PAL Xbox 360 - waste of time?

[Spyke]

Hi,

In the UK, GAME stores are selling off Xbox 360 consoles of various types for good sale prices. Eg, I looked at a 60Gb preowned 360 with controller and cables for £70. I haven't bought yet as I don't know what PAL game support is like for shmups. I couldn't actually find any shmups on the shelves in the store! If I knew for sure that RFA was coming out in PAL format I might consider buying the console in readyness just for that game, but being a bit in the dark...

I don't know. Is it worth getting one of these cut-price Xbox 360's in PAL format? From what I've read, getting a Jap one up and run ning seems a bit tedious for me, when the Xbox wouldn't be my first console of choice...

I have a PAL one and it's just fine.

There is Deathsmiles and Dodonpachi Resurrection (Daifukkatsu) released for PAL and it can only play the region free games such as Much Muchi Pork!/Pink Sweets, Mushihimesama Futari, Espgaluda 2
