Well hopfully you have a PAL 360 because if you don't then your screwed from the get go unless you have modded your system then your good to go. But if you want to get some good import from a good website try this site. I have been going to this site for years on end and they have yet to fail me. www.toysnjoys.com

You can look here to see if any imports are region locked. Unfortunately there's no search function so you'll have to go through all the pages to find whatever games you're looking for. Also be sure you're looking at the right version. http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-00-3-xbox360_compatibility_guide-49-en.html

Japan doesn't use PAL.. If you want to play Japanese games then you have to buy a Japanese 360 because most the games that are exclusive to Japan are region locked. You can import the games from places like playasia and can also get a 360 from them.

your right, either way though you can't just buy the games because of the region lock

If you buy a Japanese xbox you can only play Japanese games and games that are region free. Most of the games are region locked tho.

that would assume that all games are region free, not the case someone already mentioned that playasia.com has the complete list, handy, handy website
