Hi all,

I've decided to get an Xbox 360 console when i get back home to Penang.Currently in aus. I managed to work part time and saved some money. That money shall then be invested into my gaming additcion. Muahaha

Anyways,I'd like a rought estimation of the console being sold in Penang.How much would they cost? If anyone is wondering why I dont jsut buy it in Aus and bring it back home to Msia,sicne the market price for an arcade is only AUD 299. Which according to the current exchange rate,is only RM 700. It s cuz i wanan avoid the idiotic "cukai" on it. I got fined about rm 400 for not declaring my PS3 which i bough t in Aus last year when i went back home. =.=

I don't know about the xbox 360 arcade price. But for xbox 360 premium, comes with 2 original games (kungfu panda and indiana jones) costs around rm1600 ~ rm 1700, depends on package.

But remember that is modded console. I can't find any ORIGINAL console here.

/thx for the reply.Yeah im not looking for original consoles either but seeing as how expensive it is,i guess i could spend the rm1.7k on a good pc rig and dl/buy at pasar malam the games eh? I could always get a rapidshare/megaupload premiuma ccount after all

buy from aus la.. elite over there just aud399 rite? M$ cut the price at aus.. read the news somewhere in other forum.

don't buy from aus, their game is PAL region. you'll be in hell trying to find PAL games in MY. some more aus also very heavy in their games censoring...

Lol, i de say,

1)If buy from aus,its not chipped so i can play you-know-what games. I already have a ps3 and i prefer it over xbox live.

2)If buy from aus and bring back to msia,ada cukai import. This i lagi tak syok

Hey Guys,

I'm in the same situation as you are. Thinking of getting a xbox here in Aus before going back home. Are you saying the Custom will definitely tax me for the machine? Also, can I mod the machine back home in Malaysia? Can I still play games purchased in Malaysia?

Thanks in advance for the advice guys.

uh ktks....

yeah you can mod the machine to play our games.
but regardless of whether your intentions are good or not to use modded consoles just for imported games,microsoft will ban your xbox from xbox live.

so basically,you can go ahead and buy an aussie console guys.just remember to check your region compatibility when you buy games(off the top of my head,call of duty 4 and guitar hero 3) if jack sparrow doesn't fiddle with your machine if you want to play online.

also if you plan on buying it overseas,you may want to check the voltage.
we are like 240v i think and if its like 110v,you need a transformer.if its 240v with a different shape plug,you need some adapter thing i think.
