hi was wondering, does a few ntsc games like doa4 work on the uk pal version, just had a look on ebay and a few people were selling them and saying there region free thanks


A few games are region free like do2 and doa4 and thus the ntsc version will work on a pal machine
There is quite a few lists about do a search on google
as i cant remember from top of my head

Just because something is Region Free doesn't mean you can use it on another TV, right?  I thought PAL games had to be played on a PAL TV.  I'm not 100% sure, not even 75%, but I thought it had something to do with the frequency.  I would check on that more.

All PAL tvs since the introduction of EURO AV (scart) and RGB handle 60hz as long as you USE rgb scart cable and your TV is not a low-end piece of crap. I have a 28" CRT from the year 1987 that supports RGB and PAL60 but not s-video (which is newer yet crappier signal).

It's the NTSC tubes that do not support PAL50 most of the time, so NTSC users cannot view PAL movies or PAL games running at their proposed frequenzy.

yes to what he said ^

plus Standard PAL tv has more lines then NTSC so it can display easily. and some PAL tvs you don't even need RGB scart, as they can handle NTSC colour too.

READ THE STICKY

if you had read it you would have seen this link here:
http://en.wikipedia...._Xbox_360_Games

the sticky also includes an explanation of the differences between the consoles in different regions and what works where.

Yeah it does work. I actually started a thread on this the day it came out. You should have just done a search.
