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.
