It'll run at what your 360 is set to in the settings.

hiya Krooner , that option would be in the Console Settings/Display area i think correct me if im wrong.

Do you have a PAL 360 and have confirmed it this way or you have a different source for the info given ?

I just dont want to get a PAL 360 and not be able to use 60 Hz , i want to be confident before i buy one or more.

hi again , i checked out a couple of Youtube Videos and it seems it is possible to select PAL/50 or PAL/60.

I got this off of wikipedia.......

Advanced SCART Cable
---------------------------
Sold only in Europe. This cable carries standard definition video at 480i/60Hz or 576i/50Hz [a] using the European RGB SCART standard, as well as stereo audio (integrated into the SCART connector). It also has a TOSLINK optical S/PDIF connector integrated into the connector (console side) which offers stereo LPCM, Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Digital with WMA Pro audio. It offers improved clarity over composite and s-video connections.



I spose im set to go , if anyone wants to confirm on top of that it would be appreciated.

PAL 360's can run at 50HZ or 60HZ (PAL60), for most games today they require you to be in PAL60 mode (ie if your TV doesn't support 60hz, you cant play the game).

So if your running a game that will let you run at 50hz, it will run at 60hz if you have it enabled in the options, however as most titles run at 60HZ, and its a better image, just leave your console on PAL60 and you will never have any issues.
