    That would normally indicate a region error. What's the code you're trying to redeem, which region are you located in? That information will be needed to narrow this down, as a new code will not resolve the error.

    Post back with that info so we can assist further! Thanks! replacement key still not ok ... :)

    you have to live in an xbox live region and not Japan or China

    And us foreign bases don't count as the US you have to use the host country

    Hungary is the region set/seen on the xbox.com webpage (bottom left corner).
    The code ... is what i got from the MS rep (Mister Cizl).

    I guess I shouldn't reply the code here... so how can we do it? (I sent you a private message with the link to this thread + the code itself)

    The codes are universal, so they're not region locked. It's just the games that are. As long as your account is set for Hungary and you are physically in Hungary, they should work. One thing to try is to re-enter your information at http://commerce.microsoft.com (that
    will also show if your account is not set for Hungary for some reason).

    Other people have also had success by using the >migration tool< even if they were in the same region.

    The codes are universal

    However if you set your language to us it won't work

    Account region

    Physical region

    Language and console has to match

    When we say account region you must follow the links provided as your region on your console has no bearing on your account region

    if the codes are universal why can't I redeem it? I guess redeem should be successfull then I could not play my region locked game. This is clearly not the case replacement key still not ok ... :) It is something with the code itself.

    Will try to migrate from hungary from hungary ... hope that helps. Thanks!

    if the codes are universal why can't I redeem it? replacement key still not ok ... ;) redeem itself should be possible regardless any region settings then...

    both account and physical region is hungary. language can be set to english only, no hungarian language yet despite there is a hungarian region, officially (not a problem for me just saying).

    I know the difference between xbox360 region / xbox one region / website region / store region etc - ALL set to hungary. Still the code I got does not work.

    (to be honest it is my friend's account as I have the game already... I want to redeem it on his account)

    There Xbox website region has no bearing on the accounts region also

    You have to follow the commerce site

    And no the language cannot be set to English it can only be set tooth nationally supported language

    • This is the nationally supported language for the Hungary: Hungarian and supporters in xbox
    • I think you are mixing two completely different issues
    • First the codes are universal and can be redeemed on any account but what you been told many times is what you aren't getting
    • The accounts region hungary
    • Physical location hungary
    • Language and console region hungary
    • Your friend has to redeeen the codes not you
    • Also two things Xbox 360 regions aren't the same as one regionsregions so maybe hungary isn't an xbox one region ms hasn't listed the new Xbox one regions lately but if you don't have hungary as an option
    • If you don't live in hungary and borrowing his account which you should not be doing
    • You should Msg him the codescodes
    Concerning languages

    You are mixing an xbox one feature for an xbox 360 feature

    Gears does check for language matching

    It's one of the few games that do

    Your friend if hungary isn't an one region will have to redeem it on his 360

    You can't redeem it for him doing so is a violation of the terms of use

    language independence is only an xbox one feature because of the language requirements on 360 games

    If you are playing the disc version of gears of war 3 then no disc versions Ont have the region lock unless on dlc or Games on demand

    Hey Arty,

    I see that you mentioned that you're trying to redeem on a friends account. Have you verified that all of the steps provided on this thread have been followed on the account you're trying to redeem on? Please post back from the account that is experiencing
    this issue so we can be able to assist further. Without the account that is trying to redeem the code, we won't have the necessary information to look into this further.
