    Xbox One imported from other region


    I live in Norway and Xbox One launched here pretty late and therefore i decided to import a Xbox One from USA. The power supply gave me some trouble, but eventually fixed it. The main problem and the reason me writing this is the Blu-Ray. Since the Xbox
    is from USA and i live in Europe our discs won't work. Is there anything else i can do to fix this or do i have to gen an external blu-ray reader?

    :)

    Region code problem

    Each xbox is region locked like the DVD's - you will not be able to play imported games from other regions (unless you own an xbox from that region).

    Will you import games now?

    Will you be importing Japanese games now that the Xbox One is region free. You know how Japan gets a lot of region exclusive games on the 360 like those arcade plane shooters. Have you thought about importing Japanese games IF the Xbox One is ever available there?

    Xbox One imported from other region

    Each Xbox One console is manufactured for a specific Blu-ray and DVD region, following international standards. The Xbox One console can play Blu-ray discs and DVDs that are sold in the same region as the console.

    Some Blu-ray discs and DVDs are not region-encoded or are coded to all regions. Region-free Blu-ray discs and DVDs will play on any Xbox One console.

    UK Newspaper takes a hit at Xbox One restrictions and compares it to PS4.

    @ Malacath, I know that the 360 was region-locked as well, but it was region-locked in a different sense, so lets you couldnt redeem european MS points on a US account, or that you couldnt play games locked to other regions, you had to play games locked
    to your region etc, but with the xbox 360 you could import a day one console from a use it on day one even if it wasnt released in your country yet, with the xbox one you cant do that, thats a major difference, there are only 21 release countries, while the
    others will have to wait for months maybe vene longer before its released in their country, with no import possibility, why cant a polish developer of lets say the witcher 3 (a game that ms showcased at e3) import a day one console from e.g. its neighboring
    country Germany (both EU member states, thus part of one regional economic unit with a single common market free movement of goods, services and people) and play witcher 3 in the country that developped the game before it is release there, because xbox one
    blocks import.... and withing one single EU market.... thats ridiculous... the bad thing for microsoft beingt that the ps4 version of thw witcher can be played in poland before its release there if someone imports it from another country wherever, so please
    dont come preaching with your region-locking is a common practice type of argumentation, this completely different than in the case of the 360, how is a globalist agent and defender of a free market like MS want do defend import-regulations?

    Importing xbox one

    only xbox one disc games are region free but as confirmed with other content the online content is region locked still as international laws still apply

    basically you can import a console and games

    but your account region may not be supported for online game purchases

    Xbox One not region free

    the main problem with the region-lock is not really caused by locking movies, games etc., (this is a pretty common practice already at work with the 360), the newer dimension of this problem with xbox one is that the region-lock is extended to the impossibility
    to import and use an xbox one in other than the 21 intitial release countries
