Thanks for Posting! However, I will share an important disclaimer taken from the SD thread ... (the Xbox One offerings are identical in both markets THIS month)

Occasionally JP region will have different GWG games compared to US. Not all the time. It has been posted few times in SD whenever the games are different and we have got it. It only works for XBOX one games since they are region free. Not 360.

For those unsure of this, I did this last month with Zoo Tycoon and it worked perfectly.

Region free just means that the origin region of a game doesn't affect its ability to be played on a console from a different region. To that end, like I said, 360 games are region free on xbo

Yup I'm having the same issue. The xb1 games seem to work fine but the 360 games always show a price for me

Xbox One games are region free to play and purchase. Xbox 360 games are region free to play but it will base your purchase price on the region for your account itself, not the store link you use. So you would have to change your account region and have a valid credit card matching a Japanese address to get the Japan 360 GWG titles. Changing your region to get a free game or get a cheaper price on a game is actually against the terms of agreement you accept when signing up for Xbox Live and you can be banned for it.

My suggestion is stick with the region free Xbox One titles as you cannot be banned for it and it does not require any changes to your account or payment method.
