I'm pretty sure those are for other asian countries, as in, if you live in China or something you can't play this on your xbox you need the asian version just to avoid confusion. It's really strange that Japan has a different region encoding than other asian countries.

I thought the NTSC-J Xbox covers it all. Just like how you can by an "Asian" copy of a game and it'll still work on the NTSC-J Xbox...
I'm pretty sure the regions are just split up into Asia, Europe, and North America. Or something like that (seems a lot of stuff is left out that way, but I'm positive that there's only 3 different regions for an Xbox 360)

It's true that there are only 3 regions but certain games don't work for systems from "the same region",
For example the game "Shin Sangoku Musou 4 Special" JP version is a game classified as NTSC-J and should fall in the Asia category and should work on any asian 360 including chinese ones who're also NTSC-J's.
This however isn't true as the game refuses to run on a system other than a JP one.
I guess it's because the chinese doesn't want their awesome 3 kindom characters having those dumb japanese names. <-- unbased claim
Clear Blue:
Erm...3 "kindom"?

I think that the XBox 360's region protection (term used loosely) is entirely an option on the part of the publisher. If the publisher wants to include region lockout, he's free to do it. If he doesn't care, then he can leave the disc without lockout.
This is second-hand information, though. My friend was saying he could play American games on his Japanese 360 since apparently Americans don't care. The Japanese games he tried on another of my friend's American XBox didn't work. I guess they're still more traditional?
