Hi, im hoping to be in Korea by the end of the month all things being well.
Im looking at buying either a Xbox 360 or PS3 along with a new ipod(as im not bringing my CD's or a stereo system. I was wondering first of all am i best buying here in the UK or in Korea and second will i be able to change the menu's to English if i buy in Korea.
Cheers

new ipod touch 32gig �310 on Amazon and 489,000won in Korea, maybe �120 cheaper. But that seems a ridiculously amazing saving so I might have got it wrong, have a look for yourself. I might just be going mad.

Don't know about Xbox but I guess cheaper in the UK at the moment as they have recently had a price cut. Anyway, if you want to keep it and take back to the UK, you would want a UK model unless you want it chipped or something. I just brought my UK one with me as I would want to buy UK games when back home

tax is included here. the ps3 is 388,000, (before the recent price drop?), all of the apple products are sold at the same price as on www.apple.co.kr . I bought the ps3 here, you select the language when you first turn it on. i haven't purchased the ipod yet

quite a few games are region free. check out play-asia for getting games.
I brought the xbox over in a laptop bag, you can usually bring one laptop bag and a rucksack as carry-on. Luckily my gf didn't have her own laptop, so I was able to bring that and the xbox, just with her carrying one.
