Hi.

I want a Xbox 360, but i don't understand everything about it.

If I have a PAL Xbox 360, will it be able to play import games in NTSC format?

I have also heard that you'll need a special burner to burn the backups, will it work with a ''Nec DVD recorder ND-3520A IDE Dual Layer'' ?

I have also heard that you can't mod a 360 with Phillips DVD-Drive. Is that true?, If so is it any way to secure that you get a drive that can be modified?

I have heard that the 360 does not have a dashboard like Evolution X, that the original Xbox had. Is this true? Can it have XBMC?, if not, will theese applications ever come to the 360?

The original Xbox could change HDD, but what about the 360? Can you put a ''non microsoft'' HDD in the 360 and make it work?

It's many questions, but if someone has the time please answer them or send a link to a faq where these questions are answered. Peace out!

You'll only be able to play NTSC/U games if they are region free. http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-00-3-xbox3...uide-49-en.html

NEC burners seem to be hit or miss. Pioneer is a sure bet. Lite-on, Sony and a couple of others I can't remember have worked well for most too.

You don't have to worry about a Philip drive since they were only in pre-release 360s like beta-kits. They have never been on a retail shelf.

No hack other than the firmware exists. Sorry. It would be cool if that wasn't the case.

You can't really change the HDD. You can stream movies and music from an outside HDD, but you can't use it for game saves.
