This might probably be the last issue to consider as I'm getting an Xbox 360 quite soon! (Yes, there's the hard work and loans, but it's worth it. )
So, here's the big question:
Shops in MYS hardly sell US/ NTSC/U 360s. I want some games exclusive to USA (Madden!) but not the constant price of 60 USD per game. Yes, they're painful, and I'd like to choose between instant release for 60 bucks and prolonged release for 35. (Yes, I'm a poor b***h, but with me working for the 360, you don't quite see me shelling out 600 bucks for 10 games sans shipping, right?)

Does the softmod actually bypass regions?
I'm gonna mod it only for that.

Hmm... I'm itching for NHL 07... and it's for the wrong reasons?
Getting a /J, missing out a skill stick control isn't that much compared to Blue Dragon, I suppose.

And another question:
Viva Pinata- you can hit me now, but the game turns me on (screens look incredible). IGN doesn't state a Japan launch, but it's "in" play-asia. Comfirmed?
