Xbox 360 regions - UK and Australia compatible?

DefterAnt77858 · May 18, 2017

Hi,

My hubby bought an Xbox 360 about five years ago when he was living in the UK. We now live in Australia and I'm wanting to buy my hubby an Xbox 360 game for his birthday (in Australia) however would this work as the console was purchased in the UK? Does
he have to change regions on it? or should they be able to play games from different countries as long as the PAL encoding system applies? (I understand both the UK and Australia use PAL).

TIA!

Do UK Xbox 360 games work on an Australian console?

Hi i've recently bought an Xbox 360 in Australia and just wondering if UK games will work on it? Australia is PAL same as UK but I think the box says Region 4 and not region 2 like UK so wondering if they are compatible. Seems to be some mixed information
on the internet.

Thanks to anyone who can confirm this.

360 backwards compatible titles showing wrong currency in store

I'm in Australia. Xbox One titles in the store are showing in Australian dollars. 360 titles when I click "show price" are in British pounds.

I have my region set to Australia. My language is set to English - UK (so that I can use Cortana, which isn't supported with English - Australia)

Yes both UK and Australia are part of the PAL region.

Obsessive Power

The power voltage in Australia is 230V 50Hz same as the UK. You will not require a different power brick, all you will need is an adapter for the plug.

Xbox One has no region lock outs for disc games. Any games on disc you want to buy in OZ will work fine on a UK console. There will be regional blocks for game downloads though.

Australia uses Region 4 for DVD playback, DVD's from OZ will not play on your UK Xbox One. However, the Blu-ray region for Australia is the same as the UK and Europe, so these films will play.

I don't believe so as 360 games were region locked, the US and UK are in different regions so the games would not be compatible.

Hey PurpleCorn!

Xbox one games are not region locked so all xbox one games will work on any console. The Xbox One's Bluray/DVD player is region locked though. Good news for you, the UK and Australia share the same region codes for Bluray's and DVD's so anything you buy
from the UK or Australia will work on a console purchased in either country so it's up to you where you want to buy it from!

Hope this helps!
