Did anyone recently surveyed about new xbox 360?
While I'm looking for an original asian set of xbox 360, I found most of the game shop do not have stock or only modded machines while who have stock will try to sell it in a higher price. Anyone have any clue why there's a shortage of original xbox 360? |

......So i'm considered lucky the time I had my precious original xbox360...
If brought from GH, I'd prefer to drive myself to SG. I don't mind if they wanna charge some less than RM20 of tax... But I do mind the hassle to go to SG.....  |

I think the term is "IT gadget is exempted from tax".
Anyway I'm still charged for tax. but that's when I do postage. I'm wondering if I buy a Singapore set, will it be cheaper than the retail price as I should not be taxed? LOL |

QUOTE(gundamalpha @ May 5 2009, 11:45 AM) You guys are lucky, at least you could get unmodded sets once in a while locally. I carried mine all the way from HK last time Tech2 do have them previously. But they told me that for unknown reason, currently most of the stock in MY is modded. But I thought Tech2 normally have unmodded sets readily in stock?

QUOTE(cannavaro @ May 6 2009, 11:41 PM) AFAIK that is not the case. PC items are exempted from tax. Someone in the Mobile Computing section bought a RM15k Alienware laptop from the UK (online ordering) and as expected it was tax free. Hm.Here's the thread: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=824011&hl= GUess I'd better try myself then listen to others. ha ha ha. Will go to SG for shopping anyway. let's see if XBOX are exempted or ignored by custom. |
