Hey all, My first post here and wanted to ask a few questions.. 1. I live in KL, Malaysia and was just wondering where can I buy a xbox 360 Asian release here? and what price tag would I be looking at for the Asian version? 2. What warrenty does the xbox 360 have here, I got an email response from playasia saying its 6months. 3. Can I play my AUS DVD's (PAL) on the xbox asian version, also my TV is PAL? Thanks in advance... Take Care

QUOTE(cylon @ Mar 9 2006, 04:20 PM) Are u a Malaysian...coz people dont usually mentioned that they lives/from here coz this forum basically r Malaysian base. The Asian console would only be officially launched around March 16 at Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore..as such u cant get it at the moment..for now! Try to looked for one after March 16 or get it from Singapore. No! Im not Malaysian, but Im working here so I need some entertainment at home Anyway, I sent an email to the playasia website and their reply was "That we offer a 6 month warrenty on the Xbox 360" Furthermore, Im a bit confused here, I thought Malaysia was PAL (like my TV)? then how come the asian 360 version is NTSC...? Need a bit of clarification here for a techie... This post has been edited by Manav: Mar 10 2006, 09:44 AM

QUOTE(judge-the @ Mar 9 2006, 05:23 PM) hehehe... i live in bangi, selangor, malaysia. hehehe... dont angry ah. 1. sure available here in kl after the singapore launch. price sure will be bit higher than the retail price. 2. the best confirmation on warranty is you email microsoft. 3. pal games only for pal machine  I think I will wait till April and see if they launch the Xbox Asia/NTSC version here. If they dont; then I will get it from PlayAsia.com. Will also email MS on the warrenty thing. (Will keep you updated) Finally, my only concern is PAL TV and NTSC xbox360..Im pretty sure an NTSC xbox 360 can work on PAL TV. Cause I remember Xbox 1 had this option where you could select what TV type you had in Video settings menu. Take Care

QUOTE(PrivateJohn @ Mar 10 2006, 11:15 AM) ....probably Japan is the core of it, since japan is using NTSC/j, microsoft just category us as ntsc/j. Xb360 launch in malaysia? Don't wait man, that's not gona happen within the next 4 years...China is getting it but not us. Hi John, Thats ok I wont wait; but I was hoping atleast the stores here would start selling the Asia/NTSC version by then (April). I also had a chat with some shopkeepers at Low Yat but they all had a japanese version and werent aware of the Asian/NTSC being launched.. Anyway, I think I will get mine from Playasia and let the Gods take care of warrenty and general well being. Has anyone ordered from Playasia before are they reliable? They seem like a pretty good crew... Anyway back to work, more later! This post has been edited by Manav: Mar 10 2006, 01:54 PM

QUOTE(yoroi @ Mar 10 2006, 01:48 PM) its not that they are not aware... they just want to get rid of their existing japanunits Do you think they will have Asian units here by April? If so then I dont have to order online and I can just get it form here. Finally do you recommend any shops for getting a xbox 360..? Support wise? Cause Im willing to pay extra few bucks to know that my console isnt one that fell from the back of the truck

Anyway i will PM him and see if he can help me out...Thanks anyway Yoroi! Edit: Djinn, I sent you a PM did you get it? This post has been edited by Manav: Mar 10 2006, 02:25 PM

QUOTE(DjiNn @ Mar 10 2006, 04:10 PM) reply already. but still need to wait for the Asia Version.. (should be cheaper and don't have to bring C4 Step Down around  ) Thanks a lot DjinNn; your shop is in Low Yat right? Once you get the Asia/NTSC stock of your Xbox 360, please PM me (or even better make a announcement at the forum). I will order from you since I too believe in buying original (non modded) consoles and original games to support developers like me. Hey! but don't foget to PM me huh...!  Take care
