Here's the deal:

I can get an Xbox 360 Elite for only £150, which is around rm 850. It's brand new, and sealed, and the Jasper set. But I don't know if it's a good decision, considering that I'll be purchasing it to play only ORI games. I wanna play on XBOX Live. I heard the region lock issues are a lot more restrictive than PS3, both on the DVD locking and the Xbox Live regional locking.

I need advise on this, on the pros and cons of getting one from the UK, and if I should ultimately get it?

1)Will I have issues for XBOX LIVE?

2)Will I have issues playing games

3) Will I have issues finding UK/EUrope region games here in Malaysia?

4) If answer to 1-3 is YES, then would it be worth just modding it and using it as offline play machine?

Thanks all

i) np
ii)u can only play pal games or those region free games
iii) just order games from amazon or play-asia~
iv) mod?

IMHO, I think you should just get a local xbox, instead of a UK one. Main reason is you have problem getting games. You might not, but you may need to pay a premium for PAL games. Plus most people in Malaysia or Singapore have NTSC games, so that makes getting 2nd games or exchanging so much easier.

Unless you got friends or relatives in UK or Australia, who can send you games in bulk occationally.

hmm.. okay, so it's going to be a definite issue then. i'll have a think about it.

thanks all!

(also, further advise welcomed)

Don't invest on that, you can't get PAL games easily over here, the nearest PAL region is at australia.

and DO NOT EVER mod your console to enjoy the most out of the system.

yup, i'm having trouble finding games right now..the best ways to get games are either thru ebay.co.uk or play-asia with game that has no region lock.

Lol... people said for offline only. Does it really bothers you that much if people mod their OWN machine?? Why do you have to preach your "NO MOD" to everyone??

haha understand u upset cos ur modded set got banned....but he not referring you and dont try look for fight la

What is your problem? I've stated very clearly do not mod for best xbox experience and no other hidden meaning.

Which part of that phrase hurt your puny pride?
