I Really Want To Know Please



dude do u mean like a british xbox er what???

[[N]eto]

Yeah, that's what he means. It should work, I mean, it's the same language. Unless there's a regional lock between America and Britain, too.

[Good Ol' Redneck]

could be ya never know... some places do that

[cHilli]

Im not sure about the XBox but Ps2 definatly wont work, so I wouldnt try it.

[EDIT]

Ok I just checked my XBox and no it wont, on your case of XBox games on the top right corner, under the xbox sign, is a little box with PAL written in it. PAL is europian only.

[Good Ol' Redneck]

well tahts kool ta know

[Laguna Loire]

Yeah, I thought they wouldn't. I think all consoles have different regions. The main ones being PAL and NTSC.

[Good Ol' Redneck]

yea but whats NTSC mean

[Nitrous]

NTSC = America versions of the game.
Not sure what Japan is.

Anyway one reason for the PAL and NTSC versions is more to do with the TV Mhz.
The American games run faster than PAL versions because of the higher MHz of the US T.V's. Some Europien T.V's can run a the MHz speed of the US but not all and this is why we have PAL and NTSC versions.

[Good Ol' Redneck]

i dont know why they dont jes make them all the same but im also jes not right in the head so yeah :D

[Laguna Loire]

Lol, it would be easier to have them all the same...But unfortunatly, that's not how it is. Oh well. *Runs off crying wishing they were all the same* Lol.

[Good Ol' Redneck]

ah well i guess we'l ljes have to pay it no mind dont yee think

[Skeleton Lord]

ya i think they will work just try it.....

[Laguna Loire]

[cHilli]

True but IF you are modding it and I wouldnt reccommend it, make sure you wait till your guarantee is out.

[cHilli]

Yeah its fantastic if you buy a valid chip and do it all right, but it could easily go wrong.;)

[Good Ol' Redneck]

yea i know you can thats why you got to do it right ;)

[Skeleton Lord]

Lol, you didn't read Matrix's post, did you Oni?
Maybe lol

[Laguna Loire]

Yeah its fantastic if you buy a valid chip and do it all right, but it could easily go wrong.;)

That's why I don't want to mod my X-Box. :P I'll do it all wrong and it'll go all f*cked up on me and I'll just run into the bathroom crying my eyes out saying *My X-Box is broken! Waaaaaaaaaaaaa!* And so on....Lol.

[Nitrous]

hmm moding an X box or PS2 is a bad idea. Even if you get it right it can cut the life span of either console by upto 50%. lol my old Playstation kind of died before it should have.

[Forsaken]

the reason the MHZ is different is because your american government is sending u subliminal messages all the time, and they're slowly trying to do it here, but it's not being too effective as most nations are a smarter bunch of people

aren't we my british chums>?

[cHilli]

British?

Snap out of it kris
...^^...
<.>_<.>

[Oddball]

Modding is not a good idea. Espically if you hope to use Xbox Live. You will be caught their if you do.

[Good Ol' Redneck]

dude thats y you get a switch to put on yer dashboard of yer xbox.... u flip that switch and turn it off to get xbox live

[Laguna Loire]

Well, I'm never modding my X-Box or PS2...Like Nitrous said, it can cut the lifespan of your console...I don't want my X-Box to die!

[cHilli]

Yeah we like the console too much to comprimise it:P
