Re: XBox 360 - Official Thread
There are about 6 titles that are region free on the XB360, the console itself is region free, its' the game developers who decide to make a game region free or not. It's all in the code on the disc, most seem to put it in. The PS3 has been rumoured to be region free, which may be true, but the games Developers could still put a code on the disc to restrict it to the region it's launched in.
Think about it, many retailers probably ask for region specific games, otherwise the games retail industry would hit meltdown, I mean games in different regions often sell for different prices, now this may often be down to exchange rates and taxes, but more often than not it'll be down to retailers, often offering discounts in say different regions. WE would probably retail cheaper in the states as it may not sell as many copies, thus stores discount it to sell, whereas over here they know they have a market for PES and thus keep the price nearer the top end of the market.
