Anyone know if a PAL battlefield 3 works on a NTSC-J 360? I ordered it then my PAL 360 died again so I'll confirm whether it does or does not when it arrives anyway.

Battlefield 3 added, thanks jamesy!

[jamesy]

PAL Battlefield 3 does not work on NTSC-J xbox360.

[PenguinJim]

Halo: CE Anniversary works a treat and is deliciously challenging in Legendary. Luckily lots and lots and lots of plasma grenades drop!

[PenguinJim]

Added Darksiders - how were we missing this gem?

[Johnny]

Given the first 2, Mass Effect 3 PAL should be fine on an Asian system, right? Also, EA stuff is normally region free, isn't it? Wondering about PAL SSX on an Asian console...

[PenguinJim]

If you forced an answer out of me, I'd guess ME3 would probably work. If no-one else has tested it before it's ?15, I'll risk checking it myself at that point.

But don't be 100% sure - we've seen other companies, like Ubisoft for example, have PAL AC1 and AC2 completely region-free, and then PAL AC:B was locked to only PAL and NTSC-J, so it wouldn't be unprecedented for ME3 to be locked for some unknown reason.

Has anyone tried PAL Rage on an NTSC-J console? Don't risk it on my account, the NTSC versions are both locked, but if anyone's had occasion to check, it would be appreciated.

[Johnny]

VG+ tested the US version of ME3 and it works on PAL consoles so looking good so far

[PenguinJim]

I love life, I love games and I think everything is brilliant.

There's some optimism for balance, before I refer you to the fact that AC: Brotherhood NTSC-US was also region-free, unlike the PAL version.

[Johnny]

Haha! Well I've paid for my PAL preorder of ME3 so I guess I'll know for sure at the end of next week...

[PenguinJim]

Fallout: New Vegas PAL is region-locked, but the English-language Asian release is about ?11 at Play-Asia (one of my favourite games - can't go back to Fallout 3 after this).

[PenguinJim]

Has anyone tried Final Fantasy XIII-2? It's ?16.85 at Shopto at the moment, extremely tempting... D:

[Johnny]

Oh yeah, Mass Effect 3 PAL is region free. Confirmed it on my Asian console.

[PenguinJim]

Thank you! Good news for Future Me.

[Johnny]

Darkness 2 PAL won't work in an NTSC-J 360.
