Unable to download GWG via website - not available in your region

Thank you for the reply Misses,

Unfortunately I don't know anyone (at least well enough to give the my details) with a 360. Most have traded them in towards a next gen console.

I did purchase toy soldiers and viva piñata trouble in paradse, Recently from the store website. Does that not count?

You can but for non xbox 360 players you need to have a 360 on to show you have a console for compatibility

Its checking for ntsc or pal console

You cam initate a buy from a friends console or a rental

Please note the xbox one and 360 marketplace isnt the same are you switching to the uk from the 360 website?

It defaults to the us

Misses Quinzel,

I have a similar problem downloading this game except I am trying from X360 console (and also tried from marketplace/xbox store). Here is my situation -

Account Region: India (a/c migrated from US to India 3 months ago upon my relocation)

Physical Region: India

Console: NTSC (purchased from US)

Payment Info: Relects Indian CC info on the Xbox a/c and on the console

Billing Address: Reflects the correct indian address on the Xbox a/c and on the console

Locale on Console: Shows India

Problem: Unable to download Gears of War 3 Live Gold x360 Free download either from Console or Xbox Store/Marketplace

Message from console: "This game region does not match this console. It will not be downloaded"

Message from marketplace: "This content is not available for consoles in your region"

Contacted Xbox Support (over the chat), tried all options - Clearing system cache, re-downloading profile etc.. But none of the options which they suggested could solve the problem. The Xbox Cust Rep hit a dead end, created a ticket and said he will escalate
the issue and also take it up the issue with the game developer and also with approriate group within Xbox team.

I had no problems downloading other region-locked games earlier since my a/c has been migrated from US to India 3 months ago. This is the first time I encountered the problem. I am not sure if it is account/region settings issue or game specific problem.

One of the users (ngocphi) has earlier suggested that GoW3 requires Account Region-Physical Region-Console Region to match for it to download. However the Xbox Support Rep contradicted this saying that Console Region matters only for Disc games and for digital
content (i.e Live Gold games) it only checks for Account Region and Physical region match (without any consideration of Console Region - NTSC/PAL etc..).

Can you please clarify on this issue i.e For some games such as GoW3 (this month's Live Gold free game for X360), does Console Region need to match with my Account/Physical Region? Is that the reason why I am having the problem downloading this game Or is
there some other issue?

Thanks

Fyi you cant get the game even if you have a reset of your dns

For this game specifically

You need to have an xbox 360 to download it to
