I am planning to get a Xbox360 later, however, I am still unsure whether I should get a Falcon chipset model or not.
If I am not studying/working, I would be playing video games for at least 12 hours a day.
I asked some shops around KL, and most consoles now are falcon chipsets. (more expensive If i am not mistaken)

Suggestions?

trust me, unless you compare with old machine, Falcon are actually cheaper than all previous build

at Cloudeu:

price drop for falcon set ?

what im worried about is when jasper is out, then the seller tells you "sorry la kid, falcon sudah habis, now only got japser"

since we're kinda in the topic of australia... i'm having a holiday there and i'm planning to buy some xbox 1/xbox 360 games. but i was wondering will it work with my xbox 360? is it region-locked?

btw, i bought my 360 from GH. and does anyone know whether, splinter cell chaos theory and fable are backwards-compatible.

Hi all,

I just want to ask.Since my current premium 360 will not last long,I'm thinking of an alternative plan.

Let say is my current xbox 360 dies,I can just by buy an xbox 360 arcade and use the exsisting parts from my premium on it right??{such as the 20gb hard drive and my wireless controller}

Isn't that a cheaper alternative??

I'm a student and can't really afford to fork out another rm 1700- rm1800

for an Elite.

Also,can anyone tell me what is the current price for a Xbox 360 arcade??

Thx u all

i just got an xbox halo edition..and i notice that there's an option at the av cable whether to switch to tv or hdtv..i'm using vga box currently..kworld 1440ex..i use the component cable and set it to hdtv and 720p..the picture looks a bit stretch..oh yeah when i set to 1080i..surprisingly that resolution can be supported but not 1080p definitely..my question is which settings is recommended for me to play on my samsung 940bw?

I believe most xbox 360s in KL are unmodded. They will only offer the mod service as a package or after you buy the xbox (means u can bring your own xbox there). It is just a service after all.

Just ask nicely and most likely you'll find unmodded xboxes anywhere. Of course there are recommeded shops here like Gamers hideout at cineleisure, or gamers solution or etc...

It's PAL region and you don't need stepdown because it's using the same voltage as Malaysia.

hi there, just wanna ask a few more questions. Can i find PAL games in Malaysia or not? so far I managed to buy original games here, and all is PAL version. they sell kinda cheap here for all those original game, basically the pre-owned item.

I've read about those 3rod problems, only after I bought the console. duh. if i'm not lucky, what is the soonest time I would encounter the 3rod?
