I have an european PAL system and live in Brazil, so it is also very hard for me to get a game, since all we have here are american imports. A friend of mine, which also has an european Xbox 360 has bought GOW2 and it worked just fine. I've heard that Microsoft Game Studios games do not have region block. Does someone else have tested other games?

This would be a great place to post it, since I always enter game stores and cannot buy anythinh afraid i will throw 100U$ away. (Yes, that's how much a new game costs here at current exchange rates)
