Hello everyone,

Just wondering, do you guys think this will be region free like Halo 3? So far every Halo game (including Halo Wars) has been region free except for Halo: Combat Evolved.

Any thoughts?

if all the others where (i didnt know this) then i would assume ODST will be too.

Edit: and i guess reach will also.

It means that it'll be able to play on any console, NTSC or PAL.

Hmm, good question. I doubt it will be "Region Free" as you stated, it will probably be specified through PAL and NTSC, as are most games now and systems, no?

That's what I was thinking, but I bought my Halo 3 copy from London and it works perfectly with my Japanese Xbox 360 console.. Other games such as Fallout 3 are more restrictive region wise. Who knows why Halo is different that way?

If Halo 3 is region free, I would assume Halo 3: ODST will be as well...

It should be reigon free i have a UK halo 3 editon xbox but I buy some of my my games from the US such as halo 3 and it plays them fine so ODST shouldn't be any different.

EDIT - I have also pre orderd the US version of ODST so it should work - No promises (contact MS for clarfication)

Most games are region sensitive but Halo 3 (or at least my copy) worked on another regional Xbox. ODST might or might not work with a different regional Xbox. We'll have to wait and see.
