Region Free Xbox/Xbox 360 Games (list in thread)

Yet another Bordersdown exclusive, as Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 3 PAL is confirmed as working on an NTSC-J 360!

Edit: anyone who's wanting a copy of Final Fantasy XIII-2 (the PAL version is completely locked), I've ordered one for about $30 from Play-Asia, which is as cheap as a US copy is likely to get for the foreseeable future. :P Works on NTSC-US and NTSC-J! (Make sure to go back and review all of your old orders, as you might get $0.50 account credit for a decent review!)

Did we ever hear about PAL Silent Hill Downpour working on an NTSC-J console?

[PenguinJim]

I couldn't find anything.

(I think I've posted this before, but in addition to checking Play-Asia now that they have European titles regularly, I also check:

(although due to their occasional mistakes, I only update our list with our own members' confirmed findings!))

PAL Kane & Lynch 2 works on an Asian console.

I know it's only out this week, but if anyone could confirm/deny whether PAL Sleeping Dogs works on an NTSC-J console I'd really appreciate it

Can anyone verify if Armored Core For Answer (UK) works on a US console? The idiots in the US want $30+ for a "Like New" copy of the NTSC version.

Yes I heard it does

Is there a list anywhere for PAL games on an NTSC-U system? It's all JPN on PAL, or PAL on JPN, but almost nothing on USA.

Anyway, the games in question. Will the PAL versions of these work on NTSC-U?

Bomberman Act Zero
DOA Xtreme 2
MagnaCarta II
Onechanbara

Also, is there a list of US exclusive 360 games anywhere? Or JPN and US exclusive - as in never released in PAL land?

I apologise for being so late with my reply, but I had AC4A PAL and it was completely region-locked to PAL. Won't work on NTSC-J or NTSC-US. If you can avoid rushing in, I managed to get a copy for US$24 delivered (internationally) after a few weeks of patient eBaying (which still made it my most expensive game in 2011! I'm super-cheap ).

When I've added PAL games to this thread, I've always reported their workings on both NTSC-US and NTSC-J. Initially I expected to only be submitting maybe five or six games - not list-worthy - but I think I'm quite a bit higher than that now. At some point I might trawl back through the thread and put together a mini-list to add to the OP. Play-Asia now has a few PAL compatibility details, and you can also use the 99%-accurate sites like:

I know FIFA 13's not out yet, but it will good to know asap.

Thanks
