What type of tv will I need to buy to enable me to use my UK 360 in Korea? Will I have to fork out for a HDTV or are there other options. What do you recommend and roughly how much would I have to fork out?

which xbox 360 video cable do you have?

My PAL Gamecube will only play in black and white

yeah, thats why I was asking if I needed a HDTV as that would accept both PAL and NTSC. I know PAL will not work on just a bog standard tv.

I have no idea what video cable I have, whatever came in the box, I have the newer HDMI xbox, but currently connect it up to my old tv with a scart lead.

well the bigger problem you will run into is the region coding for the games. look here to see the compatibility:

http://forum.xbox-sky.com/xbox360_regional_compatibility_guide/

from xbox faq:

"Just like current generation consoles, a console designed for North America (NTSC) won�t work on Europe (PAL) for the simple reason that games are region locked. So if you get an US Xbox 360, you�ll have to purchase NTSC games because those titles sold in Europe won�t work on your North American Xbox 360. "

you can use a PAL to NTSC converter to play the games you already own or buy the VGA xbox 360 video cable to play on a VGA supported monitor or tv.

I would say the biggest problem you have is compatibility of new games bought here in Korea ( unless if they are region free ).

my school are ment to be giving me a tv with my accommodation, i need a spare hard drive for my movies, i was looking at the media player ones, do all korean tvs have a regular scart input at the back of them, and therefore would this work?

Playing a PAL signal to an NTSC only TV will result in black and white. However, many modern TV's will recognize and convert PAL or NTSC.
