Hi guys, I'm looking to get an Xbox 360 for Oblivion (it's just too hot to pass ) but I'm not sure whether I should get the Australian PAL version, or import an Asian/Japanese NTSC version from lik-sang or play-asia. What's the difference between the Asian console and the Japanese console anyway?

Oh, one more silly question, can you connect a normal 3.5mm headphone to the Xbox 360?

Thanks a lot!

Get the Asian console, the games is over RM100 cheaper compared to the PAL version. The major difference between the Asian and Japanese console is that the Japanese console requires a stepdown transformer if you're using it in Malaysia or Australia. As for the headphone, you can't plug them in directly. You need to get an adapter for them.

So basically the difference is just the power supply? The Japanese console can play Japanese games as well as Asian titles and vice versa?

And what sort of adapter am I looking at?

Thanks again buddy!

most of us here are using the japanese console and i can say that most of us now are buying the asian games because the price is so much difference. japanese games around rm220-250 meanwhile asian games around rm160 like that.

or you can get SG version. which basically the same as japs set except didn't have remote control but got component cable. price should be around the same as japs set, but no need to buy step down transformer.

get the PAL console and be stuck like moi

im planning to get the asian set around next yr..along with ps3

just get the ntsc/j set and u will neva eva regret it

if aaronchin really want to buy PAL console, you sell yours to him lar

hes in oz

too far

er. boss. you still want your blazing angel ka?

Thanks a heap guys! I'll go with the Asian console.

but will you be staying in MY or Aus?
if in Aus then have to import the game somemore, will not be cheap

To think I ALMOST bought a PAL machine the other day...

I'll be going back to Malaysia for good in July. Guess I could wait a few months, just gotta get my mind off Oblivion now.

Even with shipping, it'll be much cheaper to buy games from playasia/liksang then to buy PAL games in Australia.
