its better to buy asian consoles. Cheaper games $45-55 compare to $60, retail games. Asian game supplies easier to acquire.

If im not mistaken, there are some games title that are only for meant for US region..
but i'd still go for Asian consoles due to games availability... i have a friend who got a gift from his father in law, a US version of xbox slim.. all this while, he's just playing with 1 game.. DIRT3... how sad is dat? he said its hard to find compatible games that he likes from local game shop... |

If you do want to get a 360, it's really not advisable for you to get a US one.
The major cons are you probably need a step down transformer, you won't be able to play asian ntsc-j releases unless they are specifically region free. Unlike the PS3, the DLC that is available to you is not tied down to your game region. Xbox360 DLC is "mostly" region free and will work irrespective of the game region as long as it can be played on your xbox. Also, asian versions of games are far cheaper than their american counterparts. |

US can only play US region games and DLC.
ASIA can only play ASIA region games and DLC. but some games are region free. since u live here, ASIA version is recommendable. |
