Nope, you need PAL Xbox 360 to be able to play games.

If you can get it working than some region free games will play. I had an NTSC xbox that I brought with me to the UK from the states but I couldnt find a power converter for it so I just bought a PAL xbox. About 80% of my games worked on it.

Why did't you just buy UK AC Adapter? or it won't work with NTSC console?

I have the same problem but I bought a 500W converter (stabilizer); however it's very BIG.

Not sure about all EA games, but I bought Nascar 08 in the US and it wouldn't work on my PAL 360.

Yeah I use a converter, drops from 240V to 110V, its not that expensive too, but how do I know if games are region free? because I want to buy them from amazon uk, they are at a good price there. At playasia.com they are around 15pounds more than amazon uk
