Finding a list of 360 games that have no region-locking

As some of you know, I'm back in the UK visiting family. I've noticed that Lips is about ten bucks cheaper here than it is back in the US, and as my girlfriend is a huge karaoke nut I thought it'd be nice if I could pick it up for her. However I don't know whether it has region-encoding or not. I sort-of expect that it will have region-locking considering it has so much licensed music on it, but I'm wondering if there's a definitive list on the Intertron somewhere that'll tell me whether or not it's region-free.

Cheers, peeps.

    Play-Asia.com has a comprehensive list:

    Doesn't have the EU version of Lips, though the US version seems to be region free. Weird.

    Nah, don't praise me yet. It doesn't look like anyone has confirmed PAL Lips working on an NTSC system. It works the other way around, but I wouldn't naturally assume the same is true for the EU version.

    Edit: Going through Google, it seems like a lot of pirate sites say the PAL version is region-free, though I don't know if you want to trust them on that.

    Well I've bought it now, so if it doesn't work then I'll just weep openly.
