I just wonder, why do microsoft don't bring in Xbox to malaysia officially. From what i see, piracy is not much an issue, coz i believe there are a lot of ppl here that buy original softwares, unlike the previous "consoles".

In fact, during microsoft events, they do showcase xbox-es, i just don't understand why..

any thoughts?

Well.. from what i see, the piracy for xbox360 probably not as rampant as before.

In fact, to my surprise - there are so many ppl here who buy original xbox.

ok lor...

darn...

mohamadfazli.....100 legit 360 owners is NOT alot.....seriously, look at it from a business perspective....to launch ur gonna have to spend cash on servers, staff, maintainence, yada, yada, yada.....it just isnt worth it

and im sure u started this thread after reading about the rumour on the other thread about MS banning accounts....well, that IMO is just gonna cause more piracy in this region....

theres nothing we can do but to wait for the official word from MS
like cows waiting to be slaughtered.....eeek

well..

guess the only thing we need is a service center. With respect to online servers and stuffs, i think we can live with our neighbour (singapore?).

Even then, service center is not much an issue, because we have some many distributors here that i am sure willing to set up the center.

Maybe shud contact microsoft malaysia directly.. hmmm

see if i still have contacts with one of microsoft's director in malaysia on my yahoo list.... ekekeke

mebbe should get djinn to talk to the person in charge in malaysia, who knows gamer's hideout can become the main distributor for malaysia... heh heh

That would be cool but does Djinn want that responsibility?

If so bro Djinn thats a whole lot of power you can have.

ha ha...

just a rhetoric thinking...

am sure other distributors like Ingram Micro or Servex will be more than willing to distribute it.

We shall see...

wah djinn..

i think your shop is really going places..

bila mau buka another branch?

is it illegal to set up shop to play console games like cyber cafe?

It's more like Pirates 100000000 MS 0 

Microsoft keeps scoring own goals too ( DOAX2), heheheheh maybe if I mod my machine then I'll be able to play... no more annoying cdkey...

Heard somewhere that MS is planning to disable modded x-boxes? Turn them into expensive pieces of high tech art/brick!    That'll teach them pirates heheheheh!

is there any place to play console games in klang valley? i mean a proper set up?

Hah...its all about money! I think local Microsoft chapter are at fault. They dont have the guts to take the responsibility of being the supporter of Xbox locally. If Sony can bring in the PS2 and PSP officially here despite rampant piracy, why cant there.

erm..i'm KL-fornia. djinn's shop? heard about it somewhere in the thread. where is that?

aahhh...is that where ermm...there's a vid where someone's playing the wii? is that the place? looks like cool place.

yea i might give it a go (cineleisure). thanks dude! anyway, prolly in a wrong thread, but how much is an xbox360? i dont mind if its mod, just so if i wanna play a game with some XBL action, i'd get the original.

u guys have been a great help
