yes, maybe u r right. japan, us, europe all have their own catalogue of Games on demand and different menu on your xbl dashboard. japan may not have sky players like uk, inside xbox news also different.

so imo, u need to have the right gamertag, setting the right locale and pretend as if u were in that country, then u can download or buy it. i dont think if i can't buy it using my pal console with msian ip, others can download it using ntsc console. or if you do, you might have not in the uk xbl dashboard.
maybe i can try using one of ntsc console with my uk gamertag and try to buy one game? or maybe u can use pal console with your us/asian gamertag to buy a game? well, we still not far from the conclusion though, i believe.

LOL

guys, it's already proven they detect by IP to check your region lah

no matter what region console you're using, what gamertag you're registered with, as long as they detected the IP you're using are not from their region, straight away they'll block you.

Also it's also commonly known that diff region has diff content & pricing

Thanks!

anyone tried DL Dead Space from US server before?
issit locked?

since i can't find a cheap 2nd hand copy here, might as well buy it online, since it's only USD19.90

since the demo can be downloaded, you can just try to purchase and see.. worst case it tells you cannot

unlike Dead rising case west, it won't let u DL demo even

wait my bad...

i previously purchase them using US account for 1600 ms points and i know its not available for sg.

anyway, i just check its available for sg at 2000 ms points. and its locked to the IP

okie, let me load up some points n try
US is so much cheaper than SG
US=USD19.90
SG=SGD39.90

generally US god is region lock. only by vpn u can dl, i m not certain about now, since ppl comment that certain games(COD BO) refuse non supported IP operators. For me, i m using a paid VPN, no problems for me now.

arcade games are region free. the prices are the same too.

Added on January 18, 2011, 10:23 pmhmm from the website it listed S39.9 which is RM96. if u use ms points its 2000 about RM85. so buying MS points is cheaper.

by the way, u can buy PC games too. take note of the exchange factor. its odd, it maybe even cheaper than steam

btw, do you guys know that US xbox.com you can add paypal account now?
but only can be used for purchase of MS points online via xbox.com

but that's good enuf for me, as 1600points is only USD19.90, RM60+
and many resellers are selling it around RM65 - RM70

whats the point? i can get the MS points cheaper from other sources. worst, paypal charge extra. u still need vpn to download GOD.

can share the source with us?

most of them i got it from ebay. sometimes i ask my friend to get them from stores in US. occasionally there will be games sales, like $45 for 4000 ms points reload card.

oh crap~~ Dead Space confirmed region locked
now got 800points left, alang-alang...

any recommendation what to buy with 800points?
something with high replay value & Multiplayer?

i guess u dl the US version?

ilomilo

Anyone has any experienced buying any latest/current Games On Demand titles (not Arcade/Indie title) from Xbox Marketplace..?

There's one game that I would like to buy with MS Points, which is Smackdown VS RAW 2009...
It costs 1890 MS Point if I buy with SG account..
but when using US account, the game costs 2200 MS Points...Seems like SG account has cheaper currency I assume..

At first, I thought the game is free region since it doesn't mention which region is able to purchase the content, so I decided to top up my MS Points for SG account and want to purchase it..

Then, I got an error and said this game is not available in my country/region or something like that...Is it because of my SG account..? Then, how come it appears in Games on Demand list, complete with the price? Or is it because the LIVE server detects my IP in Malaysia and decided to block the transaction..? Is there any other way for me to buy the game..?

region locked....

unless you use Singapore vpn?
