Limited Edition Crystal oXbox - Can someone confirm

Post by h8b1llg8ts »

Can someone confirm for me that the LE Crystal Xbox is region free? I recently purchased the NTSC version and have always wanted to try Metal Wolf Chaos and (don't laugh) N.U.D.E.

And I really not a mod guy so I didn't want to go that route.

Basterds ... why would they say that? Do any NTSC version play imports? I also have the Mountain Dew, Halo 1 Green, Halo 2 Blue also ...

I should also say my crystal is the Canadian version ... does that change anything?

Well, my crystal was a PAL version so it may be different. I don't know why they'd make one version region locked and one version region free.

It shouldn't make any difference if you're Canadian, the Xbox will still be an NTSC system.

AAAAAaaaaa .... NNNNNOoooooo!!! Don't call me that, lol. No I was just saying since it was released both at a B&M in Canada and online in the US, I just wanted to see if the Canadian version might make a differance.

This is why I ask also ...

Oh, sorry I didn't mean any offence by it. I don't know why Americans get all their panties in a twist, all the Canadians I've met are lovely people. Americans on the other hand… haven't met a single one that didn't drive me up the wall.

I'm pretty sure there's a region icon on the box saying Region 2, however that might just be for the DVD player. So yeah, sorry I can't be of much help, despite having a crystal xbox. They do look awesome, especially when you rip the metal shielding out and take the shielding off the DVD drive.

Funny thing, I'm first generation American and with my family from Ashbury and Yorkshire. No, it's just I work with some of our colleges in CAN and boy do they hate us Americans.

Did you do that to your xbox? If so can I see some pics?

Sorry I don't have pics that do it justice. I only have an iPhone with a camera to hand right now.

That's funny, british males aged 15-39 are some of the most annoying people on the planet.



No xboxes are region free.

I just have to point out that while I did laugh, it was because you also mentioned the Crystal Xbox which was see through.
