Just wonder if the DVD drives are responsible for region locking on the xbox?

As i need a replacment drive and was wondering if 1 from USA would work in UK?

Thanks !!

nope..the games themselves are region locked(some not all) to the region you set your gamertag up with.. so in theory you can set up a gamertag from the uk to play region 2 and set up a gamertag with japan as your region and play japanese games with that gamertag

That's not true. The console can be run without a profile if you have no HDD/Memcard. It's down to the dashboard/kernel or where ever it turns out region information is stored on the 360 (more than likely somewhere on the NAND flash...)

hmm never thought of not having hdd or memcard.. i still was sure your gamertag changes the region too like my japanese gamertag i have because it also changes the region for live and wouldnt you think the system would know betterand not allow you to view other regions live and make purchases on it
