I have been living in the US for the past few years and I brought my elite back with me when I came back to the UK.
I am waiting on my copy of CoD4 collectors edition to be shipped from the US, but I dont want to wait for it. The release date for CoD4 here is tomorrow, so I want to go pick up a copy and get some games in ASAP.
I am a little stuck on the whole 'region free' thing though. I called my local store today and was told that while the USA and Asian versions of CoD are region free, the PAL version is not?!?!?! I dont understand why they would give me this information as it would just lose them a sale, unless it was true/correct.
I dont understand why one particular region would not be region free, and I though most Activision titles were region free. When trying to purchase an advertised 'region free' copy of cod4 on ebay tonight, the seller kindly informed me that I could save on the shipping an purchase a PAL copy at my local store because his copys were all PAL and were also region free.
Im stuck. I am being given contradicting information by two different sources, if worse comes to worse I can always just buy it, try it, and return it if it doesnt work.
I was just wondering if anyone can clear this up with some DEFINATE info, that they KNOW is factual. LoL.
ok cool i found this list which says that CoD2 and CoD3 are region free and work on NTSC console.... I HOPE this is the same for cod4 cant see why it wouldnt be. He has listed tons of games if anyone needs some info also
yeah I know the usa version is region free and works on UK boxes, but I need to know if UK version will work on USA box. long story, I know its not often it goes this way round. lol
hey thanks atheistium! i jus bought a cod4:game of the year edition for my kid brother who is in dubai, and its PAL region too. Glad its gonna work, was worried for a while
