to me or do German consoles get a different dashboard with different content?

    Thank you.

    :)

    Using a US Xbox Live Account on a Korean Xbox 360.

    A few small additions when moving the account to another region:

    - the dashboard might be shown in that regions language as well

    - Any balance currently on the account will be removed

    - An Account migration can only be done once every 3 months

    - You may loose any previously bought content

    For full information on the Account Migration check this link:
    support.xbox.com/.../change-region


    If you don't migrate your account you may not be able to purchase/download any content digitally due to region differences etc

    Switching from a US Xbox 360 to a UK Xbox One

    You can do an account region migration when you move, and get the new Xbox. You can do this through the dashboard as well.

    .

    However. After the migration, some or even all DLC that you have purchased in the past, may not be available to you, on the Xbox 360 or Xbox One.

    Dashboard region migration

    Is your account german?

    If yo you will automatically log into the german dashboard.

    BUT it is possible that you can´t get all the german content you want while in Belgium.

  5. (I am writing on xbox forums with a different account than the one I mention in my posts)

    account: Belgian, registered while connected to xbox live in Belgium

    xbox360: German (bought in Germany)

    How does xbox live determine what region I am from? By IP address? By the region that is tied to my account when it was created? In the latter case, I suppose I would log into the Belgian dashboard?

    I am confused, because I read around that the region of an xbox360 is also hardcoded into the console itself, so I don't know which factors determine which dashboard I log into and which DLC content I get etc.

    Issues with account migration - Dashboard and billing info are still the same!

    Billing issues are not the problem per say. The dashboard is. It is like I still have an US account and this is giving me region mismatch problems, the ones I tried to solve by doing the migration.
