Let me add some additional point supporting sheer idiocy of MS not releasing it officially in M'sia with no Life support some more.

1. The only true solution to piracy is education. And in this case it should be education / information specific to not pirating Xbox 360 games. How to educate Malaysian if it is not even release here officially?

2. Right now. The first real exposure one will get to the console is when trying to buy it. And guess what. Retailers will offer moded console (eventhough it is not moded ala mod chip etc). Highlighting the advantage of able to play copy game. This is the education that this generation of Malaysian get. One may wonder the effect of this negative feedback to the next generation too.

3. Live is the main reason why not to mod console and play copy games. There is some inherent risk of the console knowing that a disc is copy disc, cache the information and ban the console once someone sign in to Live. But right here in Malaysia, just buy moded console, play copy game and don't ever login to Live. And everything is set. It is not just that there is no reason to login to Live. It is also that Malaysian are not allowed to login to live. Encourage more piracy. Go figure.

I honestly think that MS should rethink their strategy. Focus more on doing the right thing (aka education, raise public awareness, etc). Not releasing it in Malaysia due to piracy sounds like an idiotic argument. The better argument will be due to small market, which IMHO singapore has even smaller.

After years of waiting. Honestly I have give up on this . So here is for another would be moded console owner who will prolly play copied games. Because waiting for official life & official support sounds like a bad idea at this so late of the console life time.

Cheers!
