QUESTION: hi octane'
i purchased a xbox in the us but i moved to south africa. i worked out that pal games dont work on my xbox360. is there any converter i can use plsss i need help

ANSWER: Gday John,

Unfortunately there is no converter.  However there a quite a lot of PAL games that will work on an NTSC Xbox.  The Xbox 360 is fairly much region free but it is up to the game manufactures if they want to make it region free or not.

Please look at this page for more details.

QUESTION: i am also having problems with insertimg a usb into my xbox. when i insert my usb into my xbox and i go to memory settings, it only shows my hardrive pls help

Answer
Gday again John,

Check you USB drive on a Computer and see what it is formatted as.

If it is NTFS (Which I thing XP computers defaults as when you format something) this will not show up/read on you Xbox 360.

You have to format the USB drive as a FAT32 or HFS+.

You might need some software like Partition Magic as on Some drive if you Computer is XP all it will allow you to format it in is NTSC.

Hope this helps.
