Region Locks

[Sisee]

Unsure if there's an actual solid answer to this, and I know I'm not the first for asking. But...
Is there any way, other than hardware chipping, of making region locked games play on consoles out of their assigned territories.

I understand you can"flash" the DVD drive to bypass the copywriting data on official Microsoft manufactured discs to allow you to use backup discs in the machine.

But I want to be able to play imports of games I can't get at home.

If it's impossible, I'll just leave it and move on, but as I'm planning on doing the "flash", I thought I'd look into this as well.

There is no work around for region lock. Its built into the game code, and not the console sadly.

Nope you cannot.

Okay, it was just a query.
Thanks for the definitive "no".
Better to know one way or the other, than spend hours (and discs) on investigating a "possibility" and finding out the expensive way.
