    US version of RB2

    Is the RB2 game from the US definitely region locked?
    I have to admit to the 360's use of region locking being the consoles biggest achilles heel imo, I'd love to be able to remove it

    Regional locked game

    Sorry to hear it. Digital gift purchases are region locked to the country that it was originally purchased in. The person who bought you the gift will need to contact phone support to see if they can get a region free code or a refund on the purchase.
    If they live in North America they can dial 1-800-469-9269 or they can click this link to speak with support via chat

    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.

    Cant download resident evil 6

    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

    Got $20 on Microsoft account and cant buy NOTHING

    Both games are region locked

    Any resident evil or kinect game is region locked

    Anything that is triple a titles are region locked

    Since both games that are free this month isn't a major title there is no region lock on them

    For the best experience with live your account region must match your actual region

    However you don't live in an Xbox live region

    There is no way to refund prepaid currency cards

    You will have to find a game that isn't region locked

    Most triple a titles are though

    XBOX 360 PAL TO NTSC COUNTRY

    The region locks technically aren't even NTSC/PAL locks because such a differential does not exist within the console. The games are just coded with a region lock. When a region locked game is loaded on a console from another region, it will display an
    error message. If a game is region free, it does not look for what region the console comes from and continues to run. The region lock outs for Xbox 360 games these days are down to the publishers, nothing more.

    Xbox One on the other hand has no regional lock outs at all for disc games. You can play any Xbox One game on any Xbox One console. There are certain region locks for downloads, but that has nothing to do with NTSC and PAL.

    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
