Importing Games/Consoles

[damien©]

I know the obvious ones, Lik-Sang.com and Play-Asia.com but does anyone know any more Import Websites. Preferably based in the US or Canada!

Cheers

im going to start importing games as long as i knwo their in english and play on my pal 360, ill have a search on the web myself and post what i find mate

Well it appears that if you order Asian Games they come in Chinese and English, except if they are only Avialable in Asia then they tend to be in Chinese or other.

I wanted as I was considering getting another Xbox 360 and I figured I might aswell get a different region one.

Although I mainly was considering importing Region Free Games but there doesn't seem to be that many based in North America except videogamesplus.ca

the asians one sell for just over 20 pound new i think its worth getting thme from their, andthey are in english even the jap ones r made in to english their i think. ill be buying asian region free games, might consider usa ones depending on the price

All I can say is Lik sang.

TBH if you have a good look you can find a bargain on Ebay.

BIG D...if you're gonna buy another 360 then you'd be better getting one modded. Have one for 'homebrew' ;) and the other for playing on Live still.

I've been considering this but not sure how to get around the missus 'hey..you know that 360 you didn't want me to buy....I'm gonna buy another one!' hmmmmmmmmm

I was considering that... I'm not to keen on the firmware hack, although there are rumours that there is a modchip about to be released that will allow homebrew software and a larger hard drive. Although how much truth is in that is anyones guess!

yeah im a little unsure about the mod chip, i will wait until they have proved it, at the mo, its just "we've done it" Helpful :D
no doubt they'll do it eventually, but not yet me thinks

you just know its going to be about 50wires to chip the 360

How do you know this....?

I am aware there will be problems, as even depedning on the firmware hack you use and the dvd drive you have. You could have to connect from 4 wires to 11 wires!

[Raisedbyflames]

i was talking aboutbad experiances i had trying to chipa ps2 slimline

Well even if I don't chip it, I plan on getting a second one anyway and it will be from a different region whether Asia or North America is yet to be decided.

The only problem with gettting a Xbox 360 US Version they have a 110V Power Supply but as you know I would need a 220V Power Supply which does ship with the Asia Version. So it looks like I'll probably get that one!

yeah the first xbox modchip had LOADS of wires to solder, always will, the first chip

Not true. The modding scene has learnt from the past and if there is a way where it won't need soldering they will use that way. Just like the Xbit, and non solder adapter. I don't believe this chip for the 360 though. If programmers are having problems and saying so in forums I don't think a underground scene has managed to crack it.

yeah but it took em a couple years to make it non solder, the first one wont be non solder, they wont have had the time to figure it all out properly

[Tobes]

There's nothing to plan... it was the fact that no one had the idea on how to make it non solder. Now they now how to it won't be hard to reproduce? Have you got a non solder chip for your Xbox. I have one for my X3 and all it is is metal pins which push down on the motherboard. Nothing special.
