Hi everyone,

first i wanna apologize if creating this new topic for such a question, but im really out of choices. sweat.gif

Question #1:
i wish to buy a brand new Xbox 360 Elite set, but almost every shop (even Nelson's and Bernard's shop) i call they dont have it in stock. so say Microsoft no longer manufactures it, some say there's no stock atm and will have some coming in soon~ well, been waiting for close to a month n still no news on it~ rclxub.gif

i am sure there are some shops in KL which do have it in stock, but i have no idea where else to check or call. cry.gif cry.gif

would really appreciate it if anyone here who knows where i can buy a brand new one, plz let me know smile.gif will belanja you mamak!!! if your in Klang valley la~ brows.gif


Question #2:
another thing, i have however found some Elite consoles from shops in USA, but will their console work for us here? and if i were to buy it, will i have to pay taxes at customs if they ship it here? wink.gif


really appreciate if anyone can help me~ icon_question.gif icon_question.gif icon_question.gif

Answers:

Q1: If you r frustrated to get Elite, go to some trusted site like play-asia.com, http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-14-71-bq-49-en.html since they ship from Hongkong, u can get it quite fast and service is reliable too. Flaw is the console is Japan version which means u must get either Japanese or Asia region code games.

Q2: If you wanna get a duty-free xbox  drool.gif , go for ebay, find a reliable seller, check his/her profile rating tat ship internationally, request seller not wrap ur console and accessories in original retail box, then request for write "Gift" in custom form and included hard copy invoice tat stated as lowest item price as possible. If this trick works, the postman will ring your door bell, not the custom ppl.

thanx! will look into the play-asia idea... but yeah, the flaw u mentioned does sound a bit susah in the future. cool~ will look into your ebay method! tongue.gif
