Dear all,

I am from Hong Kong and plan to buy a xbox at once when it
release in Asia later. I have some questions concern about
the DVD playback and the system.

1. Does the Xbox has region code restriction on DVD
playback?

2. Does it has video system format in NTSC or PAL?

Please answer me if anyone can help!

Billy

The north american edition is NTSC and the DVD playback
manual says it will only plan Zone 1 DVDs. I suspect when
they are released overseas, the spec will change...

I have tried Region 2 DVDs in a US version of the XBOX, works just fine....
output is NTSC only.

This is great news for me as I was in the market to buy a region free DVD
player ($300-$500)....

Huh? What are you talking about? Japan is R2 NTSC. UK is R2 PAL. Both
the same region but different format! Hong Kong is R3 NTSC, US and
CANADA are R1 NTSC.
