X Box 360 and Re-Shelled international stuff

*Coola Yagami* · 08-11-2009, 08:43 PM

Here's a quick question for anyone from around the world. See, I'm living in Mexico but will be hitting the US soon. I'm hoping to buy an X Box 360, get the Gold membership and some Microsoft points to hopefully download some games. Now here's the kicker.... if I buy the system and whatnot over there... will I be able to DL games when I get back into Mexico?

See, from what I see, I can just sign up from the US site to get an account, and once I have the Gold membership and the Points, I can just cruise the website and DL the games I want. However, the US site has all the latest stuff, including Re-Shelled and MVC2. BUT the Mexican version has no mention of the new games yet, and there isn't even a DL option anywhere on the older TMNT arcade that was released on Live in 2007.

So in theory, can I buy a 360, the Gold Membership and the Points in the US, go home, and DL Re-Shelled off the US site or will there be some kind of 'this is not applicable in your country' BS like the 4Kids site?

You should be able to do it. I've made fake accounts on both my PS3 and 360 in order to DL Japanese content before, using my North American 360. I don't know if paid content is different, but I'm assuming it's the same. If you buy a US 360, with US points, then create a US account, I'm almost 100% sure it'll work.

Jeff Gertsman just was talking about doing that on his 360 on tuesday. He entered his credit card info to get a japanese arcade title. So, Peanut is right.

Dang, now I think about it, it wouldn't have worked anyways because I didn't know at the time that I needed a Hard Drive attached to the XBox for the XBox Live stuff.

So does anyone here actually own Re-Shelled? Especially now since it's long been de-listed and the only way to play it is to have had downloaded it back in the day?

That reminds me, I still own TMNT Out of the Shadows.

Even if terrible I wish we had legal (or otherwise) ways of playing de-listed games all these years later.

Hate that I missed out on Steam version of Mutants in Manhattan before it vanished…into the night… around New Years Eve.

Yeah it sucks I was never able to get it. The same goes for the TMNT arcade but seeing how it was handled back then with the lame 2017 TMNT pics on the borders and all that... I'm glad we got the current collection.

Back in Mexico I only had dial up, and I didn't know how these online game things work. It wasn't til I moved to PA and got the hard drive and the XBox Live sub that I learned about how all that worked.

And I have to say, I was such a noob back then to the concept of these subs occasionally giving free games.

"Hey it says Asassins Creed 3 is free? Nawwwww that can't be right"

"yeah it's free, go for it."

"naw... this has to be a trailer or something. I mean I know the game is old but it was a huge deal when it came out. No way they'd give the entire game away for free".

"dude, it's free. just download it."

-downloads it, boots it up, the actual game intro plays-

"HOLY ****, IT AN ENTIRE GAME FOR FREE"

Yeah, I got Re-Shelled back when it released. Ran through it some time ago with my nephew who was getting into TMNT at the time. It sucks that delisted games don't transfer over to modern consoles which is the only reason I still have my 360 plugged in.

*LeotheLateBloomer* · 10-19-2022, 06:42 PM

Even though I played a demo, I never got around to buying. I wish I did, is there any way to emulate the game? Normally I don't do that but it seems to be the only way to access the game now.
