thanks a lot for this faqs, this answered a lot of my questions!

I'm thinking of buying xbox 360. I'm currently studying in Australia, hence all Xbox360 sold here are pal while I'm looking for ntsc version or else I'd have problem looking for games when I returned to Malaysia next 2 years. I mostly more into jrpg and hence am thinking of buying some titles like infinite undiscovery/tales of vesperia, which I believe is region-coded (correct me if I'm wrong).

based on the game comparison in page 1, it seems like I'd better off with ntsc/j

Just a question: If I buy xbox360 from PlayAsia (Jap version), do I need to have stepdown transformer to play it in Australia?

you would have to as Japan is 110V while in OZ it is still 220-240V, why don't you get an asia version instead?

As said, if you mod the console, you are taking half the fun away as live is actually great. When you are saying 60G caps a month on your broadband, will you be planning to stay in OZ long? Or you will be returning to M'sia? If you are planning returning to M'sia then it would be best getting an Asian Console.

And that return to the point where if you just want to play xbox because of the game or because of the gaming community. I would say a lot of us got the xbox because of the community as well. As much as it is fun playing solo, the live part is truly an eye opener. Playing with a bunch of friends, nothing can replicate that.

Thanks for the advice guys. I just bought my Xbox360 60gb today for AUD$305 (RM671). Got 3 free games with it (Kung Fu Panda, Lego Indiana and The Simpsons). Bought Assasins Creed for AUD$34 as well. Now I have to bring it back to Malaysia to claim back 10% GST from the Australian Government.

You guys know how much is the controller in Malaysia? (as there is only one in the box)

Controller I think ranges from 150-200. why don't you try play-asia. sometimes there are good bargains there for controller. and if you are into limited edition, get the red colour limited edition.

Btw, great price you got for the xbox. Aussie rate is only 2.2 now?
