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.

'Hermaphro-yokel' is class.

Not pus, you sick fiend. Puss.

Don't let your 'tastes' show themselves in Freudian slips like that Bullett.

US DVD remote. A US Controller probably won't make a difference

So an Xbox + a UK and US controller = multi region DVD player?

Nice.
