maybe i suggest a little correction?

The power supply voltage, its V (volts) not W (watts) and our country is 240V... and the stepdown is recommended to at least 300W.

also known as D4 connector, its a Japanese standard available mostly only to Japanese TVs. Actually it carries the same YCbCr signal as Component video, only different connector. Wikipedia


D-Terminal


DVI

*edit: oops, someone already answered, sorry.

most important thing is it brings tech support here, so new owners dont have to swim back to SG/HK/JP for warranty. as for me, i still need to swim back to japan with my JP unit, LoL

and with mass distribution, the retail price is well known. recently, i met a fren who i didn't see for many years, he was shocked that i could get 360 games ~rm150, he's been buying >rm200 all this while

if they sell whatever game sg/hk is selling then that'll be fine... still a long way for malaysian localised content.

no dont do that! the red and white goes to front L/R satelites, they're output ports, not input.... use the included RCA to Stereo jack and plug it into the green hole, then set the switch to 2 channel.

try contact chinsc, he was doing a bulk on it if im not mistaken.

1) the original MS cable has the necessary adapters to support pc speaker/headphone connectors. for 3rd party, need to buy urself. most altec lansing speakers come with the adapter too.

2) 3rd party cheaper, and performs the same to me. some complaint about loose connectors for the 3rd party, i havent encountered such problems yet. im using dragon brand from playasia btw.

3) cant answer this, not from KL. mzaidi went around to look for it recently, he couldnt find any.

u mean "safe"? my experience: i've bought a few games and some other stuff from play-asia before using free shipping, all arrived safely. roughly take around 7days. free shipping doesn't require signature, so i usually order 1 game at a time using the bubble envelope packaging, small enough to fit thru my mailbox. if big item then no choice la, just hope no punk jump over the gate and take my parcel

whut 3 pin? is it the 3 RGB cable used in old monitors? u need the usual 15-pin dsub VGA port, if the cable is not detachable then u need a gender changer (image below)

here's more trivia: my NTSC/J Japan Chromehounds is "Made in Japan" and the disc is black and white. So was my RR6, but that was made in SG.

not really, the kit comes with a charging cable (usb) and a battery. the cable can only charge that type of battery (won't charge if u put AAs) and that battery can only be charged by that cable (or a desktop charger which u would hv to buy). the battery doesn't last as long compared to say a pair of 2300mAh Ni-MH batteries...

the kit is great when u don't already hv rechargeable AAs and charger... but if u already hv those, might as well buy somemore rechargeable AA, then use the charger u already hv, cheaper . one added advantage is that the kit allows u to play while u charge, but for me it beats the purpose of being wireless and my console is quite far away from the couch, id hv to go sit on the carpet. i prefer turning it off and pop in spare rechargeable AAs. the low-batt warning (when used with Ni-MH AAs in this case) gives ample warning, i can go on playing for 30 minutes with the warning light on, enough time to finish whatever Live session

IMHO, cheating would be: the controller doesn't support AA batteries and u are forced to use their proprietary battery! even if they are given free with initial purchase, sooner ud realise 1 battery is not enough and when u hv an extra battery u would want that desktop charger... after a few hundred charge cycles, your battery wears off and guess what? u hv to buy their batteries again... now that's what i call cheating

u hv ur choices....

make sure its not modded, never!

u mean on the 360 vga cable? male, plugs directly to tv/lcd. original MS cable comes with a gender changer.

non-orignals dont usually come with a converter.... i got mine for rm10 at computer shop

old monitor no problem, might be smaller size but will look better than normal TV

plug the 360 sound to ur soundcard line in, can hear both at once, no need to plug nothing. but downside is pc needs to be turned on, but some ppl's pc is always on

should be no problem... no region specific differences in the 360 wireless adapter.

i peel them off nicely, trying not to break the preforated line in the middle and stick em back inside the case. i dunno why, just for fun...

try clean the battery and controller contacts.... happens sometimes when i accidentally knock my controller
