No and this includes demo discs from the Official Xbox Magazine. Additional info (thanks to Byron Hinson): Here is the official quote I got on it the other day from Microsoft. “The North American box will only play North American games. The regional encoding is set when it passes through certification and in to the authorized replicators. North American Xbox systems will only play NTSC games, Japanese boxes will play NTSC-J games and Europe and the rest of the PAL territories will only play games marked with the PAL symbol.”
