    Whats the story with buying japenese region free games? Will all the packaging, videos, text etc.. be in Japenese or English? I would have presumed Japenese but maybe not?

    The Gears of War that I just got off them has dual language packaging, but is the first game I've got from them like that. Every other Asia/ Japan region free game I've got from them has just been all in English.

    NTSC/J is the region code, however you can get a japanese game (sold for the japanese market) or an asian game (sold for the other asian countries such as Singapore etc) under this code.

    If you get asian you will nearly always get the english game with english/chinese<some other language> packaging.

    With the japanese version it depends on the publisher, it it is western games you'll get english and japanese usually. If it is a japanese publisher you may or may not get english. Depends on the game

    Depends on the game. All the ones I've bought were all in English. One arrived and was a Euro PAL version after all.
