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.

Let us know if that is the case.
Will do.
Yes I can confirm that this does work.
Yay, ordered a US one earlier. Result.
So an Xbox + a UK and US controller = multi region DVD player?
Nice.
Nice.
US DVD remote. A US Controller probably won't make a difference
I meant remote you northern-moving-target-for-my-gun-pikey.
It might smell different. Atlantic weather could change your game playing experience forever.
So why put controller then, you Southern pus-licking hobo :P
