Hi all,

Dont know if any of you can help but I have been waiting ages for the xbox version of DVD Region X. This dont look like it is ever going to come now.

Therefore I woundered if I could buy a US DVD remote and plug it in my UK xbox. I know this will/would work but I already have the UK remote. My question is can I chop and change from one to another. I thought I read somewhere in the early days that you could not do this. Once a remote was connected that was it, the region was set.

What do you think?

I dont want to buy a multi region dvd player and my PS2 is starting to mash cd's/dvd's up.

Swapping the remotes won't make a difference I don't think. Its the DVD drive that reads the DVD's and all the remote does is operate the on screen functions. I don't know where you heard that but I am sure it is wrong.

As for the Region X trouble it doesn't look like it will appear for a while yet. I
