Planning buy a Xbox360 Slim + Kinect combo soon, I know console work different from PC so i need some answer confirmed.

1. A moded console cant go online eventhough you are playing original games (get ban) correct?

2. What is our region for console? is it NTSC/J ? So before i buy i must make sure is NTSC/J?

3. If the 1st hand player used the code/CD-Key for that game and then sell it as 2nd hand, does it effect in me in anyway? (eg:ban, or maybe cannot play that games?)

4. Is 4GB version enough? I know that if for PC 4gb for save game are more than enough, but what about console? if i buy 4GB now and then upgrade to 250GB is it possible? and how? can I upgrade it my self or do i need send to shop?

5.Does Guitar Hero's Guitar and drum work with Rock Band?

6. Is it wise to mix PC's GFWL with Xbox360 account? ada side effect? I have to admit that not all GFWL are ori, but mostly is ori.....

7. This question may be tricky abit, I using 7.1 speaker for PC now which use 3.5mm jack x3, can i use that speaker for the xbox 360? and i dont think that my TV has a Audio out jack...

Thanks everyone in advanced, if you uncertain for some question, just leave it alone.. biggrin.gif

1. basic rule is if u're using a modded console don't go online .

2. if youre using modded then region doesnt really matter

3. some games have downloadable content (DLC) which encourages ppl to buy new ori games. if someone has already used the serial number, you can still play the game but you need to pay to download the DLC.

4. buy ur own hard disk and do it yourself. there are online tutorials available. but if you're scared then just send to shop

the rest i dont know enough

5. If I'm not mistaken Guitar Hero's guitar can be used to play Rock Band game but I'm not sure on the latest RB game (Rock Band 3) as the new game has the new keyboard feature and the real guitar controller. So it might not work for Guitar Hero's guitar set. smile.gif

Hi edison, already answered most of your questions in your PM but for your other questions here it is:-

2. Buy ntsc-j. The only game that i've missed out on is rock band 2 which was region locked. but that's ok because we have rock band 3 on ntsc-j now. A lot of games nowadays are region free but most of the ori games in MY are ntsc-j.

3. The xbox doesn't track serial numbers on game discs. serial numbers are used to download free dlc or rock band/guitar hero disk exports. which are one time use only. So you can buy 2nd hand or resell, just be sure to find out if the serial codes have been redeemed or not.

5. http://www.rockband.com/compatibility should answer your questions

6. No problem - my xboxlive account tracks gamer score for xbox and gfwl games. Now it should be able to track games released for windows mobile 7. Your MS points can be used to buy dlc/stuff on all platforms.

Xbox360 slim cant be modded yet, as for Kinect it just came out today, so not sure if it works with a modded set.

1. A moded console cant go online eventhough you are playing original games (get ban) correct?
you can go online on modded console but in a result of future ban

2. What is our region for console? is it NTSC/J ? So before i buy i must make sure is NTSC/J?
NTSC/J, Yes, some games are region free

3. If the 1st hand player used the code/CD-Key for that game and then sell it as 2nd hand, does it effect in me in anyway? (eg:ban, or maybe cannot play that games?)
xbox game has no serial code like pc games, the code that comes with the game are just extra content, most of it you could buy by using MS points. so thats why ppl here still sell/buy used games.

4. Is 4GB version enough? I know that if for PC 4gb for save game are more than enough, but what about console? if i buy 4GB now and then upgrade to 250GB is it possible? and how? can I upgrade it my self or do i need send to shop?
just get the 250gb version, 4gb is more than enough to install 1 game only, for extra space you would need 16gb usb flash drive (max 32gb)

5.Does Guitar Hero's Guitar and drum work with Rock Band?
yes, as far as i know my Guitar Hero : World Tour set works on rock band 1.

6. Is it wise to mix PC's GFWL with Xbox360 account? ada side effect? I have to admit that not all GFWL are ori, but mostly is ori.....

7. This question may be tricky abit, I using 7.1 speaker for PC now which use 3.5mm jack x3, can i use that speaker for the xbox 360? and i dont think that my TV has a Audio out jack...
you would have to check on yr sub woofer if it has red/white audio input, if you have that you will have to use component cable(sold seperately) on yr LCD TV then extent the red & white audio out to yr woofer audio in. if you want to use HDMI cable then yr LCD TV had to have an red/white audio output to connect yr woofer's audio input.

Thanks everyone in advanced, if you uncertain for some question, just leave it alone.. biggrin.gif

it depends on yr LCD TV if HDMI audio is able to output with Auxiliary out
