Hey everyone - I'm moving from North America (Canada) to the UK in about two months.

Just wondering if its even possible for me to head over with my 360 or not - are the games there region coded differently than what I'd find here?

Thanks guys.

Welcome!
Yes.
The UK gets PAL versions. I don't know about our colonies, but I think the US have NTSC versions.
We also have 240 volts @ 50Hz. Again, I know not aboot Canada, but think the States have 110V @ 60Hz. You can get step-up transformers to use 110v goods over here though.

If you're thinking of staying, I'd suggest you get a cheap UK xbox  - you may be able to connect the Canadian 360 to it's PSU to play the games you bring with you.

Hope this helps!

yes , you'll either have to sell this Xbox 360 and buy a new one or change your region code to PAL manually (which is pretty hard)  .
