XBOX360

I have a couple of questions:

I was reading that XBOX360 was recently released in Singapore, is it sold out as it has happened all over the places where it has been launched?

Do you know if in Singapore you can get the US titles mainly of EA Sports such as Madden, NBA, Baseball, etc.?

Thanks

$700... SGD or !!??

Guess as the prices are getting down, 600sgd below would make a good deal.

Need to get one sooon

Ohh yaa., it was quiet old one selling for 499sgd. but it'z not advisable to go for an core system, when u have the premium edition selling out at the shops.

Subscribe to Starhub MaxOnline and get one for SGD299 though its a core system. You would need to add your own harddisk.

Hi all,

Am thinking of getting one.. is it difficult to set up?

Does it comes with all the necessary cables or do you have to get them seperately?

It's just a console box, like all console boxes before it...

Note however, that:

1. You can only really get the benefits of an XBox360/PS3/Nintendo revolution if you have a high-definition television
2. The XBox360 uses a lot of power, and the power adaptor has been known to get very hot to the point of hanging the console.

Yup, be careful in handling it. need to get some coolers then

Bremen, the problem was in the intial sets (xbox core). Guess new sets dn't have the same kind of problem, was playing for about 4hours on the console with an LCD set absolutely no problem.

I actually think it's the stricter guidelines for electrical appliances in Singapore. My guess is the US customers got the cheaper parts.

I'd honestly wait for the price to go down and the revision of the 360 to come out before getting one. They're still improving the manufacturing process and a die shrink to 65nm is planned. This would reduce the heat output and power consumption.

It's not MS's call. It's IBM and Chartered Semi right here in SG. They want to make the shrink to 65nm to improve yields and profits. Remember, the Power5 is not just used in the XBox360.

Hi Scorpion,

You know where I can get a few sets, instead of buying from best denki, any wholesalers around? I tried looking for it at hardwarezone but didn't find any infor. It's for a company lucky draw...

Any help??
