hi.

i've been planning to get an xbox360 from malaysia this month. but due to unforseen (well, a little bit) circumstances i ended up giving the order for a guy to purchase the system from Singapore today. A shop called Vision, thats all i know.

i asked (in writing) for a Asian Premium Xbox360 (modified: i'm sorry fellow forum posters, but i have my reasons) and the price was something close to US$ 500.

on the phone with a guy from the shop, i did ask for details, but it was not very helpful. I managed to understand that he was giving everything (three controllers? some games??) but it was not very clear, what exactly.



this forum has been pretty helpful to me in deciding in getting what from where, so im asking the members if the price quoted is appropriate? and are there modified consoles available in singapore for that price? If i get the premium console and it turns out to be not modified, i would still be happy.

so any thoughts? anything i should know? the package would be arriving via a sea route within 15 days.

500 USD??? u are ripped off.

500USD is kinda high price as i can see from the package they're gonna give u and the risk of it being a 500USD paper weight as well if u know what i meant... and why would they charge USD in SG ? u could spend way less than 500USD for a proper premium set and use the remaining money to get urself the 12 month xbox live gold subscription..

Well, i thought of that as well.

But US$ 450 to 500 was the quotes i got from Malaysia as well. That is through some friends studying there. Besides i suppose if the console is modded, it would be a bit expensive.

Anyway, if it is a paperweight when i get it then i would not have to pay eh? I have not given the money as of yet.

I can buy a PS3 with that money!

Click different titles for links to play-asia

Xbox 360 Pro System (asian region) from play-asia US$ 399.90 (~1,412 MYR)

Must Have Games (IMO)

Gears of War US$ 44.90 (~158.63 MYR)

Rainbow Six: Vegas US$ 49.90 (~176.30 MYR)

Dead or Alive 4 US$ 39.90 (~140.97 MYR)

Perfect Dark Zero US$ 29.90 (~105.64 MYR)

Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter US$ 64.90 (~229.30 MYR) <--- More Expensive cause asian region out of stock.

If you have really gone through the guilding thread, u won't end up buying with such an expensive price.

You don't sound like you're here in Malaysia, where are you?

guilding? im not sure what that means. anyway, its a hundred US$ up from the retail price, right? i know you guys mean well, but the time / hassle of getting something IMPORTED is actually much more than a hundred dollars.

so can you get on to Live from any country?

opss. I meant guide. Anyway, any country can log on to Live.

WARNING: No offense guys...

in my opinion, u r foreigners right? and your friends too? usually, if you're unlucky, some shops will "chopped off" your head because they know foreigners have extra cash if compared to malaysians. so, they will quote you a higher price because they just want some easy money.

my suggestion....bring along a malaysian to minimize the risk of being cheated.

YOU OFFEND ME IZAMAN!

kiddin


yes, but i dont think you can call me a foreigner because im not actually IN malaysia.
im from the maldives.
any maldivians here, you can pm me.

and about the extra cash, i really dont think so. they are students! i think it says enough.

i think u have been ripped off, but anyway.....hope u enjoy ur x360

Alright!
I've got the box. Its actually a premium bundle from Singapore. Included are two controllers, and PGR3 and Ninety Nine Nights

and the BAD NEWS:
The power brick isnt working.. the light only turns orange, not green. Why is that??
So i cant even check if its working or not.

and NTSC / J means the system is Asian? or is it the Japanese one?

Orange means its on standy.. when you on your console it turns green..

if your power brick has problems it will turn red..

If you said you bought in Singapore then it should be Asian version.

Maldives on 230, and the plug head is different. I'm not sure of the specs of our power brick, but there should be something listed there.

Since witcher's able to plug it in, that means he got the right plug to say the least.

All the best bro.

its working.
i must have been too careless last night.

anyways, im in the x360 club now.

too bad for the sucky games i have.

wat games do you have???
