According from Play-Asia, the Xbox 360 is available in three region versions:* NTSC-U (/C) - United States, Canada.* NTSC-J - Japan, Korea, Asia ( China, Singapore, Hong Kong, Sri-Lanka, India etc. )* PAL - Europe & AustraliaWhy is the Xbox 360 region protected and the Playstation 3 is region free?Cause Microsoft wants to prevent its piracy things.So, UK doesnt have NTSC-J Xbox 360 systems but PAL ones, unless you bought one (Xbox 360 NTSC-J) via internet or something;).A year ago, i also bought some Xbox 360 games from UK (www.amazon.co.uk , cause they got some games which are available in diffrent editions) and all the games were PAL (regions).So i got also a PAL Xbox 360 and soon also a NTSC-J Xbox 360:).And some games are or could be region free. Check the website of Play-Asia via this link for region protected games, region free games, in-game languages and more beneath.Xbox360™ Regional Compatibility Guidehttp://www.play-asia.com/paOS-00-3-xbox360_compatibility_guide-49-en.htmlNOTE:When i bought the Xbox 360 (NTSC-J) from Play-Asia, i saw the features and of them was, "This is the Asian version console. Only suitable to play Japanese/Asian NTSC-J encoded or Region Free Games"Play-Asia is saying in the "Xbox 360 Regional Compatibillity Guide" that there are two NTSC-J versions for Asia like, "Japanese Version" and the "Asian Version". But actually, they arent diffrent. Cause it WILL STAY, the NTSC-J region code. So theres nothing special or worry to about;).
Very tough indeed. Not 100% reliable. Better buy your region games only. Also, make sure that if your Xbox is for eg: Ntsc-J, then mostly only Ntsc games will work. Same with Pal etc.
No. NTSC games will not work on a PAL Xbox 360.
yah my xbox 360 plays PAL, but Nintendo games are not region-free generally.
No, because different continents have different "region codes" or something like North America has NTSC format and Asia has PAL.
Yes, they should, both are European region. the regions are Europe, North America and Asia (Japan) this is due to the tv format being either Pal, NTSC, or NTSC-J
Yes, a Chinese HDD works on my Canadian Console. HDD's are region free.
ps3 games are region free, so they can play on any console. ps1, ps2, xbox, xbox 360, and blu-ray movies are region coded.
sorry, no you can not. NTSC is a format that can only be played on a NTSC console. NTSC and PAL are two different coding methods. NTSC is coded for the North America and South America. pal is coded for across seas.
no
well as a matter of fact region zero is always better than goin for ntsc or pal because you can play all the DVD titles which may either be ntsc or pal support.. regardin price i think your DVD player has an option to convert it into region zero. so ensure that when you buy a DVD player its made REGION FREE that is region zero..
No you cant, since UK uses PAL encoding system, so it stops people from bringing USA games or equipment for the Xbox 360 to UK or vis versa while USA uses the NTSC encoding system, these codes are encoded into the Xbox 360, American=NTSC UK,Europe=PAL
