Salam to all,

I wanted to ask about buying a Xbox 360. I've mainly been a PC Gamer but the upgrading costs have made me think about getting a console and dumping all the hassle associated with meeting requirements.

Would a Xbox 360 do? Is it available with modifications that allow it to run pirated games? Any helpful advice regarding would be much appreciated. This is my first console so i have no idea of usual problems/things to look for.

Thankyou

xbox360 that u get here (till now) are the ones with poor thermal performance. wait till the die shrink versions hit the shelves, (consoles dated nov 07 me thinks). then get one!

as for the ones in the market, yes modded ones are available both basic and premium versions (has wireless controller and silver trim, hard disk, head set).

the price for the basic version is 16700 and the prem is about 22k, but this varies day to day and from city 2 city

XBox 360 Arcade is available but finding a Hacked Arcade is another story (From Electro Deals, Khalid). Maybe in a couple of weeks...
