I bought my microsoft points from gamers hideout.. I have no problem downloading arcade games and indie games but when it comes to full xbox 360 games, example: Oblivion, fallout 3, red dead redemption, etc.. I can't download any of them.. so far only these three xbox 360 games that I found can be downloaded using the MS points that I bought.

Dead rising

mortal combat vs DC

Rayman raving rabbits


is it because I'm from malaysia? and the game isn't available here? is there any way to bypass this? maybe.. using MS points from the USA region? there's this guy selling USA MS points and I really wanted to buy from him, if it can download xbox games on demand.

here's the link to his thread:

certain games/DLC are region locked... they'll detect your IP and if your IP is not from US, then they'll stop u from buying it

one way to buy those XBL region locked games/DLC from US is via VPN

using a US VPN, XBL will register you're using a US IP, hence allow u to purchase those games/DLCs

yes..but you can choose to pay with microsoft points by pressing the button X

these are the three games that I've downloaded

1.Mortal combat vs DC

2.rayman raving rabbits

3. dead rising 1


I tried to download other games, but to no avail.. cry.gif it seems that there are certain games that you could buy from xbox live games on demand..

P.S as far as I know, all Arcade games and Indie games should be able to download using microsoft points no matter where you live biggrin.gif

Arcade games that I've downloaded:

1.monkey island 1

2.monkey island 2

3.crazy taxi

4.bomberman



indie games:

alien hunter.

WAIT!!! everyone!!! you have to becareful!!! not ALL, games on demand can be downloaded.. coz we live in malaysia. most of them are region locked cry.gif

but as I have mention before,there are certain games that can be downloaded.

games that I've downloaded on games on demand:

dead rising 1

mortal kombat vs dc

rayman raving rabbits

games that I've tried to download but recieve an error message:


elder scroll IV oblivion

fallout 3

jade empire

sid meir's pirate

and a couple of other games..

so remember! not all games can be downloaded on games on demand.



if you have the time, please compile the list of games that you were able to download from GAMES ON DEMAND.

so that others might know.

will the xbox live region affects the download? besides the IP detection?

nope.. but if the game is region locked then you woudn't be able to download it in the first place.. it would give an error message. hope this helps
