|
|
I picked up a Korean xbox from a friend who left the country and was pretty excited to get a current gen console for very little and ordered a bunch of games for it. After a month or two i got graphical issues and when I looked into the issue I realised that the xbox i was using was one of the earlier models and that they were notorious for breaking down.
I'm going to send the xbox up to the Mcrosoft service centre in Seoul ( I live in Busan) but hold little hope for it.
I'm wondering if it's possible to get only the console itself at yongsan market when i head up to seoul or possibly online? Would I be saving much money that way? I've got two controllers and all the cables etc. |

Isn't xBox region specific in its games?
That was a big reason that I went with PS3, lack of that. |

some games are, some not. if they are region specific you can just order off playasia...which i do a lot of times anyway for my PS3 due to the DLC issues you mentioned in another thread. |

MS might replace the main-board or give you a replacement if it's under warranty.
However, don't get the box repaired by a shop. It will break down again, guaranteed. I repeat, don't get it fixed by a third party repair shop...you won't get more than 5 months of life out of it. |

No longer under warranty, MS won't fix things for a fee? |
