The big problem with A2 right now is that the multiplayer is region locked for some insane technical reason (apparently the co-op moves are fucked up if one of the players has just the slightest bit of lag). I heard they were looking into a work-around, but for now you have to assume that you wouldn't be able to play co-op with eg. Nick or Larry, only me ;) Yeah I think it’s region locked, but it plays my Mass Effect copy from Singapore without incident and it often plays DVD’s that our HDD recorder doesn’t.

How is the DVD playing capability of the XBox? Is it region-free? I'd expect not :( Interesting, especially with the XBox down to 200 euros. How is the DVD playing capability of the XBox?
