Xbox 360 games not working!?

So I have an Xbox360 from the US, and I recently purchased some games in Europe. The games are official xbox games, but when I play them in the console, I get an error message saying that I am not in the right region.

I don't want to change the region of my xbox in order to play these games because then I won't be able to play all my other games that I have from the US.

Does anyone know how I'll be able to play games purchased in Europe on my xbox??

    You will only be able to play the European games if they are "Region-Free"..... USA 360s are NTSC systems, and most European games are PAL systems. So the only option would be to purchase a PAL system

    Everyone i know who has an xbox 360 has told me about it breaking at some point. Buy a PS3 instead. Added blu ray player too!

    yea when you play the games you got out of country, you have to switch the region and then when you play your us games switch back. its a pain in the *** but that should work.
