    There's not a lot you can do. You could try a proxy server, as mentioned above, or wait until MS releases XBox LIVE to Romania. Which could take a long time.

    Well into the next generation of console, if anything by the looks of it.

    Hello,

    The Xboxone does not have a region lock. However keep in mind of different voltage used for power sources. Do not wanna fry your brand new system!

    Disk games are not region locked however Each region has its own digital store.

    Xbox gift cards ARE region locked, so if you plan to hook your nephews up with some games, keep that in mind.

    What I would suggest is to send them the money to purchase the console where they are. That way they don't need to worry about the power difference for the console. Also, please remember that Xbox 360 Backwards Compatible titles are region locked so some
    older games may not play for them.

    Region lock

    India is part of xbox regions so I would suggest you to get an xbox device in your area. Content and availability changes from region to region

    Well there is your answer

    Region locks only apply to region locked content

    Yes there are games that are region locked and your accoung region and actual region must match

    Resident evil is one of many region locked content

    Issues regarding dlc and digital codes for xbox 360

    If the game is region locked then a code for the game will be region locked. In order to download region locked content, your account region has to match your physical location and you have to be in a region where the game is available.

    HELP i cant Download or buy anything

    As mister gwyther said certain content are region locked blackops is region locked

    Not all content is region locked it is ideal to create an account in your actual region

    Prepaid dlc codes like gears of war and blackops are region locked and will fail before completion

    Remeber the region locks are not limited to those two games

    But for games and dlc you have the issue with your best option is to buy your actual region

    This code can't be redeemed. It was purchased in a different region from your account.

    No. Gifting is region locked and there is no way around region locking.

    Can't Download Sleeping Dogs (Region Error)

    Bios hock is region locked but not ntsc or pal region locked

    Region locks don't always apply to games that's why we suggest your location match your actual region and buy consoles and games from your actual region
