Region Locked DLC

HI Guys

Is DLC region locked now?

I was playing a game quite happily the other day which was originally purchased in europe via dlc. Now its telling me that it wont play it on my uk console. anyone know what's going on?

:)

 

IS DLC region locked

well thats a given

prepaid dlc codes are region locked to the account region so if you get japanese code and you have an american account then it will be invalid

blackops dlc in particular is region locked to the physical region and the region it was purchased in

 

Unable to download content from Marketplace

you have to remeber not all content is region locked

for the nest experience with live your account region and actual region should match

alot of dlc like blackops is region locked

bu this doesnt apply to every single dlc

 

No, DLC is not region locked.

Have you tried deleting it and re-installing it?

 

Incorrect.Most digital stuff on the xbox one is now region locked.

When it first released it was region free but to many people were setting up accounts in the wrong region to get digital content cheaper so now it's mostly region locked.

 

Thats so cheeky of them. Seriously. We are all on the EU. We should be able to buy content from wherever we want. Thats whats happened to me then. They could have only just done it for metal gear as i was playing it a few days ago.

 

Whoops! I didn't know. I do apologise, Stupops.

 

I think i am about to jump on that Steam Machine wagon. Same products. Better prices. Less bullsh!t. I have been with xbox since original launch and think a change is as good as a holiday.

 

DLC is region locked on Steam too.

If you think there is less *** on the PC then take a look at Arkham Knight. Multiplatform games are made with consoles in mind, the PC version is often an afterthought.

 

I have steam on my not great pc and it seems to be about the same level of broken as my xbox one. The joy of steam is that i can play everything and more at much more reasonable prices. I am started to get annoyed over forking out for my live subscription
as well. When you think about it what do you get? Games at a higher price that you can buy for trade ins and erm......multiplayer. Which i dont do much of really.

 

Why are you getting annoyed over something so trivial? Live costs £20 a year. Hardly breaks the bank.

 

@Stupops

What are we getting for our £20 a year? how's about:

1: 24 free games a year (going up to 48 free games a year once BC gets fully released)

2: A built in party chat system

3: 24/7 (usually) storage space for save files

4: Weekly discounts on games

5: Access to multiplayer in games

6: Updates to games that automatically download and install

7: Updates to consoles that automatically download and install

All of this which runs on huge very expensive server farms dotted around the world (the company I work for built one for Microsoft in Amsterdam a few years ago, I know how expensive it was)

Basically £20 for all that is not very much.

 

And you can get a years xbox live cheaper now than when it first started.

If you buy direct from Microsoft it's £40 & that price has never changed,how many things can you say that about?

I get my live from cdkeys & it's £20 for 12 months,i call that extremely cheap for everything you get.
