Hi guys, quick question here.

Will NTSC Xbox 360 controllers work on a PAL Xbox 360? I'm asking 'cause I'm REALLY WANTING ROCK BAND and it turns out so much cheaper to import the instruments from America, then the game on its own from Europe (I have a PAL 360, see). I've heard a few little tidbits of information about whether they work or not, and googling didn't turn up many results, so my last shot is you guys. You're probably better at googling than I am, or hell, some of you might already know, so. So basically if I import the Rock Band instruments from America then get a PAL version of the game will it work?

Thanks guys!

Yep, they work. My brother bought a controller in the states because it was cheaper as well. I don't know if the actual instruments work, but the controller themselves do.
Ock ock, Ack ack!
Beware of the cursed monkey spit!

As far as I know, PAL/NTSC is just a picture display method dealing with what tv's can display what, and it shouldn't affect hardware for any reason.

Aten is right I got a Xbox 360 recently and the PAL/NTSC thing is just TV display crap, nothing to really worry about they will work, unless their faulty of course.

My XBox360 is actually imported from EBay while I play Rockband using the instruments I picked up here in Canada, you'll be perfectly fine.

360 Controller uses USB, so it will work regardless of the voltage of its power input or the format of its video output.

Wouldn't it cost a shit load to import the insyrument pack? I hear it weighs several tons.
