European PAL Support

Just tried out and watching my audio and video reference dvd "Gladiator" and I did not experience any upscaling or other issues. The last time, I tested this on my now retired PS3 and I cannot see any quality loss.

Hi I believe you might never get a satisfying answer here cause everyone experiences the video quality differently.

One of my most important requirements on a multimeda machine is the silence of the box and I am very pleased about that on my Xbox One. I had a 1st gen Xbox 360 which was loud and it had annoying noises cause of the two interferring fans. I then had a PS3
fat which was way too loud to watch DVD or bluray on it. I still have a Xbox 360 E (last revision) which is far more silent that my PS3 but my X1 is nothing compared to them. You can hear it - yes - but due to its big fan and low rotation speeds it never gets
annoying even after 5 hours of exteme "Titanfalling"

So skim through the forums and include this in your consideration to buy a new box. I don't want to make a PS4 bad - but I heared that is gets pretty loud when playing certain games and sometimes annoying loud when watching films.

Hi there,

As far as I'm aware, it shouldn't make any difference. Consoles for Poland are PAL, the same as the UK, Germany and other European Xbox supported countries. I can't see how there would be a problem. The only difference with a particular European console
would be the type of plug on the PSU. The warranty should be supported regardless of what European Xbox region you reside.

The European repair centre will only have refurbished PAL consoles i would think so chances are that's why it says you'd get a European region console back.

I don't know how it is in the US but I can play NTSC games on my german PAL console. You just need a TV that can show both frequencies ! PAL games are a bit slower than NTSC games.

You've not been keeping up with technology. For Xbox One and Series X/S there are no PAL and NTSC formats. There no longer any PAL and NTSC frequencies either, certainly not over HDMI.
Also the Xbox One and the Series X/S are region free in terms of disc games.

PAL and NTSC are old analogue formats from the standard definition era. They no longer exist in the digital era.

Yes, back in day, NTSC was 60Hz and PAL was 50Hz, at least that was until the early late 90's and early 00's when European TV's adopted the 'PAL 60' format. Before PAL 60, all European games consoles going back to the earliest machines like the Atari 2600
ran games slower than their U.S counterparts. That's not the case anymore. European consoles have been able to play 60Hz (and hence 60fps) games since the Xbox 360/PS3 days.

European TV broadcasts are still at 50Hz, but this has nothing to do with PAL anymore.
