Win region-free games at Xboxic!
If, like us, you like to play as many games as cheap as possible, chances are you’ve run into Play-Asia already. While the Xbox 360 does allow game publishers to put region protection on their games, many games are also region-free, and as such can be imported cheaply for $39.99 USD from the Far Eastern territories by them. To promote this, Xboxic and Play-Asia have teamed up to give 3 of our lucky readers a free region-free game!
What do you have to do? Simple, in the comments below explain in max 50 words why you should be the one to get a free Xbox 360 game. Be as creative as you want, be as funny as you want, as long as you manage to convince us that you’re the one that should get this freebie! If your entry is one of the three best, you can pick any of Play-Asia’s region free Xbox 360 games, such as the excellent Saints Row, or any $40 game that works on your 360, like Test Drive Unlimited that runs on US 360s. Whatcha waiting for? Get writing!
The mandatory but short set of rules:
- Entries must be submitted before October 8 00:00 CET.
- Use a valid mail address to post your entry. Not responding within 72 hours to winners’ confirmation with your preferred game and shipping address = one very lucky runner-up.
- One entry per person. We do check, and at the slightest suspicion of trying to enter multiple times all your entries will be void.
- All entries must abide by the general Xboxic site rules.
Update: We have selected the winners and they have been emailed.
Many thanks to Play-Asia for teaming up on this!
For every game I win, I’ll give the Xboxic crew a free babe.
I dont want your stupid free game.You keep it.How dare you try and get me to think or be creative.Shame on you.
I don’t even need to explain why I will win this
Because I am god
i should get the free game because….i cant afford it…..im broke out of my mind and i need 360 games….thats a good reason right?…
I have a terminal disease, called Gamenitis.. I’ll probably die in the next 6 months, and with this competition, you can help me making these 6 months the best time of my short, yet filled with games, life.. So, please, help me
I should get the free game because I’m not able to afford games that cost 60 euros in Europe and $40
in the US!
I live in Norway and here the games cost over $90.00 USD…
… I wanna play much more new games, and buy 2 games for the price of 1… 
I deserve a free game because I’m a poor student and need to be compensated for the emotional damage caused by xboxic crewmembers like Rival24 and Messiah making my Gamerscore look bad.
I need to get some free games, because I allready bought Saintsrow at playasia. So I’m cool.
What’s an Xbox 360?
My Xbox 360 is lacking the most Xtreme games and since I am poor I don’t have the Xtra cash to purchase the latest and great games. Winning one of your Xbox 360 games would make me Xtremely happy. Xboxic you guys really make my day.
I should win the region free game because my psychic Asian Nan said I would win
I should get this free game because Xboxic is my homepage the 1st site i check each day because i know it brings me all the news worth knowing about on the xbox 360.
*Sigh* I don’t even know why im even bothering to submit a comment. I have gone through 2 360’s and on my 3rd one now. I have never won anything in my life so why start now?
Cause I pwnt your mother
Truthfully, I’ve heard of this site for a while, but been skeptical. If I won, the disks worked, I’d pass along the info to all my friends, and all the forums I visit. I’m very active in a number of forums. Kind of like free advertising. Cool alternate resource too.
I’m not funny,smart or even good looking,i need to be locked up in my home playing more xbox360’s.
I have to win some games because im trying to get into the industry and havent got the money to check out all the competition yet. Until i find a job that is.
Why should I get a free game? Cause’ I’m freaking Godzilla, I mean where else do you think the name comes from. I’ve been hiding under this alias for years… If I don’t get the game I might just go on a rampage and eat someone!
And on the third day, God made the end bold tag, and saw that it was good.
I’ve collected every single US release for the sega cd console! oh… this is an xbox 360 site? Hell give me the game anyway!
3rd xbox 3rd xbox i wish i was so lucky i’m on my 6th xbox 360. now this one is making sounds. pluse i have to pay $50CDN for a 1 year warrenty earch time ir brakes so i have no money to buy any games
so it would be nice to win something for once in my life. well good luck to all the entrys and to more.
i also check xboxic.com everyday many many many many many many many many many times a day from my xbox from my computer from my phone if there is another way to check it i will many many many many mant more times a day
I think I should win the free games as at the moment i’m only earning enough money to pay the rent and petrol. I might just about get enough money to buy Splinter Cell Double Agent, but I can’t buy anything else
I think I should win because for the last month my system was in a microsoft repair shop. One whole month ! So I have some catching up to do, and this would help !!
i should so i can up my gamerscore i need all the help i can get
win
I’m not sure if I should win this because I’m not poor, and my Xbox 360 is close ot dead, but not yet, so I have no huge excuse, but it would be cool to own Saints Row or Test Drive so that I could join the xboxic gang or the xboxic TDU club. I think it’s great you guys are doing this contest, and good luck to everyone.
Love you (L)
why should I win it? Truth is I don’t know but I’ll tell you this - I LOVE FREEBIES. Infact I don’t know a single person who doesn’t love free stuff. Still if your willing to give me a game I’ll take it!
I should get a copy of a region free game because i got the Eye for Detail award on this website, but nobody sended me price yet. And Xboxic has deleted the classic template, so I demand a compensation. Ofcourse i’ll also need to kick cybermans ass with this game I would get. And you get a free uniek visitor a day @ this site =P
Roses are red
Violets are blue
A free game for me
Speaks volumes about you!
When it comes down to it, everythings part of mother nature. Even that game. And man, i’m one with mother nature we’re tight. And everyone knows everything returns to mother nature. So basically you have to give it me, you don’t want mother nature mad, she can be a bitch.
To be honest:
I’ve never ordered a game outside of my country. It would be very exciting and cool to get a region-free game from Play-Asia.
Games usually also costs 70 euros. So money is a important thing.
Also I watch Xboxic every day.
Especially I’m waiting Gears Of War in November.
I wish that could someday have a HDTV, because now i’m playing with normal SDTV. Sometimes that sucks big time.
Thanks for your time and listening
And good night folks! Good Bless Ya!
*clap clap*
“Just when i thought i was out, they pull me back in”
I should be the winner because I will take the free game and use it to teach blind children how to read, and then they can read to deaf kids.
I should get the free game because on thursday there were tornadoes and all kinds of crazy weather and as i was driving to my house a tree fell on my car. it was a full grown pine tree and it totaled the car, i had to drive home in blinding rain with no windows and a crunched roof. oh yeah i love xboxic too.
I’m sure I should win, because I love Xboxic so much, I made a song!
“When I wake up,
Xboxic I go,
not for the news,
but for the TRUE ho’s”
P.s. I should also get a new game, because I spend hours playing with the dashboard water effect from the camera. :-\
I’m the president of Play-Asia.com and I gave no permission for this contest. Please return my merchandise immediately!
I need to win this game because the doctor said if I do not get enough gaming I could suffer severe mental scaring or even death! O and after I am done playing them I give them to the starving pigmes down in New Guinea. I mean they have 360s down there right?
BTW did I mention above that I love Xboxic?
Why should I win? Because games are the only way to distract me from my pschotic family life. My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen-y/o French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet.
You also invented the question mark.
“All your Xbox360-games are belong to me”
Well, I cannot really supply a good reason, other than, you can never have to many games. I am currently playing Perfect Dark Zero, and Kameo: Elements of Power, constantly, whilst waiting for the slew of awesome games this fall. It would be nice to have a new game, to play through, whilst waiting for the crazy rush of awesome games.
I love this site, and use it on a daily basis, several times a day. You get the news fast, and the writing is percise.
Thanks Xboxic,
BigJerm
Well as you all know, utopia will only be reached if everyone wears their pyjamas. So until then, give me the free games and i will help to bring in utopia by wearing my pjs. So send them my way.
Send me a free game. Or I’ll get ya. I know people…I’ll send Michael Jackson to your house. And he will bring his “Wii”
For every word in the confirmation e-mail telling me that i won, i will give you a waterproof teabag, a soluble bathtub, and an inflatable dartboard, my pride and joy inventions!
This is going to be the most commented news ever. 1000 comments at least.
Im from Macedonia, terible place to be, we have been struck with war not long a go,but now with poverty. I got my xbox360 around the time it got out as a gift from local humanitarian organization, all the kids that have lost a father that was soldier in the war, got for christmas eather a DVD player, xbox360, TV or something like that. I got xbox360 with one controler and PGR3, my collection consists of 3 games total PGR3, Burnout Revenge (i bought it for 25 euros when i went to greece and Oblivion as a birthday gift from my friends. I think i should win this game because i dont have the funds to buy any game since i have to go to greece to buy xbox360 game, because in macedonia xbox360 games are not sold.
Thanks in Advance
Alright, well Ive been playing XBOX 360 since I got it, and really love it. I play anywhere from 1-4 hours a day. I have a total of about 13 360 games that I play, and 5 XBOX games that I play alot. So, you can see why I’m sparse on cash, and really could use a free game.
Because I had sex with my girlfriend and then right after that I went and had sex with her Mom
Due to my location in the region free zone in North America, I can only play region free 360 games. This area is in alpha testing and there aren’t many inhabitants yet so I’ve been out of work a while. I’m stuck playing demos and trial arcade games. Please help.
I’ll tell you why I should win, two words…..affirmative action!
I should win a game because I am kept in school all day and have to do homework when I get home, and I need more disruption with a new 360 game. Also, I am poor and cannot afford them myself.
cause cocaine is one hell of a drug.
I think I may just need a free game because I have officialy become addicted to my 360 , but dont have ÂŁ40 for a new game. Please dont make me play anymore hexic otherwise I will start to hallucinate on the streets of London. I’m starting to like hexic a lot as well !
I should win a free game because I’ve covered wars, ya know
I’m a black boy in white skin (called reverse Michael Jackson syndrome). In real life, I want to cap sum ding-heads and get crunk with them. Most of all, I wanna pimp sum ho’s with huge b donka donks. I’ll be straight-up, I’m no saint. I would make the npc’s shit cold purple twinkies. Tis sad, but I’m living on coals and coke. Broke is a universal language, no matter if you are black or white.
Load of BULLS***!! This is another crappy scam!!! I’ve almost been tricked before, but when it was too late Bill Gates didn’t send me his new Zune for my $325.95 and wrote back to me: “haha, sucker!” If you want me to believe this, then SEND ME A FREE GAME!
I dont know if this is even appropriate to mention but my sister past away last night. I just came online to escape the whole family gathering in the main room. Not to use this as sympathy but i really could use an escape right now.
I’m in the Air Force (poor), just had a kid, have a move coming up in 2 weeks and have been too broke to buy a game for 6 months….please help a troop out by throwing a game my way and ending the game drought I’m having…
Proof: www.myspace.com/malik112099
I think that I should probably get a game because I come from the Baltic states and officially there is no 360 in our area, more to that I have to go into Live through UK, plus we don’t get any normal games that could be up to date and the latest and the only official games we can’t get in our shops consist of GRAW, King Kong and PDZ. Of course we can forget about officially released M$ points in our shops - all things are coming through ass. So getting a free game could be a compensation for all the crap Baltic gamers have to go through.
P.S.
And no - we aren’t living in the trees and hunting for food anymore.
P.P.S
Thanks xboxic for keeping us up-to-date. You are doing great job, guys!
Hi,
I have created the Geometry Wars Guide to help the community, I also visit your site a few times each day for the best news. So pick me
You should pick 1 member that’s been around since before june (me). That member should also post on the message boards (me). That member should also be a poor college student (me). And also because I wasted my money previously on FFXI, and I need a game to make up for that.
wow, alot of these people ignore the 50 words max rule.. too bad for them (this isnt an entry)
cause this is the only place i ever go to get news on the 360,and I’m flat broke,and would really like that game….since the only other 360 game i have is table tennis,and I’m tired of hitting balls all day long!
I am a dedicated 360 user who loves this site and has been proud to have witenessed the growth here. I help any 360 user I can, and I am happy Major Nelson deems us worthy of his time. Vote SidearmS for free Saints Row! Thank you!
Why should I win? because I’m in college and have NO money at all. ahh, the college life, gotta love it… =S
I want a free game so i can give it in a contest in my xbox site :D:D:D!Besides that,we want an Xbox Live server here in Greece!Portugal will have a server in a few days,we are the last country in whole Europe that dont have a server.
We have an old sayin here in Greece when you are in a brothel: the last guy in the queue will stay inside more than the others or he wont take anything cos it’s time to close.I hope we stay inside more….
Cheers guys,you know i like you so much and i m aiding as much as i can with news submit!
p.s. I dont want a game,i want Xbox Live server here in Greece! Really, Play-Asia can give us one for free?? :P:P
Like i said before, i am god
Now bow down before me and give me a free game
Pwetty Pwease with a chewwy on top

We seem to be having trouble with understanding the rules here, so I’m going to re-iterate for Curry, and in bold this time.
The word limit is 50. This means you do not use more than fifty words in your entry. You may use less than 50 (e.g.
Thank you for listening to my Internet shouting.
I can do whatever i want..i’m a black white dude.
I am a gamer at heart, I love all games, regardless of system. Whether I purchased it or not, its treasured and played thoroughly. Thats all I have to say….=)
In should win this because I dont have a job. Seriously, I love to play my 360. Ive had one since August, and only have one game…PGR3.
I should win because I games for fun, not competition. Stats don’t mean anything to me; as long as I have fun, I play.
i am poor only got one game cant afford any xbox broke gettin back soon have to borrow games from cousin and friends please in need for games poor man
Wish i could get the free games but the guy whos gonna give u guys the babes deserves it heres to pimpin your girl for a game.
I should win one of the three games because my wife doesn’t allow me to spend money on games anymore… What should I then do when she has her period???
i should win because, i have no car and live in a one bedroom apartment with my 3 year-old son all my money has been going to getting a car and a larger apartment!
i should win a new game cos it will slow down my terrorism plot, just think of the lives you could save. xboxic saves the world, hurrah
I never win contests, so Give me a free game or I’ll drown a kitten. Ah hell with it, ill drown a kitten anyway. I hate Cats.
Dogs RULE!
i should win a few game because i got cerebral palsy twice from playing so much…and now i have to play with my toes :\
hahahahaha…this is funny!!…..in my opinion everyone is gonna lose…hahaha ive read all of them and not one sounds really convincing….a think they should of made the contest alittle harder…..that way they could be a clear winner….*cough* im gonna win *cough*….i have a cold..hahaha…
p.s everyone is a winner in my mind….
Why should I win? To prove that there’s actually some justice in the world, and that the human race isn’t entirely made up of jerks. =/ Sure, it’s only a videogame; not a donation to starving children or something. But it’d be nice if karma were on my side, this time.
I got a mortgage
give me give me
I’ll sell it and give the money to Sony as they will be bankrupt next year!
I should get the 360 game becausei am THE BEST GAMER IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
And i would also like to play the game as i dont have it. :(((
Because I am sooo tired of playing with the XBOX 360’s dashboard.
Because I will show the game to everyone in Japan (I live there) and win the 360 some much needed ground!
I work with military teens who’s parents are in Germany. I’ve been using your site to keep these kids in the know. I’d love to win one of your games so I can share it with some really bored kids who’s only other option for fun is getting plastered.
Now’t wrong with getting plastered and with German Beer no less, wheres the downside?
Now you may think I don’t need either one of these region free games as I already have them in my collection, but if you give me one, I can then trade it along with another of my games for GoW on release so making the price of GoW = ÂŁ0.00.
Go on.
Just realised that was one word over.
Shit.
Just give me a fucking game or i’ll go postal, kill strangers and blame you guys.
Games are not for weak people they say……i wonder why im playing along…..perhaps because im not a weak person and would like another game…*hrmmm*
Because I’d hate to think I wasted my time typing this …
A xbox a game a day, will keep the doctor away!
because i’m a pro gamer,i can beat everyone in every game with my foot and the Monitor turned off!!!! pure skill…
if i get a free game. it will help me solve my problem with the addiction to World of Warcraft. i used to be a good 360 player. now it’s 360 eating dust and getting cold. so give me the free game, and it will be hot and burning again.
Because we Americans love free stuff!!!!!
OK, everybody loves free stuff… I could give you a hundred BS reasons, like my dog died and I need a new best friend, or my little brother has some degenerative ass-munching disease; but everyone knows it would be complete bullshit. Asking gamers to be creative and original may be asking a bit too much, judging by most of the entries so far, so why don’t we make it fair and just pick 3 winners at random. Or better yet, just give me all 3 games. Ya, that sounds about right…
I think i deserve it because i love to play games and i always get the full use out of them
All your free games are belong to me.
Deserving? I know I don’t. But I still wish it!
Because…
It was a Saturday, two days after my birthday. I was playing FIFA World Cup on my 360, the game that I got from my mother as a present. She went through a lot of trouble to bring it to me.
Anyway… I was playing… and suddenly when I got closer to the screen the 360 started going weird and guess what? It fell off the table! I guess I was lucky in a way, because the 360 itself still works. Unfortunately, the game I got from my mother is broken.
Because we Europeans always have to PAY more then people over at japan and the USA.
Unlike others, I *can* afford to buy a game from play asia…I’m just too cheap. That’s right, I don’t think my money’s good enough for them. Er…wait…I mean…uhhhhhh…
I’m good enough. I’m smart enough. And doggonit, people like me!
I am a vidiot. Me likum games. I also have two thumbs on my right hand, making me the ultimate joystick handler. This also makes me very popular with the ladies. I once made a girl meow.
I should win this because…
all because I trusted someone and they paid with a stolen credit card. Moral of the story: Never use Paypal, and give me a free game PLEASE!
Someone bought an expensive item on eBay from me and paid using a stolen credit card. Paypal is blaming me and now I’m out of a lot of money. I won’t be able to buy any new games for a while until I save up enough to pay off Paypal. If you want a screenshot of my paypal balance, its at -301.84. http://img316.imageshack....6/9794/ihatepaypalrt0.png.
Working a $5.50 an hour job at the local movie theater would take…54 hours of work to make that much. So until I work 54 hours, its no more xbox 360 games for me
Wh47$ m0r3 (r3471v3 7h4n PÂŁ34$3!
I believe I deserve a free game because for the past three months, I have been trying to get a job with no avail. I feel there are demons out there holding me back from getting money and they’re probably going to hold me back from getting this free game.
I should win because in Jamaica games cost a 100 usd + 16.5% tax. Even if I bought a game from play-asia by the time it got to customs I will have to pay so much tax it will come to around 80US. It would still be by far the cheapest game I have ever bought. I need to win because as a gamer Im being raped by Jamaican retail.
I have owned an xbox 360 since early December 2005. I had enough money to buy 1 game. I have yet to be able to buy another game because of financial troubles. Infact, my XBL account was permanently cancelled by Microsoft because I could not pay the bill.
I don’t deserve these games any more than anyone else. But I would go… ROCK STARRR Table Tennis! Play all my friends, suck my family into gaming. Everyone go “IMPRESSIVE”. Party party party party is what everyone would do. What’s that game?! I GOT NEXT! My guy sucks! AHHH! I WASNT READY! Man that was a blast, ping pong yo lets play one more! NERDS, games at a party? YO THIS IS FUN! Yo yo yo bring THAT PING PONG GAME. Settle disputes over this. I GOT WINNER! AHHHHHHH!
I deserve this free game because purple monkeys always have a shot at the Stanley Cup on Tuesday nights - AKA - I’m broke, lol.
I deserve a free game because I can’t afford to buy games. I’m also better than those other people. Also I have to much free time so it’s either playing xbox or doing some other things with should not be said aloud for the sake of possible children reading
Idle hads are the devils workshop
I think i should win cuz im BROKE and have 0 dollars to buy a new game. Help a poorboy out!
I’ve only had 2 xbox 360 games, which are PDZ (OMG I HATE THIS GAME) and Oblivion(omg i’ve gotten sick of this game thats how long i’ve been playing it) i’m kinda strapped for cash so I would hope to win this contest
Because i jumped in.
Not only did I pay more than 3.300 DKR (~ 570 USD) for the xbox 360 (premium though), I also forked over 490 DKR (~ 85 USD) for Oblivion - prices are crazy here in Denmark, so I mostly buy old xbox games
Soon my mother has birthday, and that would be a nice gift for her, since she hangs so often on xbox live.
I should win because i reccomend all my friends to play-asia for all there games, cause there the best for games
hello, i want the free game because i can then fullfill my life long dream of owning a 360, so here’s the crack, u give me that game and i sell it for $300 and buy an xbox 360!! please?:D
Eviiiil eviiiil little munsters be snatching all my PAL games and eatin’ em. But them munsters, them trolls and spunksters, seem not to care for region frees, methinks me deserve, to keep said munsters at bay.
Because winters in Finland are cold… very cold.
I bought my 360 at launch, but the only Game I have is Perfect Dark and Dead Rising. Since the first number of 360 is a three, I need one more game to get it right!
I deserve the game because my GamerScore should be higher…
I like cheap games but I LOVE free games!!
I would love to get a game for free
because money dont grow on a tree
and games in the UK cost a lot
and Perfect Dark is the only game I have got
but if i win then what game will it be ??
I deserve a region free game because I, like many others is a poor, hungry for gaming student. I also need something to hold me over until GoW comes out… ÂŁ50 is a lot of money for a game, and I just don’t have the heart to steal mum’s credit card.
The Xbox 360 was only launched in South Africa on the 30-09-2006, I got mine on the 31-09-2006 because my father left to work over sea’s for 6 months because there are no jobs in SA, only jobs as security gaurds earning $150 p/m.
(PS : SA does not have Xbox live)
Because im a 30 year old virgin! if that doesnt earn me a free game then i dont know what will!!!!
Gunna announce the winner soon?
told you i wouldn’t win it. i guess you dont win if you have a high gamerscore >:(
SO WHO WON? I smell something fishy here.
PLEASE CAN I HAVE ANY GAME I WANT BECAUSE THERE IS REALLY ONE GAME I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE I WILL TELL YOU IF I WIN!
credit repair…
Although you might think you only need to fix your credit report by talking to Equifax or one of the bureaus, you’ ll have the best luck if you also contact the creditor. Generally, you’ ll want to speak to the billing department because they are t…
