I have two games: Skyrim and Fifa 13. They are both NTSC-U games but my NTSC-U xbox blocks me from playing the games due to region block.
The xbox was bought in Japan while on a trip there, but at the initial setup the region was set to US because that is where I get my games from.
Other US games (such as Mass Effect 2 and 3, Dead Space, Halo 4, Gears of War, etc) work without any issues. But for these two there seems to be a problem.
The Skyrim is the second copy of the game that I have bought, the previous copy had the same issue (region locked), and I assumed purchasing a new copy would resolve this problem but it's still here.
How do I resolve this issue?

The region of the Xbox 360 is factory set and not affected by user settings on the console, therefore your console is probably NTSC-J, hence why some of the games, specifically those locked to NTSC-U, don't work.
