Regional Problem

Fusion Affect · Apr 14, 2016

hey microsoft!

recently, i've been having a problem w/ dead space due to regional issues (this games region code doesn't match)

you can view the forum here;

http://forums.xbox.com/xbox_support/xbox_360_support/f/27/t/2142620.aspx

now, when i tried to download DS, it gave me the error code and i assumed, changing region would change my region code.

so what i did, i researched on dead space and it's region compatibility which showed it's only ntsc compatible.

i migrated into the US hoping it would change it.

i was wrong.

i'm now stuck downloading US (NTSC) games w/ a PAL console and i wish to kindly request for another region migration ASAP.

i don't want to waste a 3 months on games w/ gold because i have a 3 month membership.

:)

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?

If they're the same format, they should be fine.

Do you have a single game you could try for experiment's sake?

I'd suggest contacting Microsoft Support, they'll be able to assist you with the account migration.

Sorry to hear you're having this issue. Some content cannot be downloaded to a region that it was not intended for. In this case, you were unable to download Dead Space.

A region can only be changed once every 3 months. I'm afraid you'll need to wait until that time is up before you can change back again.

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.

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.
