    Region Change?


    So I am visiting my friend in Japan and he had an idea that I should bring back a 360 so that I can play some of the games I buy over here. If I bring the Xbox home(USA) can I play those games with my profile or is it against the TOS or something? I heard
    a few years ago you could get banned for that. Would my profile work with the Xbox too, or would I need to change my profile region?

    :)

    Will The Xbox One Ever Catch The PS4 In Sales?

    We'd better just wait when the XB1 releases in the other regions. We're only seeing sale figures in total from few regions but not yet from the other regions.

    Region completion stats. One region gives you 33%, there are three regions. Complete all of them, you get 100% region completion.

    Region Change?

    Hi,

    First you will have to check if Japanese games are NTSC and if so, you will be able to play these ones with your US console.

    You can play these games with your profile without breaking the TOS and regarding a region change, this will be better if you plan to buy digital games to avoid some issues as you will be directed to the US markeplace.

    Well I know I can play same region games but I bought a NTSC-J 360 so I can play games my friend gave me. My friend said he knows one his cousin that lives in the states plays his *** 360.

    Does the TOS have any rules about this that I could skim over?

    Region change

    Ms points are region locked to the region they were purchased in

    Government regulations do apply its copyright and distibution rights

    What is allowed in the us is not nessarily allowed in uk or Canada

    Like Netflix us is not allowed in Canada due to the CRTC requirements

    Nor is us films in Netflix allowed in uk due to distibution rights you need uk Netflix

    Region change

    Gold isn't region free just like Microsoft points aren't.

    It is split up into sections, North America (so the OP should be able to use a USA Gold on a Canadian account), Europe (I have a UK account but lived in Sweden for 6 years and used my UK account nomally. Now I live in the USA and Microsoft have all but blocked
    my account from buying anything because they won't even let me add UK points anymore so I have a 6 year old account, 100k+ GamerScore, thousands of GBP worth of DLC invested in it and because Microsoft won't allow you to change region on your account it is
    now next to useless. Starting a new account is NOT an option when you spent so much money on DLC when Microsoft clearly CAN allow region changes like they did with the new territories that the OP mentioned.) and Asia.
