Jockstar Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Haver been having problems with playing games on the Pc recently. I think it comes down to the fact that my Pc needs upgraded. So i'm thinking instead of upgrading the Pc. How much would a Xbox or PS2 cost. I think i'd prefer to buy an Xbox. So how much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goooner Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Xbox around 10,000baht PS2 around 8,000baht Personally i'd suggest going PS2 - theres a far wider selection of games, and i've had extreeme difficulty getting working games for my Xbox.

Goooner Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 I dont beleive its possible, there isnt any socket on the back of the Xbox to hook your monitor into. Maybe the cable you use to connect the xbox to the TV can be replaced with one going to your monitor, but you'd have to check that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Get a PS. As mentioned, there's tons of games for them. Don't see too much for the xbox. Also, add on 900-1000baht for memory card to save game positions. If you haven't got a tv then get a cheap new one for around 4,000b or a used one for next to nothing(you would only need to use the video channel). Personally I don't bother with pc games anymore. They always seem to cause problems with the pc too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefoxx Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 The PC's main advantage in the field of gaming is in the numer of online games (much more evident in Thailand). If you're not into interactivity and more into single player action, then a console is the way to go. Personally, I hate playing alone, so I prefer the PC. There are adapters to get the output of the Xbox/ps2 on a VGA monitor, but they're expensive. You could also get a cheap video-in card for your computer, but that's a bit klunky. I say just get a TV... get one with component inputs if you want really nice output for cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunny Valentine Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Anyone out here who knows a shop (in Pattaya area, or Bangkok) where I could find extension cables for the Xbox Controller? I am stuck with my Controller with a 2 Meter cord, sitting in front of a 55 inch projection TV ...... Any good Xbox hardware stores anywhere in Thailand Sunny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penzman Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 I love the racing games on a pc using a steering wheel. Are steering wheels available with the PS2? I just hate steering the car using a control pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefoxx Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Steering wheels are available for the PS2. Sony's GT force wheel is around 5,000 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJDinsay Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Sunny: If you go into Panti, go left towards the coffee shop next to the down escalator and keep heading towards the back of the Pantip, down the stairs and keep heading ahead. There's a game shop there hat sells modded boxes - I believe he also has controllers and extension cords. Any X Box Live people on this forum?

kits Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Does anyone know the price of a MODDED xbox in bangkok and where to get it in there?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phazey Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 I was quoted 7k baht at mbk to mod my xbox - BUT i had to bring the thing there and leave it for a few days. instead i got a solderless x-bit mod for $40 and done it myself. Recommend an xbox with upgraded hdd (mine is 120GB) and install the games on that...one reason i did this is because 2 of my original disks failed in the xbox (old thompson drive problem) but making an iso and uploading to the xbox solved that. also got ab out 40gb of movies played with xbmc. ./P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
