I have to give a small update and a huge warning.
1) Canada got a different print of Ridge Racer 6. I can now confirm that the canadian Ridge Racer 6 disc is region locked. My friend with a japanese xbox has no issues playing RR6 USA release on his system.
2) While Quake 4 Is Region free, The bonus disc is not. My 360 is rejecting the bonus disc as not being compatible.
3) The newly released OXM 360 demo disc is also region locked.
more to come when i go to block buster & rent up some EA games.
I feels like you forget to tell us the huge warning! LOL!
Heh sorry,
The warning was to avoid the canadian print of Ridge Racer 6. :P
So if a person with a JPN 360 tries to get a NA copy, just make sure its comming from usa retailer or import shop and not canadian.
Does anyone know if rumble rose is region free or not?? I got a JP x360... Help me.. I want this game..
I too would LOVE to know if Rumble Roses XX is region free.... I have a UK PAL 360 and want to import an American copy. THANKS! Kai....
