You can make the games region free by patching them with 360 game hack - https://digiex.net/downloads/downlo...remove-region-media-protection-360-games.html
Thanks Insane nutter, hopefully A future dashboard will be able to do region free. Till then ill do it game @ a time, its not that big a deal. its only a jap game or two that I probably can't understand anyhow.
They are some awesome Japanese shoot em ups on the 360, most of them are 95% English anyway which is great, not that you really need to read anything to understand whats going on. It will probably be a feature in the future to boot any games with no modifications needed.
