Hi fellas...

I wanted to buy an Xbox 360 slim... but I'm not sure which region should I choose.

According to the Buyer's Guide / FAQ:





What are the differences between US, Japanese, and Asian console?

To make it simple, some Xbox 360 games are region coded. This means you can only play US games (NTSC/UC) games on US console (NTSC/UC). Same thing applies to Japanese and Asian console (NTSC/J). Some games are region free though, which means it can be played on console from other region.

Also take note that if you decided to purchase either US or Japanese console, you need to purchase a step-down transformer, because US and Japanese console are using 110V while our country are supplying 220V - 240V. Asia console don't need it. If you do decide to get US / Japanese unit, make sure the stepdown transformer is at least 300W.




So I understand different region games can't be played on a different region console.

Normally in Malaysia which region do you guys pick? Please advise... especially in terms of games availability (maybe some might be easier to obtain here as compared to other region).


Thanks everyone.

There's no official region assignment for Malaysia but Asia version is the most commonly found.

Thanks a bunch!!

Then Asia will be my choice.. thanks bro.
