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

[Number45]

VGP have tested WE7 for the 360 and it's not region free, apparently.

Thought i'd list this as it still hasn't come out in Pal land.

USA King of Fighers NeoWave - works ok on my Pal Xbox and on Live

I'd like to know if the PAL version is region free for a NTSC-J console....

Not exactly what you're after but the PAL version of Crackdown works fine on my US system.

VG+ have also confirmed that the US version is region free.

I'd say it's a very safe bet it will work fine

Ok i've just tested aload of various Playmore Ntsc Xbox games on a standard uk xbox.

Games tested that worked.
Samurai Shodown V USA
King of Fighters NeoWave USA
King of Fighters NeoWave JAP

Games tested that didn't work.
KOF 2002 JAP
KOF 2003 JAP
KOF Maximum Impact Maniax JAP
KOF Maximum Impact Maniax USA

Oddly though the USA combo release of KoF '02 and '03 only has region on one disk. KOF 2002 USA is region free, and KOF 2003 USA is not.

Were these 2 games only released in the USA as a 2 in 1, similar to the USA PS2 release of the KOF '00/01 2 in 1?

Does anyone know if Crackdown Asian Vers is region free? Play Asia just says '?'

I will hopefully be able to test at the weekend when my Asian version arrives & I can get it round my brothers to test on his PAL machine.

Will let you know as soon as...although Play-Asia are now listing it as out of stock/out of print so not even sure if you can buy it anymore??

Will keep ya posted.

Yeah I noticed it had been pulled too. They probably wont get anymore stock.
Nevermind. I'll just wait til the PAL version drops down to ?20ish (by Xmas!!)

Yes!!!!

Yes!!!!

Ok, well, Fable is in that list, and it's in the Xbox 360 compat list - but does anyone know if Lost Chapters Fable is multi-region? Because if so, I'd be getting that instead.

Asian copy of Crackdown arrived today and it works on my PAL machine. Includes the Halo 3 beta too.

I've been searching the usual places for this info but haven't found anything definitive.

Anyone know if Dance Dance Revolution Universe (just released in USA) is likely to be runnable on a PAL or an NTSC-J 360?

Cheers!

According to Play-Asia US version DDR does not work with PAL or JPN 360s.
