Anyone bought XBOX360 games from ebay overseas

Pattamus · 15th June 2007, 4:30 PM

Hey peeps

Ive noticed recently, there is a lot of games being sold on ebay as region free. I am also aware that the 360 drive firmware can be modded.

Firstly has anyone ever bought any 360 games off ebay that are advertised as being region free? If you have, have you had any problems in playing these games on an unmodified 360 (meaning no firmware flash). These games seem to be $20 - $30 cheaper in some cases. They appear to have original packaging and these sellers have quite high feedback ratings.

Thoughts, comments???

Region free games can be played on any 360 no worries.

www.play-asia.com have a lot of region free games, just check in the items description to make sure it is. New latest release games eg GRAW2 are 55+ $4 shipping or so.

bought Gears of war off ebay for 60 when it came out, and it was labeled NTSC jap, was very suspicious about it cause my console was a PAL.

But it worked no problems and turned out to be the best COOP game ive played ever.
