    OK, so I own a TV that supports both NTSC and PAL, and my 360 should theoretically only support PAL.

    But while I was in the US for a trip, I bought a used Assassin's Creed(from Gamestop) and it runs fine on my 360.
    Did GS just put the disc in an NTSC case, or am I officially region-free now?

    Both the US and Japan versions of the game doesn't work on Pal systems. You'll have to wait for the Pal version.

    Most console JRPGs(a hypothesis, not a fact that I know of) aren't region-free. I would assume the reason would be because of translation.
