hi, i have read as much as i can on region free games but cant get a real answer, i have a new xbox 360 elite and want to buy a new game over the net for my boys. the game is Transformers but under the listing it says region free. will it work on my xbox? i appreciate any one who knowledge in this area and can make an educated gaming world comment, cheers Damo

region free normally means it will play on any 360 in any country. i'm a sony fan so am not real sure on the microsoft side of things but all ps3 games so far are not region coded so i can buy a game from any country and it should theoretically work on my aus spec system.

Imports are mich cheaper usually. Colin mcrae dirt retails here for 110 or 120. It can be imported for about 70 bucks plus say 10 bucks shipping. Plus you would of got it earlier.

If the website says it's region free you should be alright.

LMAO OHH YEAH!! I do the same for PS2 (but its chipped) buy my games from America( www.ebgames.com ), get them WAAAAY cheaper and get them WAAAAY earlier!! Or with some games not at all.

But the catch is I have to buy a few at once to make it even out cos of the high delivery price ($60 AUD).

Hopefully getting confirmation 4 ya soon. I wanna do the opposite of u, buy an NTSC machine (cos of the $$$).

You seen Playasia dude? the shipping might be abit cheaper, i think there in japan or china...

On topic - If the game states its region free, it doesnt matter what region console you use, itll work.

So, Region Free = Perfectly fine

Yeah play-asia easily has the cheapest prices for region free games, they're usually around $65 including shipping for brand new releases! They sometimes have sales on, and every time you buy something from them you get a US $5 off coupon code that you can use on your next purchase over US $50. What they do though is sell each game at US $49.90 so you can't use the coupon for just one game, but the trick is to order some cheap candy with the game to bump it up just over the US $50 mark.

They list the region compatibility for each game, so you know the game will work on your console if there is a green tick next to PAL. You can even browse by region-free games here, so you know that all games listed will work on your console.

dvdcrave is an australian site that sometimes has decent prices for games that aren't region free with the bonus of fast delivery.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
