It's the territory type. Europe and Japan can only play PAL discs... while, North America uses NTSC. I think it might have something to do with the electronic frequency... or something like that. Hey, now you know.

So, when you get a console modded, you allow that console to play discs from both regions. That's why you could easily play a Super Famicom game on an American SNES, but not Discs. Whenever you buy a game, look for the NTSC marking, it's always on the box and the disc. For the other regions, it's PAL.

Not to make it too obvious, PAL box means an Xbox in a region other than North America.
