  1. it will have to be free region coded

    it wont work just by changing  your location in your xbox because xbox is region coded to  


  2. if you bought your 360 in Ireland it will be under the PAL system. US consoles and games follow the NTSC system so it won't play on your PAL 360. However, if you bought your 360 from the US it will work but be careful when playing as some people have had electrical surges that will break your 360 even when using a converter.  

  3. Yes it will, you just have to change the settings on it when you make the first account saying you are from Ireland and not from Usa.

  4. the PAL or the NTSC is not a big deal, but the Real problem is the Power Supply from the USA is only 110 Volts, and in Ireland 220 Volts,  so in Ireland the Power Supply will Blow up, so just call the support line and they are going to send you another Power Supply , for free :-D

  5. As long the game is original and so is the 360. If it has mods you won't be able to play online.

  6. Depends on where you got your xbox 360 from;

    There are two main regions in this world, NTSC and PAL. NTSC is used in america and PAL is used in Europe and everywhere else I think. If you have an NTSC xbox, then NTSC games will work, and same goes with PAL. Theres no real way to check if your 360 is NTSC or PAL besides the box on one corner there should be a box that says either.

    Or just where you got it from. Now you can tell if a game is NTSC or PAL from looking at the back there might be something, but the main difference is that NTSC games use ratings that are letters such as E, T, and M, and PAL games use numbers such as 4+,14+, and 17+.

    Hope it helps!

  7. I think so..yes.

  8. its an Xbox 360 they should work in any machine. they should all be compatable.
