It seems you change the DVD region your Xbox can play determined by the the remote you're using.
I bought a UK one hoping to use it on both my UK and US Xboxes. I tried it in the US one but it said my US DVD's were an invalid region. I tried a UK R2 DVD in the US machine and it worked.
I'm guessing a US-bought remote would let you play R1 DVDs in your UK Xbox, meaning instead o hunting down the ever-elusive DVD Region X disc, you could just buy a US remote.
Can anyone confirm this? I'm about to order a US remote anyway as I need it to watch my R1 DVDs with.

Oh great, so now my US Xbox will play UK DVDs and my UK Xbox will play USA DVDs.
Nice.
Nice.
That sucks. And it's silly.
Buying the U.S Remote and using it on a UK Xbox does play U.S region 1 DVD titles but once the Region 1 infra-red box is put into the UK Xbox, the UK Xbox will ONLY ever play Region 1 titles as it places the code on to the hard-drive.
Got this from site while looking more info, I knew it was to good to be true.

The Ultimate Typo
They're good online fag buddies.
EDIT: Haha, since it was such a good typo I'm going to leave it there!

YOU HAVE RUINED MY THREAD!
Bah, you will not accept defeat, so I shall postpone this little spat on the grounds that I am fooking tired.
I'm off to bed. Good Night to you all.
Except Cyclone the Employee-of-the-Month at the Fudge Packing plant
