Yeah, its the same deal for Blazing Angels too. And GRAW too. Seems like 360 Ubisoft games in general are not region coded.

Does anyone know if this would effect the XBox Live play any? I'm guessing not but I'd rather not be rudely awakened after the fact.

Why as a company would you CHOOSE to do this?! I don't get it.

Good question I'd like to know the awnser also.

Never ordered from Play-Asia.com, but I'm curious. $43 for a 360 game is a great deal especially on a new game. Anyway, are the Asian versions of games still sealed with the Microsoft Security Seal and the same tight shrinkwrap? Just curious.

Thanks.

I'm sure, but I wouldn't count on buying a whole bunch and returning them at other stores. I would imagine the bar code is different.

BTW, Tomb Raider Legends is another title to add to the list of $40 Asian version games that apparently work in a US 360.

I wonder if you'd be able to log onto US Live servers with these titles?

Someone has to be the guinea pig and find out.

I ordered FarCry last weekend, mostly out of curiosity. As soon as I get it, I can report whether or not it works with Live and any other differences I can discern without actually having the actual US version on-hand to compare.

Thanks for being willing to do that. Your report will have a great deal of impact on my decision to pull the trigger.

I ordered Blazing Angels a while ago and it is been confirmed to be on its was to my house last week. I mentioned this in the 360 thread numerous times but most people shrugged it off. So I decided to give it a shot and order a copy.

As mentioned they also have GRAW, Far Cry, Blazing Angels and just added this week Tomb Raider Legend all on $39.90 with a $3.10 shipping charge.

If I am successful at getting the game working both on and offline I will be buying Tomb Raider next.

I contacted Play-Asia directly about Blazing Angels and they guaranteed the game would work but not sure if it would work online in the US.

I will be posting a full report on Cover Artwork and Instructions Languages, if the game is indeed in full english including game menus and if it works on and offline.

I guess I would be the official guinea pig.

I'm going to try and search out the post I read, but I believe you can sign into Live and play with no problem on these games. If I remember correctly the game's region encoding (or lack of it) doesn't affect what servers you sign into (EDIT: just found another comment on those lines from a CAG'er in this thread: http://cheapassgamer.com/forums/show...light=playasia)

Also, I can't see why it would be an issue -- it's not as if you've hacked your Xbox or done any modifications at all to play these games. They play straight out of the box, which isn't the fault of the consumer.

Play-Asia is legit, people. They're one of the best importers, bar none.

I think it's funny that GRAW, Far Cry and Tomb Raider are all $40, but Kameo is $65

Wanna see how Live play works before biting

Agreed

Marking this topic to await the results...

Did you guys notice that No Software is eligible for returns if defective. Go to their help screen.

"Please note that software purchases are excluded from warranty and exchange"

That doesn't seem very fair.

Still, $40.

I think this week Best Buy will have Tomb Raider for 360 at $49.99 so if you use one of those coupons ($5 off) in the best buy coupon book you could get it for $45. Not a bad deal either.

BIG UPDATE

Just got my Far-Cry in the mail and they just sent me just the normal NTSC version, no extra instructions in asian just the normal version I could go and buy down my street for $60.00 but I got it for $43.00.

REPOST in a way! lol, haha
