Why is Northern Ireland greyed out in the picture?

Microsoft say a lot of things........
Oh wow. So even though I already decided not to buy an Xbox, it doesn't matter because MS already decided they won't sell me one.
They planned to release in Japan and have a Japanese event and will come back to TGS this year though
How would they tell the age?
Isn't the release date for Asia a year after the rest of the world though? Doesn't sound commited to me. tbh I wouldn't expect them to be after the 360 bombed.
I just read taiwan newspaper yesterday and it said Asia version coming 2014 chinese new year(around 2014 Feb/March)
But i don't think they confirmed now,since back in 2005,they announced 360 coming to Asia "2006 some time" at 2005 September,then 2005 December,they finally announce Asia 360 will release at 2006 March
Speaking with the Wall Street Journal, Microsoft Asia exec Alan Bowman called the companys approach to the continent a staged approach, and confirmed Xbox One for release in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and India around late 2014.
Below is a quote from MS regarding the release of the Xbox One is Asia

Update: Microsoft is refusing to comment on specifics. "In the coming year Xbox One will continue to roll out around the world. Stay tuned for details about future markets and timings," says a Microsoft spokesperson.

http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2013/06/11/microsoft-plots-2014-launch-for-xbox-one-in-asia/I'm sure they will release it but probably to much less fanfare than they are giving the rest of the world. They will know that Sony and Nintendo have the Japanese market but won't want to lose face by not releasing there at all
I'm sorry but I'm more inclined to believe the Microsoft Asia exec than a nameless MS spokesperson.
There was a thread about it.

It worked fine and easy for me, kept my Gamerscore/DLC/XBLA stuff.
Sandra: Thank you for contacting Xbox Chat Support. My name is Sandra and I will be assisting you today. Please give me a minute to check your issue.
Sandra: Hi there.
Sandra: Can I have your name please?
Lee: Oh hi
Lee: call me Lee
Lee: I wanna ask something about Xbox One region specification.
Sandra: Oh his there Lee. How are you today?
Sandra: And yes, go ahead please.
Lee: Microsoft has posted the distribution region here http://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/pre-order-xbox-one/disclaimer and i wanna know can i import the console and games from US and play it in Hong Kong
Sandra: Definitely you can Lee. What xbox one require is just an internet connection that is available 24/7. That means that you just have to have an internet connection of your own. Just like the previous consoles, there are countries that they are not officially sold but the console still works there.
Lee: So,my case is-Xbox One console:US,game:US region,account:US XBOX LIVE account,where i located:Hong Kong
Lee: And Microsoft won't block my ip,right?
Sandra: No not at all since Live and Gold services are both available in Hong Kong. Just like the older consoles Lee, it is not officially sold or distributed to a lot of countries because of the numbers of users that are few but the console still works as long as Live service is available to that country.
Lee: So the Xbox Live service for Xbox One will just like Xbox 360
Sandra: That is right. Only the platform changes but everything pretty much is the same.
Lee: Ok,thanks for your help
Lee: No more question from me,so bye and have a nice day
Sandra: Alright then. See you on Live soon Lee. You take care, okay?
Sandra:
Well now!
Ive been an Xbone fan this whole time.....but this.....this changes everything.
Guessing im gonna be saving myself $100 till MS decides i can play my games wherever the fuck i want.
I just chat with Xbox support,seems they very confident about the region thing unlike twitter support

I don't even understand why they would do IP locking, I see zero advantages for them.

wait a minute....
Well if the live service not in your country,it may really not work,but also still just like 360,you can login in let's say someone live in China but they can use HK XBL to play games
Full list here

yes i know that, but his question was about this exact situation, account: us, location: hk. and the answer is yes only due to live presented in hk. so i think the 360 possibility ended here.
I'm incredibly puzzled by just about everything Microsoft is doing with the Xbone, it doesn't seem sane.
So in the end, who is correct? Microsoft or their Live support? Fucking LOL. Would be nice if Mattrick cleared this up.

Question is what will happen when MS convert MSP to money and then you will change account region.There was a thread about it.
