So my buddy is keen to buy a Kinect for his U.S. xbox 360 console. He has no doubt the hardware will work, yet will the games that he buys work here? So far play-asia has said they are ALL region locked, even the bundled kinect adventures game that comes with the unit. I just wondered if anyone who had a u.s. console had gone ahead and bought the kinect here and if so have any of the games worked or not? Sometimes play-asia is wrong. My buddy has bought it but isn't going to open it until he hears for sure. Thanks in advance........................

Well my friend's wife read the box and it sounds like it's a no go. So he's going to return it. Oh well...

Kinect Adventures is not region locked. Neither is Dance Central. Your Shape is. I got these 3 games with my Kinect in Korea for my US Xbox. I don't know about any other games though.

Ok thanks for the info. I've passed it on to him. Not sure if he's already returned it or not. I do know he wanted some game called Dr. (something) which is a brain/puzzle game.
