help with xbox 360

[genecyst]

hi guys, it's time for me to complete my console collection with an xbox 360... better late than never...
the fact is that i'm getting lost between the various xbox releases, and i've not properly clear in mind how xbla works...
i can't understand how can i play jap game on a pal system, need to modify? need swap? better buy a jap console?
can i download japanese live arcade releases even on a pal system or are them ntsc exclusive?
someone got some links to clear me out these doubts?
thanks a lot!

To play jap. 360-games on a pal 360, you need to mod / jtag the console, but that voids the guarantee. Otherwise you need a jap. 360 to play jap. 360-games (as long as they're not regionfree like MSFutari or ESPgaluda2).

If i recall right you can play jap. xbla-titles on a pal console, but you have buy them with a valid jap. live-account and pay it with jap. mspoints. You also have to buy it at the online marketplace and queue it, because you can't acces the jap. marketplace with a pal 360.

Let us know what you would like to play and we can let you know what your going to need to get.

interesting titles:
the two mentioned before espgaluda 2 and mushihimesama and the rest of the stuff from cave.
bangai-o missile fury and the redux of radiant silvergun.
rez, senka no ronde duo and various indie creations... these are the main titles i'm interested in.

i hope in a porting of muchi muchi pork so much too...

Be sure to d/l the Xbox Live indie game of "Prismatic Solid"...shows off what the 360 can do in the hands of a talented & professional video game developer (one man team). You'll see some striking similarities between it & the earlier PSX import title of "iS: internal section." Sure, it'd be even cooler if it had an attract screen for that perfect arcade coin-op draw-in factor. Presented in 720p widescreen format running at a super silky-smooth arcade-spec 60fps framerate. Can't get any better than that.
