Well, somewhere in Europe anyway.
Hypothetically, if I went to America and brought back an X-Box, what would I need to be doing to make it work over here?
And can it be made to play PAL games?

Oh, and the 'American X-Box in Paris' was a cheap lame reference to the film An American Werewolf in Paris :^)

No, but I'll (hopefully) be in Canada for a while soon, without a console, so it looked like it could have been a good time to get an X Box for the stay, then bring it back.
I guess I'll just get a GBA (or PSP).

I'm certainly not afraid of opening the console. Soldering is pushing it a tad though, when it's a hundred pounds of gear that I'm pouring metal-goo over.
Plus I'd be wanting xbox liveage...
If I had an american xbox, a transformer and a ntsc tv, and all my games were imported, would that all work and still cope with Live?

It sounds scary... especially with my history with soldering irons.

Hmm, chips scare me. I think I'll leave well alone :^)
Oh and obviously a TV that accepts NTSC signals.

You'd need a stepdown converter for the power.

No - Not unless you modify the console with a chip - Some chips come with switchs that allow you to "turn" them off so you can go on LIVE without being banned etc.
Not that I know about this stuff.....*cough* *ahem* Heh

Look around the web for mod-chips and the like, you won't be able to get onto LIVE, which is a bítch, but you'll still enjoy the box. :-D
