XBox PAL 600 question

MiM

I got an XBox 360 for Christmas. I'm much too old for it really but it's fun.

I've got Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 which is great but I also got Gears of War 1 and 2 but it asks me to switch the settings to PAL 600 and then it's all blurred, so I can't play them.

I think the TV's not up to the job. How do I know which games will be okay on my TV before I buy them?

Was thinking of buying Asda's Deal of the Day, Fable 2.

Pal 600?
I dont think thats right. NTSC 60Hz maybe?
And surely you dont HAVE to change to play do you? Just select to keep PAL 50Hz which should work fine

according to the fable 2 box the console needs to be on 60 hz, ive just tried playing fable 2 with the console on 50hz and it wouldn't play it,

Thanks chaps.

I've found a few discussions on this elsewhere and it appears that some games won't play at all on unless you're on PAL 600.

im not being picky(other people might get confused if they have the same issue) bit its 60Hz,

Thanks DCFC79. I'm sure you're right but on the console itself they refer to it as the PAL 50 or 60 settings (sorry, I said 500 or 600) and while some of the discussion boards I've checked refer ti the Hertz, most talk about the PAL setting.

I maybe wrong but im sure when it says pal 60 it means pal 60 Hz even though on the console it doesnt mention Hz

MiM

Yes, you're right.
