copy protection free? what that mean? can play the fake games on it right?

yep. you can play 'fake' games on it. real games oso can play. up to you.


but it's advisable you don't buy the rm15 copies, they don't last long and spoil the lens



most of us buy the slightly more expensive copies, they use better grade dvd. plus they use those green color dvd casings so it looks like original so that our police won't catch them.
alot of ppl selling in the forums, it's about rm80 a copy.

hope this helps

No problem bro.




You can either goto Gamer's Hideout @ Cineliesure Damansara (The Curve)


or Gamer's Solution @ City Bazaar @ KL


Just make sure when you buy, don't ask for 'modded' console. They might give you old stock, which has no official microsoft warranty.

Just ask for the latest unmodded type can edi. That way, you can play 'fake' games and still have 3 years warranty from microsoft.

mailboris, don't listen to all these non-believers

u see all those stars under my nick? that means i'm an ubermember of these here forums.

I wouldn't bring you on a wild goose chase for nothing.



Just stick with the original plan bro.

Make sure u goto those 2 shops i recommended and ask for non-modded.

Don't ask about flashing firmware or whatnot, or else they will sell you the old stock, and you don't want that.

once you've purchased ur new model unmodded, come back here, the other senior memebers and I will teach you the rest.


edi: Btw, I've got my info mixed up, you're not looking for the 'Casper' model. Ask for "Falcon" model. Sorry bout that.

Extra tips just to help out....

if you scare of RROD.. when the xbox logo display (which starting ur xbox that time) "need to complete it before it's go into dashboard"

"UP, UP, DOWN, DOWN, LEFT, LEFT, RIGHT, RIGHT, A, B, A, B, SELECT + START"

your xbox will be operating in lower power flex.gif , with 30 times of xbox life which 30 times RROD free. thumbup.gif
Later tonite I call Ah Bill see see he can help or not... then I let's u know tonite... biggrin.gif
*hurry copy down those sequence later MOD close this thread  wink.gif
*
Please refrain from all this up down left right stuff.


The only way to avoid 3ROD is to avoid buying those cheaper RM10 pirated games.

This is because they use cheaper media, means the lens and CPU works harder to read and process the data, that's why can overheat and spoil.

As long as you buy those RM80 ones i mentioned, no problem. In fact, some are even cheaper if you look hard enough.

As mentioned alotta members selling these better copies. You can check them all here: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/592026

ya  i think you're right. If i play some of the "pasar malam" games and play and play ori games also, can i still go on xbox live? and how to play online? do i have to pay? eg if i buy an ori game do i still have to pay extra to play online?
*
whether you spend on an original game or the highgrade copies sold in the Pasar Malam thread, you need to subscribe to a Gold account to have online multiplayer.

Another good thing bout buying the highgrade rm80 copies is that u can play online.

the RM5 ones that u normally not only gives u RROD, but u can't play online as well. Not only that, they BAN your console.
In other words, you 3 year warranty is void! and you cannot receive software and antivirus updates.

Gurdian... RM5 games causes 3ROD? Wrong. RM5 games cause your Xbox to sprout mechanical arms and attack you...

the only main difference with at silver and gold is the online multiplayer.

other than that, gold members are allowed to download new demos first, while silver accounts have to wait 1-2 weeks.

hence now there are name calling between the two account types: the Gold-diggers and the Sillyvers

hey gurdian sorry to disturb but i just wanted to check with you before i made my purchase. The console im looking at is one with the falcon chipset. So i can buy it and play ori games on it immediately. What about the "fake" games? can i just stick em in immediately? or is there anything i need to do first?

Thanks for all the advice man. You've really been a great help.



dude nonit to PM me. wasting digital trees nia. save the digital environment bro.



This is the Final Ultimate Level 6 answer. After this, ignore what ppl tell you about pirated games or modded or flying spaghetti monsters.

Behold:


Just goto Gamer's HideoKojimaut or Gamers Solution and ask for unmodded falcon (not casper or jasper or scoobydoo) console.

Once you got it, come back here, take pic of it and show us if you want, then we'll teach you the rest.




edit: Don't worry, you're making the right purchase.

2nd edit: Don't, I repeat, Do not ask the ppl at the shops about "can play fake/pirated/magical games or not". The Federal Association of Copyrights Unit (FACU) has been trying to catch pirated sellers by having ppl asking them and then catching them red handed. So they won't give you a straight answer. All the info you need can be acquired in these here uber forums. So just go there and buy and run away.
