  1. PAL / NTSC Game Sonic Unleashed bought and can't play in Europe (PAL)


    A few weeks ago I bought game "Sonic Unleashed" that is PAL/NTSC on
    Xbox store.

    When I started it, it says wrong disc format message.

    I was looking EVERYWHERE and the only answer was, that i can't do anything.



    Is there any way, that i can play the game or something?

    :)

  2. Playing Japanese Xbox 360 games on US console

    Usually japanese games dont play on a us console, we are ntsc based so if a japanese disc has pal any where on it, that would be a no go. NTSC and PAL are different region based games and can be applied to consoles or discs.

    US=NTSC Europe=PAL

  3. problem with start up just danse 2014

    the Problem is: a console or a game purchased in europe is using PAL Standards, USA is using NTSC Standards, and both do not mix well, so the game wont start unless both are either PAL or both are NTSC.

    did you buy the game as a physical disc, or purchase the digital game thru the xbox store?

    if you have a physical disc, they are usually region locked. Sonic Unleashed specifically comes as a PAL-only compatible disc, or an NTSC/U + NTSC/J disc. i do not believe there is a Region Free copy, or any copy that would work on both PAL and NTSC/U
    consoles. unfortunately you would need a different disc to play on a PAL console if the copy you have is not compatible.

    I bought digital version on computer on xbox.com. Everyone in my country are playing this game with physical disc.

    I have a feeling, that I bought NTSC version, because of error/bug.

    I think, if i buy physical version with PAL symbol, it should work

    How to fix error code 0x8082000c (backwards compatibility)?

    This can be a bit odd. But if you live in Europe, the disc is PAL or NTSC?
    If it's NTSC you may need to get the PAL version

    And the opposite if you live in America
