game coding for Xbox360 PAL in USA?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

urgent,

...a person bought me a PAL X box 360 from europe. I have to send it to the USA.
what is regional coding for GAMES?I know about DVD not working.

what about games, if she buy games at w-mart, does it work on my xbox360 pal???

...Um, of course not. PAL is not compliant with NTSC and vice versa. And currently there is no soution to this I think. It's way too early to circuimvent this to my knowledge.

Not to mention the question being well outside the realm of DVD encoding.

you dont help me, must this person pay me $$$ for a Xbox360 PAL???.
is it going to work if she buys US games???

if u say no, i will refuse her payment from the USA, and will not ship my xbox360.

Please, this is urgent, I need to know.

be honest

just tell her that your not sure whether or not she will be able to use it

[johnhamler1]

yes, I told her that she will have to ask before to purchase games, and if not, look on the net for multiregional games, or buy from ebay.

Games bought in USA will not work on a machine bought in europe. Games bought in europe will not work on a machine bought in USA.
Does that answer your question? There is no such thing as multi-regional games.
You need something to get around this, by either using a multi-region disc or a mod chip, of which I'm sure neither exists yet.
