    2) Trying to buy a couple of the US-exclusive titles on the 360 marketplace website, and indeed an actual 360, has been a fruitless endeavour - It keeps saying "Sorry, this offer is not vaild in your region" even tho I've used a VPN and have set my account to the US, and they're simply not showing up on my 360, even when I have my region set to US. Is there a fix, or am I just pissing in the wind?
    If the games are US NTSC-exclusive, you'll never be able to buy or play them on PAL console, VPN won't help, it's just impossible. They can only be played on US NTSC console. Examples: Adrenalin Misfits, Air Conflicts: Secret Wars, NCAA Basketball 09: March Madness Edition
    Not true for NCAA Basketball 09: March Madness Edition. I bought and completed the game back in 2009 on my PAL console.
    How did you manage to do it? I tried to do it on my PAL console without VPN, but I got restricted.
    It was 15 years ago so I don’t remember exactly what I did. At least you need a profile based in the US or Canada to buy it, but you probably already knew that. I am not sure if I bought it from the website and added it to my queue there or bought it straight from the console. If you can’t buy it without VPN then I most likely had VPN on.

    I'm still beyond pissed they just delisted Undercover
    A person can still at least get the disc and install and play at least, correct? If so just curious
    Yeah that's true, and probably what I'll do. It just annoys me that they announced one thing then woke up and went 'whoopsies!'

    No. That'd be how things should work but this is microsoft so you're bound to have the disc inside the console still after the install
    You should've been fired long ago Phil!

    Try on the website
    https://marketplace.xbox.com/en-us/Product/Fight-Night-Round...

    Weird enough in my country (Mexico) it's full price on the website but discounted on console but I can't buy it
    interesting, for me it shows as $2 on the webpage but $20 on the 360. cant buy it either though, keep getting that "no valid payment option" error like others been talking about.

    i appreciate the link anyway, thanks

    Does anyone know if there are people playing Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare? I got it on promotion, but I don't know if there are many people playing it
    Thank you for the information, but unfortunately I will not be able to participate at this time

    I went back to it to complete DLC's 2 years ago - was almost like a ghost town online.

    Just to give an update on purchasing via the website, as of this morning I have been able to purchase things again through the marketplace, without getting any errors.

    Unfortunately fight night round 3 is still unable to be purchased, it gives an error after you attempt to buy it.

    Yeah, no valid payment option error went away finally after coming out of nowhere this weekend.

    Good heavens! Would you look at the time!

    I'm wondering if there's any other bugged DLC that's not on this list?
    The one's I know of

    L.A. Noire,
    Gears of War 3,
    Fry cry 4,
    Rabbids Invasion: The Interactive TV Show,
    Assassins Creed 3,
    Shadow of Mordor,

    Life is Strange, [[ Although someone says if you buy the Season Pass then: Have episode 1 installed then go into the game, select the second option down (Play Episodes?) and then select the other ones to download them if you have the Season Pass.
    The trick is only to do them ONE AT A TIME, so wait for Ep 2 to completely download before starting Ep 3 etc or they just cancel the previous download. ]]

    are any of these gonna get patched?

    Finally able to purcahse Resident Evil 360. The marketplace web link will only bring you to a page that won't allow you to sign in, you cannot manually search for it on the web because it won't show up.

    Searching on the 360 store from console for "Resident Evil" gives 108 mixed media results and you cannot filter by games, the game is not included in those results.

    BUT if you search for "Resident Evil Game" it'll appear buried in a list of 32 results

    There are only a few games that I don’t currently own but I’m just getting an infinite spinning circle when I click purchase it’s like the page never finishes loading so the transaction isn't completing

    Quick question, do Dishonored (Xbox 360) and Dishonored: Game of the Year Edition (Xbox 360) share the same achievement list? If so, wouldn't it be better for me to grab a physical copy of the GOTY edition?

    Yes the are the same game with the same list. If you don't have the DLC the GUY edition is the way to go, as it's pretty cheap.

    Edit: You just install the DLC from the disc, so you could by the digital copy- install the dlc, and play it all digitally as well (If you want to buy both since they are so cheap)

    Thank you! And one more question. Should I buy the Evil Within Season pass via the 360 marketplace, or in-game? I know sometimes the process can be funky.

    When in doubt, always buy through the console.

    Sounds like the pass works great though:

    Season Pass still works correctly (June 2024)

    What I don't understand though is, I know most GOTY editions are the best to go for (if they have the DLC on the disc) but why in gods name is Bioshock Infinite the Complete Edition going for £80 on ebay!
    I'm better off just buying the DLC which is like around £30.
    Like seriously why £80? I understand Silent Hill Downpour and Spider-Man Web of Shadows going for £80... but Bisoshock Infinite? really?

    Also, curious question, are all/most Telltale games not available to buy on the 360?
    I'm struggling to buy the Season Pass for The Wolf Among Us, Walking Dead Michone and some others.

    I think a lot of Telltale games got delisted when they went defunct. Some got delisted even before that (like the Game of Thrones one).
