Need Help with Buying new XBOX 360

[m-jeri]

Hey guys,

I am goin to buy a X360 most probably this sat ie on 16...
I am buyin a pro version.

Can u give me any hints on what should i look out for...
i am not sayin the fre stuffs or anything but the tech stuff
like wat all precautions and how should i use it???
how to connect it to my pc???

And how can i get it modded???
is softmodding or chip modding better????


Or the ones from ebay???
for 25k xbxo premium + 2 cntroller + 25 games..NTSC format they are....

Gimme ur opinons..
and u know the cost is abt 25k....

but in ebay they are giving premium console + 2 controller + 25 games....
but its NTSC...... with warranty to they say????

what to do u say???
go for that or buy our india's PAL.....

[desiibond]

I do not trust eBay.

Indian television has PAL B and NTSC won't work with our television sets.

[m-jeri]

then why they sellin it here???

and anyone reply abt my other queries>.....

[Riteshonline]

Buy Sony Playstation
It has NVIDIA graphis

[m-jeri]

no....its next year plan for me only...
this year x360 has become mature my dear frnd...
i wont accept a tech in its nascent age....its foolish.....

and no ps3 discussions please...
just valuable x360 insights only.....

Why ru getting a modded console,,,the failure rate is very high,,i hav an original pro version and i had to get it replaced two times from microsoft....
A modded X360 will probably last for upto 2 years...

surprise surprise!! http://www.xbox.com/hi-IN/community/promotion/sharmas/

u my friend is a lucky guy...x360 pro for just 15380...thats a pretty sweet deal.....
regarding modding ur 360.....what i wud recommend is buy the console...enjoy the 4 free games bundled with it and when the rrod appears(which,it most prolly will)....get the console replaced frm microsoft and then mod it....


cheers~!!

effective price is basically (the price you have to pay) - (the price of all the free stuff u're getting)

Make sure that you get

• 175 W version, it is less prone to RROD(Red Rings Of Death)
• Check out that it is the new version that has HDMI
• and hope that you dont have the hitachi drive they cant be softmodded BTW samsung is the easiest to mod
• I think you will either get benq or Hitachi

Softmoddings the way to go you can even restore the original firmware and send it back to M$(If it RRODs) and hope that they dont check it.

When I sent them My console they sent me refurbished one once but when sent it back again the next time they Rejected it

Google to know how as It might be against the rules to post it here(if you want to do it on your own)

I think that the cost is 19,990 and make sure that you get PAL if you want to run indian originals

When you mod you

• Void your warranty
• you cannot play on XBox Live(See my username) You'll get banned

Do it Yourself. It is easy and a lot of fun.

PS: you can always use the X-clamp method to fix your 360s RROD. I have done thrice.
