How to Play NTSC Games on the PAL Xbox 360
Though the Microsoft Xbox 360 console is not region-locked, many game developers opt to include region coding within the games themselves, which renders games playable only on Xbox 360 consoles with the same country of origin. Fortunately, a handful of games have been released that lack any region-specific coding and can be played on any Xbox 360. There is currently no legal way to enable every game from all regions to be played on a single Xbox 360.

This article is completely useless. I have a ntsc game that won't play on a PAL console. In terms of how to solve this problem, I clearly have to go elsewhere. What is the POINT of this article?
