I bought a game from Japan and it has a redeem code.I go to the usual place to enter the redeem code and it has 2 less letters.I went to the site on the page w the redeem code but where to enter a redeem code you can only type in Japanese.
While a lot of physical games aren't region locked, typically you need an account in the proper region to unlock a code I THINK. I could be wrong. Depends, what storefront are we talkin?
