there are many pal releases rather than ntsc ones. perfect games like fnr3, pfd-zero, pgr3, most wanted region locked. since there is no reason to get those, does anybody know ntsc releases will be more soon or later?

Hmmm i have not got an XBOX 360 and dont intend to until a game or 2 worth playing is released..

However with the new firmware hack does it not make the 360 able to play region freegames?

after all every single chip/hack available on the ps1/ps2/xbox has enabled me to play NTSC games on my pal consoles.. ive never even bothered to see if a new release is ntsc or pal

I have a PAL 360 and Im pissed off with these NTSC region locked games lol. As far as I know there is no firmware that allows you to play region free games. Sad

The firmware hacks DOES NOT remove regionencoding.

So if you are in PAL area you must use PAL releases or region free releases.

However a lot of games works on both pal and ntsc consoles luckily enough... Smile

More PAL releases than NTSC ones? I think you must be looking in the wrong place, as far as I can tell almost every game is out there for both regions if you look properly, I don't see what the big deal is. The only games lacking are the Asian ones, but that's only because none of us have the means to play them, let alone understand them.

If you're asking which games get released first, its usually the NTSC ones. Some PAL games don't come out here until at least a month later than in the US, and the ones right now are probably just having a massive 'catch up' period, which might explain why you think there are more?

Either way us Europeans are the unlucky ones most the time... Dead Rising is released in half a week and I hear its region locked to American consoles.
