I'm afraid not, only PAL and NTSC-J (Region Free) work for you.

If you don't own any current gen games at all I've got a list of about 120 here that are worth checking out...

Finally replaced my old 360 and will be getting a Slim. First thing I'll do is download the DLC for Alan Wake. Loved that game.

Well you can get rid of the Welcome channel (the option is just at the end of the channel itself I think), and make sure the Xbox is optimised for your display/TV and audio set up, but apart from that, not much that I can think of.

As for demos, check out Super Meat Boy if you like platformers, and Monday Night Combat for 3rd person shooter DOTA-like game. Pretty much the only two Arcade games I've been really satisfied with.

really? How about Castle Crashers? Shadow Complex? If you dont have them, buy them. And if you weren't satisfied, then there is something wrong with you.

What about Trials HD, Toy Soldiers, MvC 2, Super Street Fighter 2 HD Remix, Geometry Wars, Braid, BF 1943, Pac Man CE DX, Costume Quest, Limbo, etc. etc. etc.?

There's really a ton of amazing games on XBLA. Another reason I love this system.

I can't stand Castle Crashers. I might have liked it at one point, but it's still just an all-too-simplistic flash game at heart.

Shadow Complex and Trials HD though... the most fun I've had on 360. Geo Wars and Pac-Man are awesome too.

Finally got live for Xmas and kinect, but i play halo nonstop, it's my gammmmeee! Haha but anyone here play keflings? That game ===== <3. one thing I hate about the kinect is how much it senses. I have acne, and glasses so it really doesn't do well with facial recognition plus I'm 6'5" and so I have to bend over. (14 years old too!)

not buying it, I'm 5'8 (I'm 14 too) and I'm taller than most of my friends. There's just no way you're already 6'5
