Hey guys,

Today i went to Tech 2 at SG Wang to check on the price of Xbox slim, the staff(a Chinese lady) said that the stock will be arrive in July and the xbox slim has no modded console. Is that true?

Due to the unavailability of modded console, the price of previous version xbox (modded) will increase. The lady said they r going to increase the price in July. Is that also true ??

i never understand y people spend nearly rm1.5k on a console that can't play online. using a laptop paradigm, would u buy a laptop that can't connect to internet for 1.5k?

WAT!!! u sure?

+1

well..probably what they want is just to kill time or play after work for half and hour and that's all..working life and school life is diff ok...

not everybody here is aged below 15 or hardcore gamers who got nothing to do but to indulge and demand the most impressive gming experience.

laptop on the other hand is an important everyday tools, and comparing lappie to a game console is total nuts...its diff category of goods...needs and wants...

+1

ur siggy of:
PC: i work on this damn thing, not play games

already explains that lappie shouln't be compared to game consoles...

i gave a laptop analogy coz everybody can relate to a laptop. i am not comparing them in terms of gaming.

to elaborate, say u don't use internet, would u still buy a laptop for 1.5k that has not internet capability? what if i want to use it one day when i am finally ready to go on the internet? do i have to spend another 1.5k for that? (if my laptop is an xbox i would be doing that, that is)

oic..ok..now i understand ur point of comparison... earlier i tot tat u're comparing gaming experience...

cos if comparing gaming experience, not all wants to have the best in the industry..most just want to have pure simple fun (kinda explains y sales of Wii is off the roof)
well, this category of consumers include myself..

Maybe some people just don't care **** about playing online.

+2

yea maybe. i understand some dont' care. but i don't understand why they don't care. maybe coz they haven't tried. but i don't understand why they don't care to try. maybe they just like old school gaming. but i don't understand why they don't venture out to new school

if you really have to know, its because they have both modded xbox360 and ps3 so if they want to go online they'll use ps3 (free online gaming as well)

haha u will never understand that.
I spend not just spend RM1.3K for a dumb xbox360 and also a 6.5K plasma to pare with it LOl , i was dumb, i guess.
not everyone would spend hours everyday for online gaming

hmm well u can say it this way, if u have not tested that drug(whatever it is) u wont get addicted to it. all my friends after coming my house for playing online, they all bought a unit & join in online. so for those that had not tested the drug b4 they would just follow back the ps1-ps2 days.

more easy way of saying, if u have never fcuk some 1 b4 u would never know how it felt to fcuk some 1, or let it be the other way =P

I always wonder why modded 360 is allowed to be discussed. It's only about piracy. You don't need a modded 360 for you not to online, you can play offline with virgin 360 no problem at all.

yeah, i know one fella using xbl only to download crappy DLC... people like this do exist...

That fella must be living with dinosaurs

Well, I can tell that you have such a deep feeling about xbox, like a sex partner

anyway, Im a casual gamer. I would go out and fcuk someone rather than addict to my xbox

for what reason tech2 will increase the price? his total cost per console remain as before...hmmm he might get huge profit for those jack sparrow supporters...and create this gimmick " when xbox360 slim release , the previous console would getting increase in term of pricing"..the previous model should be more cheaper and cheaper , cause its not in production anymore

the main reason is
slim not yet can be modded
see.."NOT YET CAN BE MOD"
lol

Ya same here, i guess it's because the xbox forums aren't really moderated.

+ my xbox 360 is full of crappy dlc but i do not live with dinosaurs.

haha.. ala..human creation still having a weakness.. so maybe about 1 year the xbox360 slim already been hacked.. so no wonder la.. btw who said pc games much better than games consoles? I bought xbox360 because I'm tired the very slow production and dying pc games..

Xbox is microsoft gold pot, why them spend such a large project on pc ?

anyway, from some local reliable source, PS3 also will be modded, around this 1-2 year (dont burn me if slowpoke )

ps3modded would not be practical though

1 ps3 game contains at least around 20gb of data

you wna take ur time to download 20gb of data just for 1 game?

i mean modded console and game.
(pls dont ban my acc, just delete this if offended )

dude , ps3 already almost how many years already , ever heard of ps3 modchip or being modded ?

a lot of games released on both xbot and ps3, they fits nicely into a normal DVD for the xbot...

im never heard of ps3 modchip or being modded now and before ONLY

you got source for this news?..but i agree lah..sooner or later

please don't agree. its been 4 years the ps3 and still no crack. has any console in history take >4 years to crack. so u really thing it will be sooner or later? even if crack, there is 2 types - crack and practical, and crack and not practical. u think after 4 year it has not been cracked, it will finally be crack and practical?

xbox modded is just good for one thing - pirate games. and d price to pay for it is no online play. that is a lousy tradeoff. even if u don't intend to play online now, u will want to in d future. single player game usually i sell it after finish "conquering" it. but multiplayer i keep it practically forever coz u never get bored with it.

George Hotz (that dude who jailbreaked iPhone..but I don really remember his name, hope I'm correct) Announced earlier this year said he can now manupulate the PS3's hypervisor with much more privilage than XBOX's JTAG MOD. That why Sony disabled the "Install Other OS" feature.

If its true..Ill sell my Xenon console and get the Slim..woot

Only logic why they will increase old Xbox 360 modded is maybe because MS will not continue production of it.

and that the new one cant play cheap game

your xenon still alive? wow thats great

Added on July 2, 2010, 8:47 pmif the price increase , is it more expensive then xbox360 slim ? hahahah , in this case better get the slim

Not true. I never get bored with my offline games. RPGs rulez. And i never get bored with Burnout Paradise Ultimate.

Well, different people have different preferences.

I have an unmodded box, i am subscribing gold membership, i bought tons of games, but i don't go online mp, i hardly download DLC, AND i am still happy. Some people might think it's stupid and a waste of money, but still, i am happy and not bored.

I bought it in 2007. Then it kena 3ROD a year later..Fortunately I was able to exchange it since got warranty(Thats why I bought ori). So its a 2 year old refurbished console that still works like a charm..

So if the old consoles price increase,I think should just sell it off and get a Slim..

i suggest you got out now and make more babies so the internet is populated with more people like you. do it for a better world!

What's the point?

(WTS)
XBOX360 fat rm 1999

reason:want to buy 2 xbox slim podewin

/betterrunfarfaraway

what teh .........
why so expensive?

You need to install joke detector before read this...

wakakakakaka

yeah as like navigator says, i dont get it, whats wrong with that?

if you own a Skyline R34 it is not neccesary to go high rev everytime when you see a mamak nearby. (im sure u have heard plenty of those cars, they knew there was a mamak there they did it for attention, let it be from proton saga to r34)

I think the original intention of the quote is that we need more people like zhiyung who own an unmodded consoles and buys original games and irn order to do that he should go make babies with the same mindset.

if that is the case, then i guess most would have prefer ps 3...i mean, lets b honest, MOST people choose xbox because the game's cheap..

Not for people who reading this post right now..... we choose xbox360 for the game library~~~~~~

It's unfair to judge the console that way~~~~~~

and most of the forumer here doing the exact same thing as zhiyung, so should we go out and make more babies? nope?

yeah..kinda true too..in this forum people tend to go for ori...just for comparison,most of the people that i know of personally are going for the cheap game lah..

hei guys, i have a question to ask ,
if you guys dont play your xbox 360 , do you leave the power switch on , i mean without turning the xbox console on .

will it spoil ? im too lazy to go to the back of the tv and switch the power on before playing xbox 360 .

Leave it on will not harm the console unless you get a power grid overload......

But the consumption is around 2W for existing fat console to standby and the slim is 0.2W for nothing..... Please consider not to waste that kinda power.... unless you want to download stuff or something that actually need the console to be on. You can afford the bill, but a lot of ppl doing so will give a very heavy load to the power plant.

2w is per hour ?
1kwh is RM 0.286
1kwh = 1000w

so means if on 500 hours will charge RM0.286 ?

am i correct ?

Yea, it's close to nothing. I leave it on all the time, 24/7.

If u wannna leave it on,at least u dwl something at the same time..Dont waste the money

I'd buy a 360 for Gears. Not for the price point. BUt til now I don't have enough to get me one.

I'll give the Slim a while then only gather more money for it.

That's why I told you don't count it that way on my previous post~~~~ Think of a bigger picture~!

any chance x360s come with games bundle.. coming out this year?

is this a sales thread or wat ? i'm confused.

I hope they will not release the hack/moded one on slim.
so i can sell my fat for much much higher price
and buy 2x slim one... (and my previous post was not a joke,that's my dream)
gonna buy slim next year on GOW3 release
hope they got bunble for it...
Evil laugh:muahahahahaha

/hidebehindprivatejohn

hope there will be no way to mod those 360 slim...

Isn't that hypocrisy?

Aiyo, people want to sell his modded xbot360 and get unmodded xbot360 and support original all the way mah . Why you so bad and quote ppl sale thread lol. Oh wait, I think his ex ex xbot360 also modded. Ouch, Ahhh nevermind. One thing I noticed, ppl spamming the whole console couch not to discuss games but promoting their so call the best online gameshop everywhere and mod didn't delete.........I guess this comment will delete very soon

May be want to start selling slim box fast fast to raise the price of his collectible modded fat box

Good business mind

ok boss lets have some teh tarik
