    PAL Original XBox game on NTSC Xbox 360

    You would need to find an NTSC copy of the game. PAL Xbox 360 games will not play on an NTSC console.

    Error on Call of Duty game

    PAL region Xbox 360 games cannot play on a NTSC region Xbox 360 and vice versa. You will need a NTSC copy unfortunately.

    I have a question about playing a US bought game in the UK

    [quote user="Pinbot Fembot"]

    But it's not the TV that is the problem with PAL and NTSC, it's the Xbox. I have a PAL Xbox and it will NOT play most NTSC US games. Some are region free, but definitely not most. Believe me, I've tried. Check play-asia.com to see if your particular NTSC
    game is PAL compatible.

    [/quote]That is not strictly true.

    A 360 is capable of playing PAL and NTSC games and DVDs providing they are region free.

    The issue comes to whether the TV can handle the signals and any decent one of say the last 15 years will be able to.

    PAL and NTSC (no-one seems to remember Secam) might be used to describe regions but they are a separate issue to region locking.

    This is why they have to list NTSC/U and NTSC/J separately on Play-Asia and other sites.

    [/quote]PAL and NTSC are redundant standard definition formats (PAL=625i @ 25FPS / NTSC=525i @ 30FPS). These formats are no longer the standards, but the names of them are still used for the companies to region lock their product
    if they chose.
