My xbox 360 shows a message"incorrect regional code"

There are two types of Xbox, NTSC and PAL. Games sold at U.S. play in NTSC consoles, games from europe and some other countries play in PAL, the only thing you can do is buy that game for NTSC consoles (buy the game inside u.s.). Try to sell the one you have on ebay to people at other countries.

Your Xbox region code has to match the region code on the video games. Figure out your xbox's country of origin and then only buy games that come from that region. If you are trying to play pirated discs and getting that error message, than they obviously were not pirated correctly.

they set region codes so that the right publisher gets the money in a region.

The only real solution is to have some "chip" your xbox and mess with the firmware. What region do you live in(us,europe,asia etc.)???

I'm sorry to tell you but there is no possible way to alter or change the region coding for your Xbox 360 system.

This sadly means the game and Xbox 360 console aren't the same region. (Rather the game is region locked, meaning unless you have a Xbox 360 that plays those regions, the game is non-playable because the console can't read the disc.) There really isn't any solutions for this, other than take the game back to the store and ask for your money back because the region of the game doesn't play on your Xbox 360. Always make sure when buying Xbox 360 games that it's the right region code. (Or that it's a region free coded game) There are a few games like that out, one being Borderlands for example.

If it says PAL on the cover of the game for example, the game covers most of Asia, Africa, South America, Australia, New Zealand, and most of Western Europe. (List of common PAL regions can be found here.)
There are a few other region codes for games, so you better make sure you are buying the ones for your region.
Hope this was of some help.

if the movies are pireted then you have to go to freeze.com and the vlc code downloaded on there and they'll play like a charm.
glad to help.

Well if u got a euro xbox 360 most american games WILL NOT work... =[ Ive tryed it myself

Ask someone else from your region and e-mail it to you.

go to the settings menu and if you dont see region right away go to system settings. It will either say region or locale, depending on if you have the new xbox experience or not. if you never had xbox live on it and you bought it new you have the old version.

if you take it to the shop they could dechip it this will solve the problm
