    So. After a long time of thinking I finally got One today and obviously was excited to set it up to be ready for some gaming. The setup asked what language I wanna use. I decided I want to use the console in English as I'm used to having my 360 in English
    so I figured I'd be more familiar with the system in that language. So, then it asked for where I live. A list of English speaking countries and a few odd ones like Hungary or Slovakia. No Finland or any other Nordic country to choose from. I thought it was
    a bit weird but ended up picking the UK thinking the setting was as useless as the locale setting on the 360. Went to the Marketplace and what do I see? Prices in British pounds. The only way to see the Finnish prices turned out to require me to have my location
    set to Finland. That's ok and expected. What isn't ok is that the console doesn't allow me to use it in English and keep my country as Finland. Why not? Why am I not free to choose from all of the available languages regardless of my home country? I much prefer
    English even if my native language is Finnish - I simply don't even understand some of the options in Finnish as I do all my tech stuff in English! Since the console obviously contains all those languages, why not let the user freely pick a preferred language?

    PS. There is a significant Swedish speaking minority in Finland yet they can't now choose Swedish apparently since choosing Finland only offers Finnish. What is this backwards thinking Microsoft has going on?

    :)

    You're right, I tried to set the Russian at the console and the game runs in Russian. This therefore means however, that the time needed in the English version of the extra Czech. This is commonly available on the market, but the code that I have that I
    can not support. Do you agree with me?

    People already left feedback on the 360 language settings. Nothing changed. This is more like a rant now. You'd think MS had realized they messed up with the 360 language settings and let players choose a language they want this time around. Nope. Didn't
    happen...

    We gave direct feedback and plenty of us posted on the forums and some even called support to see if we're missing something. The message obviously didn't go through but somehow MS managed to make it even worse as previously you could have at least some
    of the stuff in your preferred language. Meh, just let me vent here my frustration of not being heard by anyone at MS and paying 439€ for a console that doesn't let me pick a language I'm most comfortable with. Microsoft doesn't care.

    Well you can go to your system settings and change the language you choose to see to english on your dashboard. Or it could be that when you made the xbox live account you gave them an address that people speak dutch with try making a new account if possible
    and putting american information inside. Or this could be the case that you regestered your consol to netherland( which meens your set it to this) causeing everything to be in dutch.

    You didn't manage to call support? Why?

    Absence Czech me quite sorry. The game itself is not the language. I know that the change is applied only to the subtitles. I tried in the console to set the locale and language of Germany and the running game is still in English. So I really do not know.
