Hey everybody I have a question: Is the Xbox One IP locked (or region locked)?
I live in Romania and even though Microsoft didn't launch the One in my country, suppliers still sell them. All the games they sell are also from the UK. If I make a UK account will I be able to play downloaded games and DLC from UK, or will I be prohibited due to my IP?
I also have the same question for the Playstation 4. Thanks in advance!

You can use Xbox one hardware as it's not region locked.But the digital games and DLC are region locked.PS4 games and content are also region locked.You can get a good explanation from the forum user -

I think it will not work with your IP but somehow will scan your Xbox ON to get the country so regardless of you account changing it will not download it! if the game is region blocked!Xbox One Officially Goes Region Freehttp://www.primagames.com/games/ryse-son-rome/news/xbox-one-officially-goes-region-freeThat doesn't mean Xbox Live games will be region freehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_lockoutThe original Xbox as well as the Xbox 360 are region-locked, although it is up to the publisher if a game is region-free or not. A number of games are region-free and will play on a unit from any region. Digital content through Xbox Live are also region-locked, such as DLC, movies, and apps.The Xbox One, was initially planned to have a region blocking policy that would have prevented its use outside its region in an effort to curb parallel importing. However, Microsoft later reversed the policy and the final retail version of the console was not region-locked.Region Free Xbox 360 Gameshttp://gaming.wikia.com/wiki/Region_Free_Xbox_360_GamesXbox360™ Regional Compatibility Guidehttp://www.play-asia.com/paOS-00-3-xbox360_compatibility_guide-49-en.html
