Cool, I've been meaning to finish this. Unfortunately I started playing it when I had gastric flu, and now every time I see a screen shot of it, I want to clutch my stomach and vomit out of my nose. Just thought I'd share that little nugget.

Mass Effect PAL and Just Cause 2 PAL both work on a japanese console.

I also added this thread to the Board FAQ so hopefully more people find it and use it.

Not much to add, besides this:

I haven't been able to test personally, but Eternal Sonata (US) does not work on NTSC J nor PAL, once again according to Play-Asia.

[nZero]

Confirmed that Rumble Roses XX NTSC-U works on J-360

[dcharlie]

Though of course only two or three NTSC-J games work in the NTSC-U :/

The US version of Final Fantasy XIII won't work with JP consoles, for obvious reasons.

[Joe T.]

My US Sega Rally Revo works on my NTSC-J 360.

Also, I've been told that NTSC-U Bayonetta will work on NTSC-J systems but I know that the Japanese version is region locked. Perhaps someone can clarify as I'd like to have a copy I can use on both of my 360's.

The Asian version is region free.

PA sez the US version works on a Japanese console. The PAL version is region free, and the Asian one is too.

[Joe T.]

Ah cool, thanks guys.

[Cthulhu]

I have read in several places that Alan Wake (US version) works in Japanese consoles. I will confirm this personally as soon as possible. If this turns out to be wrong I'll cry over my lost $60.
