Will my US XBox work in the UK (I'm concerned with hooking it the TV, not the voltage conversion)?

Question

I'm moving to the UK and wondering if my Xbox purchased in the US will be playable in the UK. I can get a voltage converter easy enough - though recommendations would be welcome - but I'm wondering about the NTSC/PAL switchover. Will my Xbox work with the PAL TVs over there, even though I bought it here (where we use NTSC). Thanks!

Answer 1

NTSC devices do not run on PAL sets.  It's a different frame rate, line count, all of that.  So, that won't work.

However, if you have the NTSC XBox and you also have an NTSC TV, both on voltage conversion, there's a good chance you can get things to work out for you.
