If I get the Japanese limited edition, will it play the US game?

Thanks!

It should but I think the entire interface of the Xbox will be in Japanese. LOL

Good question! I dont even want to spectate on it myself unless I was pretty sure. But the real question is, has Microsoft discussed how they will go about with the territorial lock out if they will even have one at all?

Now that would reek of awesomeness if they didnt have a territory lock, but we know what the odds of that happening are:eek:

The official Microsoft word is that North American XBOXes will only be able to play games marked NTSC. Japanese games are marked NTSC-J.

i heard a while ago that there was no regional lock out on X Box's but i read that when the system was first mentioned in detail....they might have changed it

Simply put, no. Its just like any other system or dvd player for that matter
