BiggD Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Time to stack it… LOL, jk. I'm not doing it again. The MP boosting was really boring and there's too many games coming out this holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDDS Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Omg noooooooooooooo! Oh well there goes another chunk of my life. Does anyone know if we can purchase games from the Chinese store or will this be a play Asia job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bblcreator8790 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I have heard that games in China are digital only, and require a Chinese Xbox One to play. And you need a valid Chinese mobile phone number for the verification process. So don't count on being able to stack this game without jumping through a lot of hoops, if it's even possible.

I was thinking to buy it off the china marketplace (like other games in other regions). I just need to buy a redeem code, enter a valid phone number and address. if so that's quick and easy.

I think you have to have a Chinese Xbox One as the Chinese versions of games will be digitally region-locked (i.e., you can only play Chinese games on a Chinese Xbox One, and no DLC is available for any games either, hence why the ODST and Spartan Ops updates are missing from the Chinese achievement list). And for the phone number, you actually need to possess a real Chinese mobile phone with a Chinese mobile provider because they send the verification code to the phone for you to use to activate the console. Though I could be wrong about these restrictions as I'm basically just reposting information I saw on another site - so if you're really interested in trying to get that completion you might want to look into it more than I did. I do know for sure that the restrictions on Chinese Xbox One consoles and games are much stricter than other regions but I could be wrong about the details...

Why make one game region locked? I'm not buying a phone (or find a friend with a phone) and XB1 just for this game. I know for sure the other regions are less strict (disc and digital). I guess its down to licencing and they are glad to have the game at all. Found some Details: https://www.techinasia.com/master-chief-save-chinese-xbox-halo-finally-coming-china/ what happens if I buy the english & chinese disc version on play-asia?

From the same site: They took off the region lock on Chinese consoles. But my concern is this: the international Xbox One is already region free, so could we just buy the Chinese disc version and import it over here? That's assuming they do a disc release because I hear they're heavy on digital sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's assuming they do a disc release because I hear they're heavy on digital sales. Looks like it might be possible then - though I think all games were intended to be digital-only in China, but I just saw an article that said that disc based versions of games will be released at some point, I don't know if that has actually happened yet (http://www.polygon.com/2014/9/23/6833787/xbox-one-china-launch-date-games-lineup). I'm thinking getting a disc would be your best bet; I don't think the digital version will be available on non-Chinese Xbox Ones. Though I wonder if taking the region lock off of Chinese Xbox Ones will mean that they'll be able to get DLC at some point in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most (CN) games are available in Disc format in China FYI however there are rumors of locks and verification for the HK/ China store as people have been setting up fake accounts to take advantage of low prices. We have no tax here unlike the West hence lower prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
