Hi guys, as per topic, can we import a Xbox One <US> and play it in Malaysia? It is region locked like Xbox 360. So could it be playable like Xbox 360 <US> simply with a US hotmail configuration in Malaysia. Fyi, I am currently own an X360 <Sg> (and PS3 too) with an Asia Hotmail configuration so no issue at all. I've pre-ordered XOne - Day One Edition from Amazon, just wanna sure and clear whether this machine is playable when delivered during the end of the year (just cant wait till 2014/2015 release of XOne in Bolehland).

Thanks in advance for your advice here.

Buying NTSC game is not a problem if we purchase it from Amazon or play-asia.
I am more concern about the authentication of the XOne when connected to net. Will it block us from playing XOne <US, NTSC/U> in bolehland (with NTSC/U game of course)?

Btw, just for sharing, way back to 2007 when I first bought X360 <Asia NTSC/C> we can't simply connect to Live. In order to do that we have to create an US hotmail account with US address as well as US credit card info. Things might change in recent year though..

Noted with the adapter thing and wish a simple converter adapter will solve it.

I'm the lucky one that successfully pre-ordered XOne- Day One Edition and PS4 - Launch Edition. Amazon seems sold out these two console now.

I am one of those internet audience that vote for PS4 over XOne in this E3 2013 for its superiority as well as great price point (which doesnt impact us in Bolehland much with our super low currency, both 399 and 499 are expensive after conversion though).

The only reason I ordered XOne is solely because of Forza 5 (yes, I am a big racing fan since I was a boy). While for PS4, we can't get Uncharted 4 anytime soon and GT6 been out for PS3, so I just grabbed Killzone Shadow Fall in the hope to play it in PS4 with my 55" LED.

Fyi, I bought most of my PS3 and X360 from amazon whenever there is huge price drop (quite often and quite cheap) and shipping/delivery is not a problem at all so far (with over 7 years buying experience with Amazon). The shipping cost is base off your selection over how fast is your delivery and it is reasonably cheap if you could lump a few games in one order. So far I've never happen with imposed of custom and my most expensive purchase was over RM900. Might be luck though.

The release date of XOne in Asia is in Fall of 2014 in Sg, HK, Aus & NZ. Bolehland is expected a longer waiting period. If u can't wait, better get one from somewhere before it sold out everywhere. Fyi, PS4 and XOne is sold out in Amazon and others (MS, Gamestop, Play-asia) will out of stock real soon. Good luck.

Yes, the PS4 Standard Edition = looooooooongggg Q, Good Luck!

Free shipping to Sg, what a great news! I were staying in Sg for the past 6 yrs and just back to KL permanently since last Sept... anyway shipping to My doesn't cost much it's merely USD19.90 so it's cnosidered cheap though..

If we really dying to get one, seems Sg is the most viable option now.

Nevertheless, I'll still keep my pre-order of X1 Day One Edition until there is no hope of playing the US X1 in Bolehland. Anyway, I'll still have my PS4 Launch Edition and KZ too!

For me personally, most of the X1 content offered in US 1. doesn't interested me, 2. doesn't accessible/offered in Bolehland, ie TV, movie, music, etc. The reason I bought X1 is solely because of Forza 5 .

If I cant get it day one, I wont lose much since I still have F2, F3, F4, GT5, GT6, NFS, DiRT 1/2/3, GRiD 1/2, F1 2011/12 in either X360 & PS3. Just my personal intention of X1 here.

Note that X1 is not a bad machine as a overall content services provider. It still have those audience looking towards this as a ONE machine that rule the house . If in US is even better due to the content (TV, Movie, Music, etc) offered.

I believe if we wanna enjoy a complete gaming experience, we gotta get both PS4 and X1 eventually since both machine has its pros and cons.

No offend to Nintendo fans but I gotta admit that I am already over the age to enjoy Nintendo since long long long time ago

But I still believe as a true gamer (I am merely part timer ), they should really get Nintendo, PS and Xbox in order to enjoy the complete gaming experience. But just not for my age
