Panthelon Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Hi Guys, I'm badly in need of an X360 NTSC/US console. Not sure from where to procure one. Would be of great help if anyone of you can point me in the right direction. Thanks, Ranzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthelon Posted March 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 u may find an NTSC-J one in the grey market....not so sure u'll get an NTSC-U one? but why do u want NTSC-U and why so badly? peace I alrdy have an X360 NTSC/J and now i need a NTSC/U Console, coz i made a mistake of purchasing a DDR game bundle (had to spend 7k for this including 2k for customs, bought it through PA) thinking it was compatible with my console, only to find out later that it isn't. But that game was actually meant for my wife and now she is clearly disappointed about the fact that she is unable to play the game. Her birthday is nearing so I thought I can add this console along with her other gifts. If anyone can help me in getting one, that would be just fantastic.

Further to my request, can anyone give me a link to any UK website which sells NTSC/US consoles, i know it's a long shot but i have a friend in UK right now who is about to come back by the 24th..

Babyzelda Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Simple go to ebay.com Find a seller who would ship to India, ask if he would mark the packagage as 'Gift' and declare the value at about 159 USD. If he says ok then ask him to ship it by USPS EXPRESS (will cost you about 60 - 70USD) would not take you more then 5-7 Working days to have it Check the link below and you'll know how quick it works, http://trkcnfrm1.smi.usps.com/PTSInternetW...m=EH036507284US Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you mentioned, the only shipping method viable right now is USPS Express as UPS costs about $240 , i mean the console i've chosen costs $235 !!!!! BabyZelda, Please let me know if USPS Express is a good option coz, IMO, they don't have complete tracking facility and what if customs is slapped on this as the seller declined to declare the value at $159, but they are ready to mark it as a Gift.

Panthelon Posted March 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Hey Guys, I've at last found a suitable console for myself through ebay. But now i've got a technical question for you. What kind of power brick would I be getting along with this console (NTSC/U)? and also will I be able to use this in my house without any step-down transformer? If I will need a Step-down transformer, could you please suggest one for me. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babyzelda Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Panthelon, USPS EXPRESS (7 business days) should not cost you more then 73 - 95 USD (Depending on what part of the US they live in) Who is the seller? Some of them end up consfusin UPS and USPS so do check. And about the power brick like some other folks mentioned that should not be your problem you can easily get yourself a step down convertor or even buy a Indian powerbrick from someone here or maybe some Microsoft Dealer if they are willing to sell it to you. And lastly try get yourself a falcon and if you do that do check on some forums if you can use an Indian power brick as the new Falcons have a 175W PSU Regards P.S USPS EXPRESS is completely trackable look at the example I gave in my first post and if the seller isnt' willing to mark it as 159 just ask someone else there are loads of them who know the in's and out's of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAK Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 ^^ how do you know which one is a falcon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babyzelda Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 A lot of guys on ebay mention it also I guess most consoles (Pro and Elite) made after Jan 2008 are falcons but do verify. But on ebay like I said most people mention the word if they are selling one Regards Check these ebay item numbers on ebay.com "110239529814 ; 230236582819" The guy selling the second one also ships worldwide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ceoshubham Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 @BabyZelda: You seem to be anexpert in customs so If i order from layasia using free shipping n ask them to NOT include an invoice does that mean that no customs would be charged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daedalus Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 even if the invoice is included, most prolly you wont have to pay customs. btw PA always include an invoice, max they can do is put half the value of your item on the invoice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceoshubham Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 But if i like request them not to put an invoice will they accept it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
