1. Asian
2. Look in garage sales
3. I believe those packages is for older Xbox set. Currently, the new one is Xbox 360 Slim. Standard package come with either 4GB or 250GB disk space.

Will be hard for you to find PAL games here. I think it's better for you to sell that console before you come back to Malaysia. nod.gif

You should buy an Asian set for original unmod. (preferably Singapore unit)
For modded set, you can choose but Asia set from Japan, HK or Taiwan also can do.
Personally, I suggest you buy from Playtime Electronic. They are the best console and game seller. With strong back up on service.

XBOX 360 4GB Kinect Sport Bundle + Xbox 360 320GB HDD for RM1250, is that reasonable? The items are new and US ver.

suits you in long run its not worth it, for a US console you will be missing Jrpg or games with Japanese voice over which only available for Asia console, asia games is also more cheaper.

as for multiplayer im not sure which region you will be joining....


edit:- oh u will also lose the chance of selling/buying any used game here.

I would prefer games that voice in English, as that is easier for me to understand. I know certain asia games, anywhere I normally will not go for games when it just released as that could be expensive unless it is real good.

Multiplayer, I thought the US console will not force you to join the Xbox Live region from US only. Hmmmm

If you're buying US sets and play US games anyway, make sure to create a US account. Live Gold and MS Points are cheap for US account, but as IccyAsd mentioned earlier, you won't be able to sold any NTSC region-locked games as most of us here have NTSC-J consoles.

you will still be locked by region locked games/dlc that based on country IP unless you know how to use VPN to by pass this. either way you are still same like having an NTSC/J console but hard time buying games in NTSC/U

I see, last time, peoples moaning about Gears DLCs, which still PITA to download, but seems for Gears 3, there's no region lock in place.
