Hi, I was just wondering if anyone could help me here. I'm curious to know whether or not an American version of Halo 1 would work on my UK 360 over VGA. The PAL (UK) version of Halo 1 doesn't, as it's locked in at 50 frames per second. However the American version is 60 frames, and should therefore work fine over VGA. Any help would be appreciated.

Just out of reference, I use VGA on my HD LCD because it doesn't have HDMI, and because I'd rather have superior picture quality over a little bit of colour-loss. :)

I ouldn't think the frame would have to deal with if it worked or not. But since it is now downloadable, I would think they changed a few things since it last came to xbox. I would think since the 360 has hi-def cords, you would be able to play it no problem.

I'm guessing JAY132 is referring to the refresh rate compatibility. In the PAL version 50hz is compatible, but 60hz is not. The Xbox 360 VGA cable is going to need that 60hz. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Xbox_games_compatible_wi th_Xbox_360

I'm 99.9% sure it would work.
