    One of the major regular news websites here (Netherlands) is reporting that the games themselves might not just be region locked, but country locked. While this might not seem like a huge deal to US people its potentially very bad for us Europian consumers who know where to buy games. Some of the cheapest game websites are based in the UK (play and zavvi). With no shipping charge and good deals an Europian gamer who knows to shop around will do so. But it seems even that might be discontinued by microsoft?

    This news site does have a tendency to just copy/paste news. So curious if anybody has anything concrete on this?

    @shivoa: I hope its just a rumor. Al through at this point the One seems to have so much going against it its just one more thing on the pile I guess if its true or not.

    I didn't see this discussion in that topic. That topic is about where the xbox will work. I mean the news that it might not work if I buy a game from another country and can only buy games from stores in my own country. Going to check that topic however if I missed something. Thanks!
