JX360 Region Compatability Guide

Metal Gear Rising European PAL version confirmed to be working on a J360

does anybody know whether Anarchy Reigns PAL and the Zone of the Enders collection PAL are also region free? (or at least compatible with a J360?)

I can confirm that Anarchy Reigns PAL works on a JP360. Not sure about PAL Zone of the Enders HD

Persona 4 Arena is region locked. Beside the Japanese version not playing on NTSC-U systems, the same goes for the USA version on NTSC-J systems. Atlus' Japanese parent company justifies it by saying they don't want Japanese system owners importing the USA version for a lower price (damn you, weak dollar).

Picked up a used copy of USA region Persona 4 Arena complete with instruction manual & original case for a mere $15.00 from the local Blockbuster going out of business. Tis a shame with it's regional lockout of not been able play it on a JPN region 360 console properly though. Awesome fighting game indeed.

But this works, and the game is awesome. ^

Diablo 3 (PAL) does NOT work on a J360.

So strange that a few posts above this, Edge reports an American Diablo 3 working on a Japanese machine, but the PAL one doesn't. Bloody bizarre how they decide this shit.

Anyone tried the PAL (or NTSC-U) version of Destiny on a J-360 yet?
I don't expect it to work, but will be pleasantly surprised if it does.

The NTSC-U retail release of Minecraft works on a NTSC-J system.

The NTSC-U version of Dishonored does not work on a NTSC-J system.

Anyone tried the PAL (or NTSC-U) version of Destiny on a J-360 yet?
I don't expect it to work, but will be pleasantly surprised if it does.

I would actually be surprised if it DIDN'T work. All the games Bungie released on the 360 previously have been region free, and most (if not all) Activision games on 360 have been region free as well. This is from what I know of NTSC-U releases at least.

Will check to see if both 360 NTSC U/C ports of Grid 2 & Grid Autosport work on a JPN region 360.

Am curious to see if the upcoming NTSC U/C port of Persona 4 Arena fighting game sequel will work on a JPN region 360 as well. Shall find out when Sept. 30th, 2014 rolls around.

Am pleased to see that both 360 NTSC U/C copies of Grid 2 and Limited Black Edition Grid Autosport work on a JPN region 360. They're even installable to the HDD/USB thumb drive as well.

So all three 360 NTSC U/C ports of the three Grid racing games released currently, work just fine on a JPN region 360. Interesting to learn that the Codemasters Racing dev team would have them enabled to play on either a USA or JPN region 360 console.

Another NTSC U/C 360 racing game by the name of Forza Horizon 2 (from Sumo Digital dev team) is slated to be out soon...makes me wonder if it, too, will be JPN 360 console compatible from the get-go?
