XBOX 360 queries.

[knuckles-chaotix]

Gday all im wanting to know if i was to purchase a xbox360 from overseas, (im in Australia) if it would still allow me to get online?
Or are they going to be region blocked for internet use like some imported pc games?

I know games wont work from pal to ntsc etc . Just online stuff..

And also like many consoles NTSC being allot faster and larger full screen pictures..
Does this also apply to the 360?

Any help would be great!
Thanks in advance.

Quick answer to your last question: 60Hz should be selectable in the dash like the xbox, so no worries about pal borders and slowness.

Thing is, with 60hz being only an option could we still get stung with some 50hz crap conversions?! (Which we shouldn't but you never know - looking at you EA! )
