Hi,

We have bought the kids an xbox for Xmas and looking to buy some games off Amazon e.g. This. A quick google search says some games are region locked and some aren't. Does anyone know how to tell when buying off amazon?

Thanks

Kingy

Basically you'll be looking for either PAL/NTSC/Region Free (RF). New Zealand is in the PAL category and obviously RF will also work.

Looking at that page I can't see anything that tells you which region it is. Might have to contact amazon and ask.

i suggest www.nzgameshop.com

has been discussed on this forum before, lots of people here recommend, ive used about 10 times, many people I know have used them many times. very cheap and good store. better prices than most NZ stores (except sometimes the odd special here and there)

I also suggest www.play-asia.com. They specify the regions and they're cheap, and reliable.

I agree with the above sites. Buying from the US will probably result in getting an NTSC version which won't work.
