My wife is stationed over here in the UK, and I am hoping that I can play the new console over here. I have internet and always connected. Just wondering with the Region Lock would that mean since I have the US console and UK connection will it work? My 360 runs just fine online through my UK connection.
I know I can not download games from the Marketplace here though. Even with the codes like I got with GoW Judgement for GoW1.
Please let me know. Thanks guys!!!!!
Yeah. The Consoles are region locked for games but for system I don't think there is a region lock on using the online.
So basically as long as I buy the disc for my US Console I should be able to play... Nice!Quote:

you would also have to have a regulator, or it will go up in smoke when you plug it into that 220-240v wall socket.. unless on base, where they usually apply the US standards. You will see alot more lag when playing with people in the states as well, but that is a given on anything online multiplayer.
Obviously I can get US games here onbase and plug my console in. No need to import when living on a US base :D
just curious.. you do know how bad xb1 is right now right? ps4 is taking this one all the way home..Quote:

From what I was told by our store, they are selling them. They bases they are not permitted on is countries where families are not permitted to accompany the active duty memberQuote:

no. the games are apparently region-locked based on where your account is set up. and you can only play if you're stationed in one of 21 countries. so if you have a US disc, and tied your account to the US region.. you can't play until you get back home and connect to a US based server.
which also means any games you buy while over-seas become coasters when you return home.
and, the fun part, your microphone is 'always on'... even when the machine is powered off. thus all the claims that the xbone is already banned from being allowed on any military installation. i've seen only the proof of the mic being on, i have not seen any links referencing this rumored ban, but i wouldn't doubt it's existence.
so... why, in the name of god, would you buy one if you're going to be on a base?
it comes from FRAGOS.. orders in the military that aren't exactly posted on public websites. They did a similar thing with the Furby toys.Quote:

ah, wasn't sure, as all i'd kept hearing was 'they banned it for security", and never saw anyone post up a link or press release or anything along those lines.
as i said, i'm pretty sure that even if it wasn't on the ****list yet, it would be by the time it was launched, anyway.
