    Wrong Region

    Even if you accidentally set your account region to what it is now, you must still wait the required amount of time before you can change it again. There is nothing anyone can do for you.

    Wrong region

    I signed up for Xbox rewards on October 10th and the region is incorrect even though I double checked that the billing address was correct before signing up. Why is it set to the wrong region when everything is set to Canada?

    wrong region

    if you are in North America (and some other regions) PAL will not work on your Xbox. it is the format for European countries (and others). it is a totally different video format.

    Just an FYI most places have a restriction on their return policy for games/videos/music. You may want to call ahead first and explain your situation.

    wrong region

    Make a new gamertag like Onxy said and use it to download things on, you will still be able to access the DLC with your main gamertag, unless there is a region lock on a specific piece of DLC such as the last
    one for Black Ops.

    Wrong Region

    Sorry, but some games are region locked and will not work in other regions, nothing can be done.

    WRONG REGION

    Also to add Romania is not even a supported Live region so you cannot buy Live for that region and you will always run into trouble when it comes to downloading anything from the marketplace sorry.

    Wrong Region?

    Yeah, unfortunately the discs are region locked. I tried using a Japanese copy with my PAL Xbox so I could use Kanji and had same issue. You'll need to import a US Xbox 360 to use your disc.

    Wrong Region

    Hey Filip,

    Thanks for reaching out to us today! I'd be happy to help.

    Xbox 360 games are basically DVD's and are coded in two different formats based on the region you live in.

    NTSC stands for National Television Standards Committee. PAL stands for
    Phase Alternating Line. NTSC is the standard broadcast format in the United States, while PAL is the standard broadcast format in Europe, Australia, and parts of Asia.

    If you got your Xbox 360 from the Czech Republic, then it may be that the used game you purchased is coded in the other format. You will need to get the discs from the same region you got your Xbox 360.

    I would suggest you go back to the point of purchase to see if they can exchange it for you.

    I hope that helps!
