thats cheap, no idea what region china is - xbox360 is region specific, like dvd players... the current 'mod' doesn't allow you to play different region games, but some games aren't region locked....

are you sure its legit?

WTF ... I took a punt & bought it anyway. Way I look at it, I either do my money ($350) from dealing with spurious inscrutable orientals, or, (& I always was an optimist) I get a really cheap xbox 360.

I can get lots of region free games (if you know where to look). & I can always get the thing chipped to play local games anyway.

So the next question is ... how long does it take to come from beijing ???

There is no chip that will play all regions, don't get scammed. the only hack for the 360 is the dvd drive firmware one and that only allows you to play backups from the same region and thats it.

DAMN!!!!!!!!! I knew it was too good to be true!

This means I'm gonna stay with my original plan of geting an original modded XBOX (hopefully with heaps of games pre-installed).... off to ebay I go! :)

Thanks for the heads-up dude!!! :P

LOL i mean the voltage will be universal also.

Yo ferni, organising some Verbatim DVD9s today so hopefully ill have them sent out to be tested some time soon :D

Do u guys from the east side go visit 'Annie" for blanks?

Id say so, but Australia gets all the crumbs anyways, get an NTSC machine and youd open up the chance at at least 20% more games than on the Aussie Market.

I've been told the xbox is on it's way. I'm pretty sure it's a bundled system they sold in the USA. This retailed in the US for USD$750 ~AUD$1000. What I paid makes it a VERY cheap xbox, hopefully there won't be any road rash on the box when it fell off the truck ....

Since this is probably a US system, that would make it NTSC, does that mean it won't work on Australian TV sets?????

NTSC is the output format in USA and Japan... 480 horizontal lines, PAL is used in most of europe and australia... 576 horizontal lines.... but come to think of it, since the xbox can output HDTV and most people will use the HDTV signal, i don't think PAL/NTSC comes into it.... maybe something in the game that checks NTSC game on NTSC xbox....

Most modern TV sets will display NTSC signals anyway.... check your TV Manual?

Step down transformer 65 Watt = $66, 100 Watt = $88. That would bring the total up to, say, $450. Still very cheap.....

All i need is the actual xbox now.

I dont know where you heard that a 66W or 100W supply will be adequate but your wrong, you will need a 500W step down to run the 360.

A friend of mine imported an NTSC on on release and he is using a 550W step down, they get quite hot aswell and must be well ventalated.

You are not getting a good deal here will will end up paying the same amount if not more as a PAL console and then when you want games you will have to import them.

I think you should have done your research before you bought it thinking it was a good deal.

Was this bid @ auction?

I saw on Jay Leno not too long ago that someone was selling an XBOX BOX and it went for HEAPS!! i dont think the person who won the bid realised it was just the box, i hope they dont stooge u the same way!!

And coops on the money when it comes to having to import games its gonna cost u ALOT more in the long run and if its NTSC-J they games wont even be in English!?!

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
