Questions for Jap NTSC 360 Owners

I'm thinking of buying the Jap 360 but I was wondering if:

A) You could change the Dashboard so it was in English

B) If some games supported changing the language to English (Like PDZ)

C) If you play a region free game in the console does it work in English or Japanese

Thanks.

It seems like it'll be hit-and-miss if you go the import route...

The following USA Xbox 360 games have been tested and confirmed to work on a Japanese Xbox 360.
Call Of Duty 2
Condemned
Gun
Quake 4
Ridge Racer 6
Tony Hawk's American Wasteland

The following USA games do not work and are region encoded:
Amped
FIFA Soccer 06
Kameo
Madden 2006
NBA 2K6
NBA Live 06
Need for Speed Most Wanted
NHL 2K6
Perfect Dark Zero
Peter Jackson's King Kong
Project Gotham Racing 3
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2006

wait until the Asian 360 launches. Asian games should work on NTSC-J systems (as it was with Xbox1). It might be a good alternative to pick up Asian versions of a US game which is region-coded if you dont care about the slightly different packaging.

I'm one of those people waiting on how the Asian 360 deal will pan out *crosses fingers*

OMG racist.

OMG racist.

I thought someone would bring this up. Sorry if I offended any Japanese Gaffers.

I did not mean it to downgrade or insult your race.

A. Yes, it's the first thing you can change when you boot the console
B. I'm sure some of them do, but so far I only have FFXI, unfortunately only in japanese.
C. It always tries to use the same language as your dashboard first, so yes it would be in english directly.

despite the massively incorrect "ha ha , Japan has slashed X360 to 18,000 yen reports" i must say that a lot of stores in Aki are offering X360s (NEW) already at a cut down cost of 34,980 (5000 yen off)...

... that's pretty quick.

Awesome. By the time it launches in Asia next year March, hopefully its even cheaper ;-)

Asian 360 software + Jpn 360 unit FTW? (and region free games too!)

A) You could change the Dashboard so it was in English

Yes.

B) If some games supported changing the language to English (Like PDZ)

Yes, and if the game has multiple languages, it will change based on the language your dashboard is in. PDZ and RR6 are both 100% English. Need For Speed Most Wanted stays in Japanese.

C) If you play a region free game in the console does it work in English or Japanese

Thanks.

Not sure, but it should be in English since your dashboard is. However, if you don't live in Asia, I wouldn't bother buying a Japanese system. It's not going to be worth having to constantly check/hope that the game you bought will run on your system, and importing games is obviously going to cost more. Just wait until you can get an American system.

Thank you for the reply, BlimBlim and Lyte Edge.

For a country we all so much love & respect, is it too difficult to type JP instead of degrotary slurs like Jap? Seriously..............

 

[Pudding Tame]

I have PDZ and it plays in English on my JP system.
