After reading the Yager thread, I assume that some people are importing the game from the UK??

If that's the case, what's the story on imports with the XBOX, I heard that the box is region coded so you can do that, are we talking about modded xboxes or am I wrong about the region coding??

I'd like to know because since the USA gets all the games first (BF isn't out till the end of this month here, over a month!!) It'd be nice to import some games every now and again

So they are region encoded :|

Oh well, I'l continue paying 50% more on games that are released 2 months late :|

Your only legal option is to buy a different Xbox from that country to play those games.

That region map isn't making a whole lot of sense. Japanese and European Xbox's run on different regions I thought... or is it different encoding?
