Are 360 games region-free?
Im going to Washington and New York in 2 weeks time and I want to buy a load of 360 games where they are cheaper than here. However, I dont know if American 360 games will work on a European 360.
Anyone know?

In short, some are, some aren't. Most should be O.K.

Yeah I forgot about that although it shouldn't matter if you use a PC monitor to play them on.

Yeh I wouldnt risk it either. If you did get em and they didnt work, you wouldnt get all the money back if you sold them as they are still NTSC!!
Save the money or spend it elsewhere if I were you....just to be on the safe side....

'Play asia' is a good place to check on region free games.
