Thailand Xbox 360 Gamertags

[Ian_B]

Now that the 2nd wave of 360 games is here hopefully there may be more folk with a 360 here

If anybody wants to play an online game sometime please add my gamertag to your friends list

My gamertag is: Bangkokian

I'm usually online around 7-8'ish and at the moment really into Ghost Recon:AW (GRAW)

GRAW is by far the best game out there right now

With GRAW already here & Elder Scrolls out next week now is the time to get a 360

Waiting for GRAW to come to Phuket, Also Elder Scrolls as well.

I found out today that EA Xbox360 games are now only 1490 Baht, I bought Fight Night 3 and Burnout.

Just got my Jap XBox from MBK a few weeks back. Been having quite bad problems with lag though on Xbox Live. Burnout is mostly playable and GRAW is ok if i only play on the fast servers although i do get kicked out a lot and i seem to lose the one on ones more than i would of thought. Possibly due to lag.

Tried playing DOA4 and Fight Night live and both of them have terrible problems with lag. I'd like to try playing against someone in Thailand to see if there is any improvement.

My gamertag is Bangkok 512. Anyone on Live feel free to add me but i've just left Thailand recently to work offshore. Be back online in around 4 weeks when i return.

Hi James, I have those 3 games - I will add you when I'm next on the xbox.

I rarely have lag problems her in Phuket, I have a fixed 256kbps line though (VDSL) so the ping is crap but the connection is fairly solid.

Gamertag is JJDinsay, does Halo 2 work with XBox 360? Been waiting for halo 3 to get it but seems Call of Duty, Perfect Dark and Burnout seem worth it to make the purchase.

Halo 2 works perfectly as long as you use the component cable and not the VGA cable

I use the VGA cable and am unable to play online matches due to and issue with the PAL 50Hz frequency. Single player is unaffected however!

Don't forget about all the small Xbox Live Arcade games too... have spent hours with Geometry Wars

Finally going to front the case to buy the XBox 360. Can anyone recommend a good shop her in BKK to get it? Also, will it play US games? I'm not interested in chipping my 360 (not even sure if U can). I heard that games, like with the Sony PSP, won't be region coded. Any advice?

thanks

MBK or Saphan Lek are probably the best places.

Personally I'd get it from MBK as Saphan Lek can be a nightmare to get to due to traffic

Have only seen Japanese 360's here but I have not looked that closely (I got a UK one at Christmas whilst visitin the folks). Likewise nearly all the games are Japanese here but they seem to have english language text etc

There is no true modchip yet, but in a few months I think there will be one.

At present there are firmware updates to change the bios of the DVD drive to allow backup games to run, but these are not region free and it sounds like a very complicated process and can easily "brick" the 360

[solo siam]

Yeah mainly Japanese ones available, the games are NTSC-J for the Japanese market but I have never witnessed even one piece of japanese text on any game, once you select the lamguage on the 360 to English, everything is in English.

Japanese games are also cheaper than I imagine US imports to be, EA games sell here for 1490 Baht.

[Phil Conners]

Just out of curiousity - how much is a 360 in Thailand (ca) ?

[kruudontrii]

I just requested to add all you guys on the forum. My name is "all is nothing".

I've also got a few xbox 360 games (2nd hand) for sale in the classifieds if anyone's interested.

Cheers!
