Technical Details:

*** Please Note ***
Just to advise, as with some games, especially from Japan, DOA 4 only supports 60Hz, whilst the default setting for the Xbox 360 is 50Hz. This means that the game can’t be played on Xbox 360, unless it is set at PAL 60, instead of PAL 50.

This will not affect gameplay at all. On std TV’s, consumers will have to change their Xbox 360 set-up before the game will load. There is no need to change set up on HDTV’s or those using the VGA cable to connect to a monitor.

The packaging for the game has a ‘60Hz only’ logo on the front and a warning on the back. As well as this, there is a flyer inside the box explaining the simple process of setting your Xbox 360 to PAL 60.

Q: How should users go about rectifying this problem?
A: To change the refresh rate for a PAL 360 connected to a standard TV, the user has to start the Dashboard, go to the System blade, select Display, and choose 60Hz under the PAL Settings option. This simple process will only take a couple of minutes before they are enjoying the thrilling DOA4 experience.
