Re: I may be Getting an Xbox
 

AFAIK, Datel never actually released the "DVD Region X" disc for the XBox, despite it being listed on various websites for ages (with the release date always changing & getting later & later...)

M$ would not provide Datel with the "key" to sign it, as M$ didn't want anything released which would enable the XBox to be "de-regionalised". Consequently, the only way to run Datel's DVD Region X would have been to use it on a modded XBox (as un-modded XBoxes will not run unsigned code)...but that would be pointless, as modded XBoxes are region free anyway, hence Datel never released it.

There is a "DVDX" (?) for the XBox, but it's simply a region free DVD player for running only on modded boxes.

I have a large number of region 1/3 discs so this would be a factor.

Wouldn't chipped Xbox's run other region DVD's anyway!

The problem I have with this is that I don't want to void my warranty by chipping the machine immidiately aftery buying it.

Re: I may be Getting an Xbox
 

There are some places which sell pre-modded XBoxes, with their own 90 day warranty (in place of the M$ 1year warranty).

OK, not a full year, but not too bad. I got one last year, & haven't had any problems.
