January 21, 200620 yr I have a quick question that may seem dumb to some. Do games have those different format zones...You know like DVD's where if you buy a DVD in Japan it won't work on a USA DVD player...Do they have those for PC games, the different formats? Because I'm looking at buying a game that's from an Australian seller, and I was wondering if it would work on a Canada computer...I don't wanna do all this and find out it doesn't work.
January 21, 200620 yr Some companies add a check on installation to see where you are, but there's nothing built into a game CD that will stop you from using it. If it does complain, you might be able to change your location in Windows and trick the check. If you get the game on a DVD there might be a problem, but I don't know enough about the region stuff to say.
January 21, 200620 yr No, there aren't regions. Example: people buy USA world of warcraft disks to play on the USA servers. Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be.
January 22, 200620 yr Well, since computer parts are, multi region, putting any kind of region blocking on them is kind of pointless.
January 22, 200620 yr People would just get around it too easily as well. Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be.
January 22, 200620 yr Author Well, it's a copy of Unreal Tournament...So it's obviosly on CD, so it should be fine then? There is absolutely no way it could fail?

January 22, 200620 yr It should be fine, although some games (medal of honor) only seem to come with one language, mine for some reason thinks it is french, even though the dialog for the game is in English, when i patch it i have to download the french patch :lol:

There's no way you could get it from around your area? Nope :(. Atleast, not in it's original packaging. I've looked all over the region, and evey website I could find (including the people who publish it) and they either have it used or in a jewel case...I kinda really want the original packaging.
