    Region problem


    Hello. I am in South Africa and bought a gift for my nephew. Bought from the South African link in the Microsoft store, from a South African Account, the price was also listed in my currency, and the Xbox and account I purchased it for is registered as South
    African.

    Store Link

    Buy Unravel - Microsoft Store en-ZA

    Message from his Xbox:

    Contact the seller to get a code that works in your region. This code was purchased in a different region and cannot be redeemed.

    How do I cancel or change this?

    T

    :)

    You should have no problem, the console is not region locked.

    Glad it's region free. Does this apply to movie playback as well? Do you think I'd have issues watching other region DVDs on it? My friend had a problem with his Xbox 360 not playing certain region 1 DVDs.

    Region problem

    Hello,

    The account migration will let you migrate to any region as there are a lot more Microsoft services that are in many different countries. You'd need to do some checking to find out if your country/region is a LIVE enabled region by looking at the list of countries
    here.

    Unfortunately, now that you've changed your region to an unsupported LIVE region you'd need to wait 3 months before you're able to change regions back. There's unfortunately no way to speed this process up.

    regional problem

    but all the games sold in indonesia are all in NTSC, well most of them…

    so i can play it as long as it's NTSC? there's no regional encryption or anything on the console or the games?

    The region problem

    Right, Content is region specific and your IP is a digital footprint of where you live so no matter if you lie about where you are at or not you will not be able to download region specific content at all because xbox live is not supported in your region
    hence there will not be any content for your region. A quick google search shows many petitions to get xbox live in Israel you could sign one of those and hopefully in the near future you will be able to have xbox live in your country.
