Cheap 360 On Ebay

[Reventorghini]

Hey everyone, if anyone would like a shot at a cheap 360 (I started it at $.99 +$15 shipping) I'm trying to get rid of mine since I have so much studying to do and desperately need gas money so I don't have to walk ten miles every day.

I read the Gen Discussion stickies before posting this so I don't think I'm breaking any rules.

We all know the price is going to rocket through the roof when the end nears. I get all excited when i see stuff for like, 1 cent. then i see it's got 10 days left, so i leave it nd its at 200 bucks at the end! (wireless router)

Not thirded. Have you two even considered region coding?

Nice pricing though. I'd be interested if it wasn't so expensive to import games for it.

if it is still under $100 on the 29th or 30th I will bid on it.

I've been wanting to extend my auctions to Europe for a long time but some lady I know that used to do eBay said it's a bit more complicated. I'll try to look into it today and tomorrow though and post again if I find anything.

360,NDS,PS3,PSP and wii are all region free devices due to the fact that more people now a days complain about the region encoding which is why places like australia have DVD players that can play any region DVD

Actually, this is a NTSC Xbox 360, you won,t be able to play PAL games.

Crucible is right.

Edit : Just read the auction

Format:
NTSC (N. America)

You must be confused a little, so let me straighten this out for you a little.

America is designated as NTSC - Region 1.
The UK and Europe is designated as PAL - Region 2.
Australia (and South America) is Region 4.

Only hardware designated as Region 8 will play any region-coded software regardless of its flag. And while it's true that the models you've mentioned have some SOFTWARE designated as region free, the hardware itself is not - thereby meaning only certain region-free software will work on any console regardless of location.

For example: you have an NTSC X360. However, you'll only be able to play NTSC games and some region-free games - not, as you believe, any game regardless of its region coding. There are lists of these region-free games online if you're curious. The same applies to Australia - Australia is by no means region free.

I hope that helps.

i was pretty sure all the new consoles are region free but ok i know for defint that NDS, wii are and basically every DVD player in australia are region 8 encoded but hey if i was to get the 360 all i would have to do is order games from the usa no big deal i do that with most of my DVD's as i have a region 8 dvd player from australia

Nope, Wiki says quite clearly that Australia is Region 4. Believe me, dude... I did the math. But it's your call, don't let me stop you.

I WISH the 360 and similar consoles were region free. I'd be importing so many games from Japan!

The only imports I can play are SNES, GC, Saturn, PS, N64 and DC..

Apparently it would cost like $50-60 to send it to Europe (and I'm not one of those scum bags that tries to profit on shipping costs)... I think that's why I was told I shouldn't bother with it.
