I went out and asked for an modded xbox 360 slim 250gb, that person is selling me for RM1350 is it worth that price? It comes with 10CD(s)

But I think is better to get a unmodded xbox 360 cause it might be better to play online with others? But most of the places they don't sell unmodded xbox due to the low demand of it..

Anyone could help me to solve my problem? Either to get the unmodded one or the modded one? Cause modded one can't play certain games and can't online and also some latest game can't be play by modded xbox.. The only advantage of modded xbox is cheap CDs.. Is that all right?

Please give me an answer! I might be buying one tomorrow..

Time to check out Garage Section at the Games Section. There are plenty of sellers here selling unmodded ones.

Modded xbox will not last you long as you need to keep updating it once new games are release.

Unmodded ones, you can update, download stuff online and never get any problems running newest and latest games. As for being online, if you do play multiplayer games, you need to subscribe to Xbox Live Gold. This is additional cost on top of the console and games.

Think about it before committing.

I bought mine few weeks ago from GH@Curve.. unmodded of course.. 250gb..

Unmodded is the way to go.. Games are not like what it used to be, finish campaign and that's it, you can chuck it away.. Not anymore, coz we can enjoy playing multiplayer! If you're a big FPS nerd, you gotta go for unmodded..

Games like GOW, Halo, Battlefield, COD, is just so awesome to play online.. With all those achievements you can unlock pushes you to play more, which in return, you won't be bored so quick..

There's also mini campaign, multiplayer maps, weapon and accessories you can buy online.. with modded, you can kiss all that goodbye..

Of course, you spend a lot more buying games and online subscription but it will be worth every penny..

Hi, thanks for the comments! After I did some research, and finally I made up my mine.
I'm intended to get a 250gb kinect but unfortunately the seller says unmodded 250gb finish left 4gb so I took a 4gb.
Is it better to get a xbox external memory or get one and connect it myself?

I'm facing a locale registration problem.. Could anyone guide me? =O

Save up and get a 250gb hdd. Sooner or later you'll need the HDD for demos and DLCs and to prolong the life of the optical reader (what most people say), install a portion of the game on the hdd.

As for registration, I started off with SG region. Each region has its own exclusive stuff but most of it are similar. Just be aware that MS Points are region specific.

As for Gold, I'm not sure if its region specific since there are Asia version, US version and Japan version.

I'd suggest that you created an US gamertag, this way you'll get access to more contents and generally the Live Gold/Microsoft Points are cheaper for US accounts if you know where to find it.
