I have finally succombed to the temptation of pre ordering off dvdboxoffice and will place my order for the xbox very soon, but there is one thing i need to know first.

I will be using it as a DVD player very often and want to know whether i could buy a DVD from BIg W or something and play it on my imported Xbox or would I have to import that DVD as well so it would be compatible?

Please give me an answer ASAP if u can so I can place my order!

Thanks fellas

Nah but you can play DVDs on a DVD player. Hope this helps.

I'm wondering this too as I'm also getting a US Xbox come the 15th

It would be good if you could use the Australian DVD pack on the US XBox and it'll play R4 movies.

But even if it doesn't, I have a DVD player which I'll use instead

You can search usenet using google to find one. The answer is no, the US Xbox will only play region 1 DVDs.

There's something about newbie's getting flamed that is strangely satisfying.
