So I've got the audio/video infrastructure sorted out for the prospective purchase of the X360 (got the DELL 24" LCD, sticking w/my current speakers for now but upgrading to the Logitech z-5500 l8r) Now I just have to get the damn X360. So I'm looking for recommendations on where in KL to get a modded 360 ( before this degenerates into a mod vs Original thread, let me just say that as a dedicated offline gamer aand also for myriad other reasons, this is not something I'm unsure about-it's definitely gonna be a modded set. Sorry guys.). Basically my criteria is more towards reliability rather than price. If you know of any place like this, post a reply or PM me if you reckon the 'publicity'  might be troublesome. Will prolly pick it up after CNY. Put some of the angpow money to a worthwhile cause  .

you'd be better off buying an unmodded xbox360 first, then only mod it. why? because of the mod itself, u wont get the firmware something something (im not so sure bout this) and when u wanna revert back to original, u're screwed. coz basically they just mod the optical drive firmware, n not install a modchip or something. pls dun kick me in the nuts, coz i havent got any experience in 360 mods.

for modded set, no matter which gameshop, once 3rod, no warranty and walla~! 1.5k nice white brick present to you  note: my frens asked some of the sg wang game shops, they said they will send back to their technician for repair, no 1 to 1 exchange allowed. you can try ask GH, they may or may not selling. but as for 1 to 1 exchange, think only avail for unmodded set. DjiNn, right?

I already found a way modding the X360 without voiding the warranty as for me no worries because the pretty white box won't turn into a beautiful white brick.
