There have been a lot of rumors going around that say the X-Box will be able to play NTSC games without anykind of add on or chip. It is also said that when you get the DVD add on with the remote it will also let you play import DVDs from anywhere. Is this true and are there anymore rumors going round?

I've seen the box of this console and it has the words PAL written on it so that means that the X box is not region free though it doesnt look like well see crap conversion like on the Playstation 2.

hmmmmmmmmmmm...

That would be really good if it actually happens but i dont think £35 is enough FOR MICROSOFT per region.. They'll ask for more....

that's not a bad idea, but would cost a lot depending on what regions you want especailly at £35 for each remote, you shoudl wait a while i bet someone will do the same as ps2 dvd region x for it

yeah as far as i know this is official news, as my user name says i import the things and i have phoned microsoft xbox support line to verify this.

I would suspect that games will not run all teritory, which is a shame but iam sure a modification will be avilalbe to solve this problem if u really want to.

any questions feel free to mail me

Oh well, I have my PS2 with region-x so I dont really want to be bothered with the remote for the X-Box.
