Oh one question
If i was to get a english hardrive for a japanese or asian system would that mean i could play pal xbox 1 games?Comment

No, you will only be able to play asian and japanese Xbox games as well as region free titles.Comment

Can anyone clarify if an Asian 360 will need a plug adapter? If so, can anyone provide a link to where I could buy one?Originally posted by fahrenheit
Cheers.
Also, just want to make sure - will a Japanese Ridge Racer 6 work alright with an Asian console? I've read that the JP version of the game defaults to whatever language your console is set to so it shouldn't give me any language problems.Comment

Splash a bit more cash and get something a bit more powerful - it'll also be future proof if you import a PS3 etcComment

i think when i get a 360 it will be the asian one , just cause you dont need a convertor , its cheaper and you get a component lead plus it wont be too long before you can mod it to play all regions
i was looking at these
anyone know much about the modchip 360 scene yet ?
ThanksComment

A 300w stepdown should and does work fine, that's what I am currently using. If the draw were more than the stepdown could cope with it would just cutout, hopefully with no melted console.
Having said that for practicallity(my saturn, dreamcast, PS2 and NGC all need to access the same stepdown) and for peace of mind I will probably switch to a UK/Asian Xbox 360 power supply when I finally sort out my live account. Personally, I wouldn't go so far as to run any stepdown 24/7 365 days a year, but that's just me.

Wait, did I mean 200W or 300W?
I don't know anymore.
I think I meant 200W.
Sorry, my mistake - just pretend like I was never here

hi, great info here.
i was wondering if it's going to be any problem using an asian 360 on our dutch powerline, we are at 230 instead of the usual 220v's
and what site would be the cheapest to import to europe/holland to? yesasia, playasia, liksang? (it seems pa and ls even out in the end, but i don't know anything abou taxes etc..)Comment

I think you should be okay with that, in the UK we are 240v. The Xbox 360's power block on the Asian probably has an accepted range of 220v~240v printed on the back of it to account for fluctuations of supply in that region from country to country.i was wondering if it's going to be any problem using an asian 360 on our dutch powerline, we are at 230 instead of the usual 220v's
I've only ever bought my consoles from Play-Asia and never had any problems with their service or shipping, the only downside is having to pay import and duty charges, but I'm okay with that.and what site would be the cheapest to import to europe/holland to? yesasia, playasia, liksang? (it seems pa and ls even out in the end, but i don't know anything abou taxes etc..)
YesAsia can bypass the import and duty charges but you'll have a longer wait for your consoles shipping. Having said that I have seen that a few board users who bought their 360's from Yesasia have had their shipping upgraded to a courier service. I think for first time users and also because of the high value of the item. You could then get hit for import and duty charges but Yesasia offer you store credit by way of reimbursement. (So you get you import and duty money back in a way, and you can use it to buy games and get tax free shipping on them as well).
Someone else will need to comment on Lik-sang as I have only ever bought a limited edition PS2 memory card from them.

But if you didnt pay import and duty charges would you get any compensation if the parcel went missing or was damaged?Comment

One of the reasons why I think Yesasia have upgraded peoples shipping options. They would rather offer you the store credit if you do get charged import and duty. In effect paying your duty for you, and getting some more of your future business.Originally posted by eastyy
I like getting my games from Yesasia simply for the tax free option, usually get the games within 7 days as well. I just wish they carried as much variety for the XBox 360 as Play-Asia.Comment

My JPN 360 from Yesasia was marked as under ?4
They upgrade the shipping for proof of delivery so they don't get stung by credit card or paypal chargebacks on expensive items.Comment
