    Currently all HD-DVDs are region free, so shouldn't be a problem playing them, and the HD-DVD player takes its region coding from the 360 itself, so it will play R2 DVDs but not R1.
    There are some great deals in the States for it (e.g. S1 of Heroes free+ 2 others) but the only downside I can see would be trying to get the 5 free HD-DVDs shipped to an Irish address.

    Yes,

    Certain games are region free while some are not.

    This is not affected by what Resolution you have your 360 set at.

    Try the link below for what games are Region Free, there are better lists that are more complete if you google
