How to find out the region of a Xbox360?

Post by Jockel »

Hey guys.
I recently got a Xbox360 from a friend, and he told me that he bought it from someone who claimed that this would be a NTSC-J console.
Is there a way to find out what region this xbox is from?

gotta revive this thread.
so i was told the console was bought in "uuuh china".
that leaves pretty much only a jap or asia console as a possibility.
however, i tried to start raiden fighters aces in it, and the console would tell me that the game is not for my console. but the gamedisc was recognized and even showing "Raiden Fighters Aces" in the dashboard.
would it do that on a complete "wrong" region console?
