I just got a game from ebay. im from the united states and this person is from the united kindom. the xbox 360 says this games region code doas not match your consols code please insert a game with the correst code. please help

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.

You can try it and see but I would guess not. I used to have a japanese 360 and I could not use United States or Japanese codes. Had something to do with it being detected as being in the United states so it was running off of US servers but a japanese 360. But with Canada it might because they are both region coded for NTSC. So try it and see.

Sorry you can't fix it. Most games are Region specific meaning that they are playable only on Xbox 360 systems from the specific region that you have. If you bought your Xbox 360 in Australia then it is likely PAL system and can only play Pal games.

"Determine whether the game disc is from the same region as the region where you purchased the Xbox console. To determine the region, view the back of the game package. Look for one of the following codes:

* NTSC: North America and South America (United States, Canada, Mexico, Chile, and Brazil)
* NTSC-J: Asia (Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan)
* PAL: Europe, South Africa, India, Australia, and New Zealand"

If the game you have doesn't match with your Xbox 360 Region then you won't be able to play it. (but a few games are playable on multiple regions, check list below)

Check out this site prior to buying games to help identify which games that aren't PAL might be still playable on your system.: http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-00-3-xbox360_compatibility_guide-49-en-84-t.html

Notice that NBA 2K8 US version is not compatible with PAL system. If you had bought the US version of NBA 2K9 then it would have worked.

This is unfortunately 'normal': an unmodified xbox can only play games made for the country (or 'region code') it was made for.

In order to play games from any region/country, especially from EBay or copied, you will need to get your XBOX 360 MODified: this service (e.g. Hardware Electronic modification) is offered by many technicians that can often be found at week-end computer fairs or Computer repairs shops. Make sure you get a quote before proceeding as the cost can vary enormously!

Hope it helps!

Region Code: 0xFFFFFFFF Region Free have a friend who had the same problem this is what he did to fix it.some nice fellows over at X-Box Headquarters forums have figured out a way to change the values on the DVD region code on hypervisor exploitable X-Box 360s. Since the region code is directly tied in with the CPU key, for now this will only work on X-Box units with kernel 4532 and 4548. You'll also have to read/flash the flash chip in order for it to work. this might not be the best thing to do if you don't want to void the warranty though. i hope this helps you and have a nice day

You can not change the region code for an Xbox 360 game, you can however change the region acceptance of your xbox 360. But this will most likely make it so you can't play your other games.

laser is dirty

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.

for now, there is 3 disc region codes,

ntsc for north america and south america, (united states,canada,mexico,chile and Brazi)

ntsc-j for Asia, (hongkong Japan, Korea, Singapore and Taiwan)

pal for Europe, South africa, India Australia, and new zeland


if your console was bought in us, you should be able to use game discs with ntsc region code, this is shown on the cd itself and the case of the cd...
