  1. Playing Overseas


    Hey folks,

    Later this year I'll be moving to the UK for work from Australia. Obviously I want to take my X1 but I just want to check if it will work over there. I know I'll need to get an adapter for the power, but will any games I buy tnere and on-line functions work?

    Cheers.

    :)

    "This offer is not valid in your region, or it has expired."

    Alright, so after attempting to redeem a code for a game, I get the above mentioned error. I'm in the US Army stationed in South Korea. I just bought an Xbox 360 Kinect that included two games; FableIII, and Halo: Reach download code. I purchased the Xbox
    brand new from the Post Exchange(PX). For those of you that don't know, they import everything from the states. The Xbox, games, and my Xbox Live account are all North America region. Keep in mind, every game Ive tried works so far on this
    console except the redeeming of Halo: Reach Full Game Download.

    I've tried on both Xbox.com and Xbox Marketplace. It always comes back with the same error; "This offer is not valid in your region, or it has expired." I've changed my locale from United States to Korea and vice versa. I'm out of options, and before I
    call up Xbox(because its not cheap), I wanted to check on here for any ideas. Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks

    online play laggy.

    check your recently played list, you may have gotten dumped in an overseas server.

    Lag

    [quote user="Zehq"]

    I always get lag on overseas servers, it's happened on every game I play, even BC2. -.-

    I've gotten used to the BF lag, it's really not as bad as CoDs.

    Well yes connecting to a server in a different country oversea can give roughly a 2 second delay of response.
