leonard,

Unfortunatly you can't convert games from regions. However you can play region free games on your console.

This seems to be the best region compatibility guide I've seen Here

If you have any other questions feel free to ask!


Best Regards,
Frozenfire1

Just a little heads up.

Many consols sooner or later have homebrew applications for the pc or the consol itself. You may be familiar with the XBOX Pal - NTSC or even the converter app for the ps2. These are all great but..

My point is, even if they exist a year or two later , they will only work less that half of the time.

Many Xbox 360 game are region free anyway so there is no real need for the PAL/NTSC video converters. I always import NTSC games which are region free because it works out cheaper and normally released much sooner.

I know this topic is old but thought id get my posts up.. hehehhe

yes, i know, shut up hobbs,

Not that big of a deal because most if not all pal games are out on NTSC.

actually it quite is. many such as my self have or had systems for a certain region. If you moved else where, then your out of luck, and vice versa.

Also, many people borrow games from friends and family, i have family who moved fro Europe down to US and we have troubles trading games.

But that is only for those of the unfortunate.

Now that is a certain situation where it sucks. If your like me though that everyone I know has NTSC games from us its ok.
