Xbox - What region dvds does it play?

Question

Hi, I have an old style Xbox and I have heard that it is multi region. Is this right? Also I heard that whatever region the 1st dvd you play is that all the Xbox will be able to play from then on. I want to be able to watch US region dvds, think thats region 1. Also, I am thinking fo getting my hubby an Xbox 360 Elite. Can that play dvds to and if so what region

Answer 1

No it can play all of the dvd's buddy thats a mistake :)

Answer 2

no, the region code isn't anything to do with the refresh rate the disc drive itself is region coded, however, there are a few xbox 360 games which are not region locked, it will not play region 1 dvds though, it WILL play region 2 and region 0 The PS2 will be the same, UK PAL systems are limited to region 2 unless some kind of unlock code can be used (some older dvd players can be unlocked by code) However, it should be pointed out, some DVDs marked as region 1 are not really region 1, they may be marked as region 1 simply because they must be by law, but some region 1 dvds may actually be region 0, this is a case of luck and trial and error though. The only way to get it to play all DVDs marked as region 1 would be to mod the console, and I would not reccomend that.

Answer 3

Mine plays any region.
