    The error message reads: The geographic area code of this console is incorrect. I'm confused. I had never had any issues with new or second-hand games before. Any idea what does it mean?

    The majority of xbox 360 games are region locked so it sounds like the disc you bought if from a different region than your console.

    It is not an alpha going to do that in the slightest. Different companies pay to have the distribution rights to a piece of intellectual property in a certain region. If you do not protect their sales, they will no longer invest in future movies or games,
    and part of the contract that they signed states of those rights must be protected. Whether or not that rights holder chooses to format it in a different video standard, or to lock it down with a region code is entirely up to them. You will absolutely find
    pelvis that our region coded. I have a great many from Germany that are distributed by Universal in the United States. All region Blocked. And this is material from the 70s. Why? Because they only Own it in Germany

    There are no commercial Blu-ray players that are region free. You’ve purchased a modified deck. It is a violation of the Blu-ray license to produce a region free player, and whatever company does can be heavily fined, and sued. Ask Apex about it

    Region locking is not limited to DVD and BD, console games have the same problem.

    I consider it unethical to do that. My BD player can fix PAL disks fine and they play fine, it is region free.
