    Muhahahah

    google my son

    most dvds play any region, you just need to (Normally) enter a code thru the standard remote or buy one of em magic one for all things,

    im sure the xbox is capable ;)

    I myself use the Matrix modchip which requires no soldering and does the job well. It allows you to play multi-region DVD's and also turns off the Macrovision software. I was forced to use this chip as the X-Box wouldn't allow me to play the some DVD's as I have a TV/VCR combo and the macrovision screwed the playback.

    You will have to get your xbox modded and then get the evolution dashboard installed and then dvd region free dongle which also cuts out the need for a remote control....if u want further help check out my site in my signature

    Just be aware that if and when XBox Live ever launches, your modded Xbox will not get in on the action.

    I also happened to read in ie.comp that they're soon to start testing for Live here.

    Not exactly true m8!
    Fitting a switch to executor 2 will enable you to play xbox live as it will still boot from original msdash.xbe, although if you have upgraded your hard drive then you will not be able to play live....

    Shinzon, check the back of the DVD boxes on some of the DVD's that aren't working properly. If it says Macrovision anywhere on it then the chip will fix it. More than likely that is the problem because I used to have screwed up images on some macrovision DVDs, e.g The Matrix but when I got the chip it played perfectly.
