will NTSC-J Games work??

not unless it's specified as region free.
NTSC-J is just the japanese version of a game, and japan happens to share the same video standard as the U.S.

IF there's an American version of the game to begin with.

i should've made it into seperate sentences. the "ntsc" part is a video standard shared in many regions and countries (japan and u.s. included). the "-j" part just means that it's the japanese (in this case) version. to say something is "ntsc-j" means you CAN play the game on u.s. television sets, but because of region lockouts, ONLY on a japanese 360
 
There is no region free Japanese games. Sometimes the Asian version might be but not the Japanese version.
 
I noticed that you could buy NTSC-J, Asian, and rebadged NTSC (US) 360 games in Singapore, all at relatively similar price points. I hesitated to buy any of them because of my US 360. I'm tempted to buy an Asian 360 so I don't have to deal with territory lockout.

Do it! MS is basically encouraging people to with the cheaper Asian versions of Western games plus the Japan exclusive games you're locked out of if you have a U.S. 360. Seriously MS couldn't have handled this worse. I bought my Japanese 360 for two reasons: 1.I'm sick of MS thinking because I'm an American 360 owner that I fervently worship or masturbate to Halo or any FPS and shrug off any RPG or most Japanese developed games. 2.As stated above, why bother buying an American 360 when I can get all the Western games I AM interested in cheaper under the Asian versions, region locked or not?
Shit "Bullet Witch" so far is the ONLY American version of a 360 game translated to English that doesn't have an Asian counterpart. "Culdcept Saga" might be the only other one and was that delayed?
edit: 62t I thought ONE was not region free but worked in the U.S. I can't seem to find it right now thouh.

The only thing holding me back are the Insane prices over there. The 360 has quite the markup. As such, I can't bring myself to bite that bullet knowing how failure prone the 360 hardware is.

Here's another one, give me a full, real game besides "Lumines" and "Puzzle Quest" on XBLA. Oh and SOTN. I would love to get a Watanabe game like "Cave Story" for instance. Or one of Nihon Falcom's remakes of Y's, maybe bundle Y's 1 and 2 up on XBLA. Here's another one, how about Cadash?
