doesnt matter, if you have widescreen HDTV you should be able to play in pal or ntsc... BUT what does matter, is that your XBOX 360 can play european games, which it cannot if you bought it in the states

So, what you are saying is that our US HDTV's are compatible with PAL 360, or PS2 consoles. However, we would be unable to play a PAL game in our US based consoles. So, the problem here is not the HDTV, but the console itself.

Is my understanding of this correct?

The console itself is region free, meaning it can play every game. The games themselves however are not region free and it is up to the developer to set them to region free or to region lock them. Konami and EA already have a known history of region locking their games on the 360 meaning they can only play on either PAL, NTSC-U, or NTSC-J(or whatever the developer locks it to).
