Question about Asian games.

Post by Casper<3 »

So if any one has ever bought asian english releases, what region do you usually need to buy the DLC from?

I ordered the English Text/Japanese voices 360 version of FFXIII-2 and am curious which DLC I need to buy for it to work with the game.

BTW I just found out that the US release works with NTSC-J consoles.

...had I known that I might not have ordered the Asian version expecting to be locked out of US release.

Oh well, at least it has the best cover art and is an undubb

Can't say for the 360, but for the PS3 the DLC must be from the same region of the game or it won't work. I downloaded the free DLC for Lost Planet 2 from the US store and it didn't work for my european copy.

Actually not entirely true. On PS3 it works on a game by game basis. I've bought DLC that isn't region locked before. I remember one game having region lockout on online races. You could only race against people from the part of the world the disc came from lol.
