They will also be able to choose a language from the following – English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean and Chinese.

Certain Xbox 360 dashboard services such as Facebook and Twitter are not yet compatible in the new territories, and subscription costs have not yet been confirmed.
