Buying iM@S on Xbox Live on an english console?

(1/3) > >>

iTiffany21:
I know about the whole deal about Japanese games being region-locked and all. But my friend said she was able to get a Japanese xbox live account on her xbox360 and said she was going to try and buy the iM@S games with her points. I was going to get an xBox360 myself if she could play them. But I was wondering if you could still play the games even though they're on a non-Japanese Xbox360? Or would it be a waste of points to buy it?

And would this count for all the DLC & iM@S & iM@S L4U as well?

Sorry if I put this in the wrong forum. ^^; But I would appreciate some help here. Thanks in advance!

It will be a waste of points (actually, you can't purchase it at all).

If I recall, not only is Games on Demand still region locked, but it's IP locked.  You won't be able to purchase it unless you're connecting from a Japanese IP address, and you won't play it unless you have a Japanese/Asian console.

iTiffany21:
Aw really? I was afraid of that. That really sucks. I'll take your word for it then. Thanks! :)

(Why oh WHY can't iM@S be playable on the PC? *sobs*)

I'll have to save for a Japanese Xbox360 then. Sigh.

SakuraMaxX:
It seems everyone hates the PC gaming industry ( ﾟ^ﾟ)

Saving for a Japanese Xbox 360 will definitely be worthwhile though, seeing as the majority of Xbox 360 games released in the states aren't region locked, so you can play both Japanese and (most) American games perfectly fine.

I didn't even ask my friend if she has an english or Japanese xBox. I should ask the next time she's online.

And I can imagine. There haven't been a lot of PC games I'd want to play other than Sims.

...And minecraft. >_>


So if I got a Japanese XBox360 I could play english games on it? Awesome! :D
Truthfully, the only reason I want to get an xBox at all is really for the iDOLM@STER games. I know a lot of people would say that's a waste of money but I've been wanting to play these games FOREVER. I've gotten the SP game Missing Moon and LOVE IT.  ^^
