Hello. In like 4-5 months or so I'm gonna buy an Xbox360 but I really have no information for it whatsoever so here goes.

1. What's the difference between modded and unmodded? Like if we buy the unmodded version, we cannot play a burned disc that they sell in game shop there?

2. What is this 4Gb or 200Gb thing that we need for xbox? Is it for the save files?

3. What's the normal price for xbox games?

4. Is it still a good time to buy a 360? Coz idk when the next gen xbox coming out...

5. If its possible can you include the last known price for xbox 360 slim? biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

1. unmodded cant play pirate games.

2. hard disk storage for save game file and the game itself. upload from hard disk will let ur lens rest a bit. still u need original cd even to upload from hard disk.

3. price change from time to time.

4. anytime is a goodtime to buy x360 smile.gif

5. rm1150 for 250gb x360 slim. if with kinect rm1400.

Install to hard disk means the disc only needs to be read during the initial boot, so the drive doesn't rest a bit, it rests A LOT! tongue.gif

Also, remember that you can now use up to 16GB thumbdrives to act as storage for your save games and install files.

If u felt the new game price is pricey, u can get it 2nd here on LYN, http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1901612
depend on the age of the game, ranged RM30-100+
if u buy unmodded console, u can play online, so 1 game can actually last way more longer than a "offline" modded console. Plus there always some freebies, demo, trial, game promotion u can download via Xbox LIVE with ONLY unmodded console.

btw, something u need to know about modded console

Rumor said that Microsoft will release an update that will "destroy" your console upon playing pirated copy. If you dont update u cant play new games. Sumore need ot pay RM50-100 to update at shop for every XBox update, while unmodded just update freely.... In short, unmodded console are expensive to play, but trouble free, modded console are cheap to play, but very troublesome.

from your post it seems like getting a console will even affect you from getting a car license, so take my advise dont go for console gaming, study, work get paid then only think about it in future, it is too early for you to own a console.
