Korean Xbox 360 in US

Guru Cooldeep · May 12, 2017

Hello there,

I have a South Korean xbox360, which I am planning to move to the US with me.

Is it possible to use there? I know about the voltage difference. 220V to 110V, so if I change my power adapter, will it work? and is it easy to buy US compatible power adapters for Xbox 360? Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks, K

:)

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

Not sure if this is the right area to post this question, so I apologize in advance if this post causes and annoyance or confusion.

I'm an American living in South Korea and I intend to buy a South Korean Xbox 360. I want to use my US account () on my Korean 360 instead of making a new Korean Xbox Live account.

Is it possible to do this?

Does the Korean region have a marketplace with downloadable titles? If so, where can I find a comprehensive list titles available?

Do I have to change the region in order to us my Xbox Live account on my Korean Xbox 360? I tried to change my Xbox account region on
Sign in to your Microsoft account, but South Korea wasn't on the list of available options.

If I can indeed change regions, do I still have to use my US banking card or do I use my Korean banking card when making purchases on the marketplace?.

Thanks in advance.

I ask Microsoft. (Bioshock Sales Request)

Would you sell Bio Shock(360, korean version) in 'korean xbox store'?

Why not sell?

Year 2008, BioShock was launched in South Korea With Korean subtitles.

This year is 2017.

I can not get a 10 year old game DVD at the game shop.

Please sell it soon.

Hey there, Guru!

You shouldn't run into any major issues moving to the US if you change your adapter. You might run into some game play issues with games you purchased in Korea based on geolocation locks on Xbox 360 games. You will want to do a
region migration to migrate your Korean account to the US in order to avoid that, however you may lose access to some games you purchased in Korea if they aren't available in the US.

Please do post back if you have any other concerns once you're here in the US! I'm happy to help out where I can.

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:

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

Can't I simply change the region on the Xbox after I download my profile?

You will have to do an account migration to be able to use your account and purchase content and ect. If you cannot find the option on the website, you may have to contact xbox support and request they do an account migration escalation. They will have to
send it up to a tier 3 agent and it may take a couple weeks to get taken care of but that is what is needed if you plan on staying in Korea for a while.

Only take that option if you cannot get your account migrated from the website as your region like you stated wasn't showing up. I personally havn't checked to see myself what there is but if you cannot find it then the only other option would be to contact
support for them to migrate your account manually.

When migrating, I believe you will/may lose any currency currently on your account so be sure to spend them and once switched, your us bank card probably will not be able to be used, so you will have to use your Korean banking account
