What happens when…

What happens when you have….

My xbox 360

 

something you have been dreaming for 1 year, something you have been dying to play, something for which you spent 750 bucks..and still you can’t play it.

Well, talking about my XBOX 360 console which I got from US (a close friend brought it here). I am waiting for step down voltage converter to arrive so that I can plug-in US based power supply (110V) to it and enjoy the game.

Now, you must be wondering why the hell 750 USD for USD 399 game.

Well, this is what I got in USD 750

  • XBOX 360 PRO Console - USD 399
  • 1 Wireless Controller – USD 50
  • 3 Game CDS – USD 180
  • Rest US local tax and etc.. etc..

It is just really strange feeling when you can’t play it and all you can do is, stare at this bloody beauty…

  • Congratulations! Gears of War is a great game! CoD3 didn’t get good reviews and there were issues with the resolution it was running at. NFS should be fun.

    Enjoy your console!

  • No, in India we get Pro console for Rs. 27500 and in US it is USD 399 i.e. around Rs. 18,000 and I got Pro Console + one extra wireless controller + 3 games (each around Rs. 2500) + taxes and all for Rs. 34,000 or so.

  • Rohit – I personally like COD 3 than Gears of War… may be because I like more of war games. But yea, you guys are anytime invitied :)

  • Congrats man! Happy Gaming!

  • Hi, firstly congrats on the console. I was wondering about getting one from the US myself but these are region locked, aren’t they, so how do I play games that I buy here in India?

    Any way of getting around that?

    by: Abhinav, Dec 13th at 11:08 am

  • Actually, the US will console work on TV set which supports NTSC; in India we have PAL. So the games that will work with your console will be NTSC based or Region Free ones.

    In india, we can get NTSC based as well as PAL games but in official stores, you get only PAL. But on Ebay or say Heera Panna or few stores in Delhi / Gurgaon you will get NTSC an Region Free games too.

    In short, you should not worry about getting the games. You will get more games than PAL here, more in the terms of latest and newer ones.

    2nd thing you should keep in mind that, you will get to get a step down converter to make your US based game work here. The best converter will be of 300w which can convert 220-240v to 110v.

    Regards,
    Deep

  • Thanks a lot for the information.

    by: Abhinav, Dec 14th at 1:49 pm

  • Hi Deep,

    I am planning to buy an XBox 360 from the US. Can u please let me know what is required to make it work in India i.e step down convertor, which region games (PAL/NTSC) etc. Moreover, can u play pirated games on the console without any mod chip (as most pirated games are NTSC region encoded)?
    Do mention if u have faced any other problem too.
    Thanks in advance !!! :-)
