And so there was a man who ate cake.

And he was happy it was that way.

The disk runs on all consoles no matter where you live.

Every Xbox 360 game runs on any Xbox 360 console.

The AR is an awesome weapon, RESPECT IT AS SUCH!!!

sorry mate, i dont believe that you can play American games on European consoles and vice-versa.someone please correct me if im wrong.

It might not work due to the regional code.

  • 07.30.2009 1:51 PM PDT

why do you want it from america?

the U.K. gets the game cheaper ($40 rather than $60)

I sent my friend who lives in Edinbourgh a copy of Modern Warfare as a birthday present and it worked fine on his 360.

I don't think it matters what country because they're made by the same manufacturer.

The fight has been complete.... now get the cookies!

While we certainly share your enthusiasm for the return, we here at the Bungie.net community are mostly made up of snarky asses and jerks who will ridicule you for making a thread about something revealed months ago. We regret that your innocent intentions will almost certainly be replied with anger and sarcasm, and politely invite you to don your Flame-suit, because you just did the internet equivalent of jumping up the Construct lifts.

What kind of question is this?

  • 07.30.2009 2:07 PM PDT

Why would you preorder it from America? It's coming out on the same day!

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

The only restricted ones are from Japan.

Nope, a North American game will not work on a European 360, and vice-versa.

Yeah, region coding sucks.

There's no PAL in North America. We have NTSC here.

@dangerbyrnes:
The UK does not get the game cheaper. GBP 39.99 = $65.94.

Halo 3 is region free so it should work on european xboxes, hopefully odst will be region free two seeming as i have an american xbox and live in the uk

  • 07.31.2009 5:18 AM PDT

I see dead people

It absolutely will NOT work.

US is NTSC, UK is PAL, they are not compatible.

Probably. Why the hell did you pre-order from America? It's coming out at the exact same time everywhere, and if you buy from Amazon it's only £30 which is cheaper than in America.

(="_"=) ------hay baby how you doing

  • 07.31.2009 6:53 AM PDT

am not sure anymore lol

because OXM said that u could import
Ghostbusters from the USA lol

  • 07.31.2009 7:08 AM PDT

What's hot, sexy and purple?

Ayane (and the Wraith :-D)

US = NTSC
Europe = PAL
JAP = NTSC-J

Its simple: a NTSC games only works with a NTSC console.

Same with PAL consoles and PAL games.


That's why you cant play an NTSC game on a PAL console. The game is region locked.
BUT there are some games which are codefree. Gears of War 1, for example.
No one knows if ODST wil bee codefree. I guess not, so order your game in europe.

Im pretty sure it will work, i think as its the released on the same day by the same publisher it will be region free, i think its when its released by different publishers in different regions, probably about who gets the cash. But still just cancel the pre order and get it from the uk, you actually get it on the day as well! (probably cos it will be posted on time to arrive on dya of release in the states, its still got to come over the atlantic), plus its cheaper AND you know itll work lol
