The device is region free (until you select a region for the Blu-ray drive) but other than that, can't say. I haven't received mine yet. I know there's a region-selection to determine what content is in your area. Anyone here know if there was a language selection?

They said that Germany's asinine energy laws are making it so that the console can't have the Kinect listening while the system is powered down, because of some legislation on vampire energy or something stupid. Electronics must be 100% free of energy consumption while powered off, meaning no cold-booting with the Kinect.
