Title: I am getting a Japanese Xbox 360 and have a question or two.... Post by: sonoranreptile on February 19, 2008, 08:26:38 AM The first thing that comes to mind is are their any non-Japanese games that are playable on this system and might their be a list somewhere? Also, any idea on backward compatibility on these? Can they play regular Japanese Xbox games or even U.S. games? I am getting a real good deal on this system plus about 12 games and just wanted to see if there was any other info out about its compatibility. Thanks in advance!

Play-Asia has a pretty good list of what game can play on what system: http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-00-3-xbox360_compatibility_guide-49-en.html I believe that the only "old" Xbox games that you can play are Japanese, but I'm not sure where to find a list of which ones you can use.

But yeah, what JWKobayshi said is right. Some 360 games are region free. It's all up to the developers. Title: Re: I am getting a Japanese Xbox 360 and have a question or two.... Post by: sonoranreptile on February 19, 2008, 03:31:00 PM I do have a PS3 and a U.S. 360. this was just a deal that came along that was hard to refuse and I thought it would be another cool system to add to the collection. I guess only time will tell but for now thank you guys for the helpful suggestions.

Post by: sonoranreptile on February 19, 2008, 10:09:37 PM I really got this system mostly because it was a good deal and partly because it is just something odd to have and if nothing else makes a cool DVD player for the bedroom...next to my gamecube. I knew going into the deal that I was probable SOL if anything happened but I honestly got the system in trade for a lot of doubles of games and a couple of systems that I already have. Here is a list of the games/peripherals that I got in the deal:
Japanese Xbox 360 20 gb HD 1 Wireless Microsoft controller 12 Games all ntsc/j: Spectral Force 3: Innocent Rage Blue Dragon (3 discs?) Trusty Bell (aka Eternal Sonata) Vampire Rain Senko no Ronde X Need for Speed Carbon Bullet Witch Sengoku Musou 2 (Samurai Warrioris 2) LoveFootball (Soccer Game) Enchanted Arms The Idol Master Project Sylpheed The versions of Tomb Raider Anniversary and Gears of War that I have work on this system perfectly so far. I just need to learn to read Japanese now.... Thanks to everyone for input, suggestions and comments!! Title: Re: I am getting a Japanese Xbox 360 and have a question or two....

If Senko no Ronde is the same as Wartech: Senko no Ronde that is a strange game. Title: Re: I am getting a Japanese Xbox 360 and have a question or two.... Post by: Tondog on March 27, 2008, 12:47:04 AM But Wartech is great.
