I think I read somewhere that XBox has no lockout chip but developers put in code to determine whether their game will play on US or JP systems. Except the problem is I believe most (if not all) developers are putting in region settings :(

So far, every single game released has been region coded... I'm not really keeping my hopes up for that changing.. but maybe it will.

Well, if the region lockout is on a game by game basis, I wonder if that will be more or less of a challenge for the crackers out there? It would be nifty if you could just copy a fix into the part of your HDD that game uses as swap space, and be good to go...
