he's asking what region la bro, not what revision. smile.gif

we'll the first thing you could do is, do you need to play it using step down transformer or not? because if it is, probably your xbox is japan set or US set. but, do you buy seperate power brick? if the seller gave you the power brick and you still need the transformer, then your console is either japan or us.

the second is, you could try non-region free game (assuming your console is non-modded, because sometimes pirated cd says region free while they're not). and load your xbox. if it can play,then you know the region already. if it can, try another game.

it's quite troublesome. why dont you just ask the seller. i dont know if other people knows the easy way. notworthy.gif

hey thanks for the info...
my xbox is modded & I think the previous owner also dont... both of us play ahem so we dont really care...


now I change my mind, wub.gif wub.gif slowly buy ori game first... later I'll buy the unmodded console now no money cry.gif cry.gif ...

Why xbox 360 slim 250gb here sell 1000++ While US only sell 200++ usd?? What is the diff?
*
US$200++!! Where did u saw it???
most shop in US sell min US$250(new) without tax(US)...
then u got plus ship fees then plus MY tax...

MY consumer must plus all that and plus profit for supplier...
usually means we got to pay around US$50-100 more

1- i can recommend you a guy. try to go garage sale section for video games, and look for bernard. his thread title is gamers solution. he's really a friendly seller. last week i asked him,price range from rm800(no hard disk) to RM1100 (with hard drive).

2-well, like i said,his shop is located at pertama complex, second floor. but there are also reputable game seller like gamers hideout. try to look at garage sale section.they are all friendly seller. i cant really recommend where to get other than the seller in garage sale as they tend to cheat you.

3- there's no 20gb xbox slim. only 250GB and 4GB. if you're not going to download DLC, 4GB is enough. you can always use your thumb drive as secondary storage.

4-the latest revision (jasper) is more reliable and not easily affect by RRoD problem. as long as you take a good care of it and keep it well ventilated, should be no problem.

5-get NTSC-J console.most of games here are NTSC-J region, so you wont have a problem to find the games locally.

and dont forget to support originals.

jasper is the latest!!! doh.gif doh.gif
valhalla is the latest la dude
jasper is the phat/original xbox 360

is arcade set with the 4gb memory enough for usual play? can it be upgraded later?

which version is better? 160gb or 250gb? or the 4gb set? cz my budget is <rm1k.
*
the Slim one only got 250gb HDD, there is NO 160gb HDD
STUPID MICRO$FT!!! mad.gif mad.gif the should let us use the old(phat xbox360) HDD, 250gb is way to much for me BUT 4gb is so damn little.. you can't even install 1 game with 4gb, WTH is that Microsoft.

they should make arcade set at least hv 60gb HDD that reasonable NOT 4gb or 512mb
or at least make a way for us to use the old HDD.
BOTH new & old HDD is same 2.5" HDD BUT with different casing mega_shok.gif mega_shok.gif

hi, newbie to xbox here. my friend wants to buy the xbox360s+kinect bundle from the usa, will he have to get games which are the same region as his console? btw, is it easy to get us region games in msia? is the price the same as other region?

he says the bundle is about 300usd for a 4gb model. is 4gb enough? the other set is 250gb, why is there such a big gap? can the 4gb use external storage to increase capacity?

basically, just wanna know if its worth buying it there and bringing it here to use in msia. if games are harder to get/more expensive, then probably he wont buy it there
*
games u can order with play-asia thumbup.gif

its US$300 b4 tax.. BUT is still cheaper, I think hmm.gif
better get the 250gb set. why later u have to pay US$129-139(400-450) for the official HDD
arcade(4gb set)+kinect bundle=rm1150-1290..for elite(250gb)+kinect bundle I dunno, I didn't see any seller selling it
u can use an external HDD/pendrive, BUT!! maximum 16gb for each storage devices & u need 0.5gb for installation

definitely more expensive & limited seller.. BUT is ur call, we(forumers) just guide u..
have fun bro icon_rolleyes.gif icon_rolleyes.gif icon_rolleyes.gif

Hi guys,

I’m thinking to buy Xbox 360 Slim next month, but I have a few questions to ask.

1. Currently, what is the average price for the Xbox 360 Slim on the market?

2. Does modded version for Xbox Slim exist? I want to go online and I read before that you can’t go online with a modded system. I’m afraid that I will get the modded version when I purchase it.

3. How long is the warranty for the Xbox 360?

4. Does playing FPS games easy using the Xbox 360 controller? I used to play FPS games on my PC with keyboard and mouse, but I don’t know whether using controller will be easy or not.

Sorry for all the noobs questions, I’m still new with all these Xbox 360 thingy.
*
1. - Xbox 360 Slim 4GB w/o kinect ~ RM800-900
- Xbox 360 Slim 4GB w kinect ~ RM1100-1250
- Xbox 360 Slim 250GB w/o kinect ~ RM1100-1200
- Xbox 360 Slim 250GB w kinect ~ RM1400+
BTW this not modded price, modded going to cost more whistling.gif

2. dunno

3. 1 year official warranty

4. try first, borrow a friend controller first or etc
