By the way adding this info not to fuel any fire but for our friend's(KillMachine) FYI....

 

Sony has officialy discontinued SixAxis controller production so going forward all PS3 will automatically come bundled with DS3.

 

So CAD when you are about to buy the PS3 you will not need to spend that extra money :scratchchin:

I would say go for the Elite if you can afford it. I have already down to 10.7 GB on my Halo 3 edition and thats without downloading much. If you plan to download extensively from Live, go for Elite.

 

But if you don't plan on downloading a lot of stuff, then go for the Halo 3 edition. Everything besides the HDD is same as the Elite. And the only thing extra is the HDMI cable which isn't too expensive in any case. Also there is a 8k difference between the two (26990 vs 34990).

man, theyre still selling 2006 consoles here!! no escaping the RROD for us Indians, it seems

 

 

 

peace

Ya we are the dumping ground for MS....The A**holes will not introduce Arcade here till they sell all core....bad bad tactics...

 

 

Redmond shits on india. x360 fanboys lick it.And then rejoice.

 

 

You should consider what you post here carefully.

Well i agree it was a bit abusive but dont you as an consumer as Indian feel cheated cos of this...I certainly do and ya i own a legitimate console which is not modded but i think that we all have been given a raw deal...

I was referring to Prasabhu's statement, not M$'s business tactics.

Okay, i want to play GTAIV badly and soon and i need to get a 360. And i am from Mysore.

 

1. Do i get a modded 360 (where can i get em) or do i get the a unmodded one? I love to play games but cannot devote enough time to them. I can play max a couple of hours per day.

 

2. Which version do i buy. There are so many i saw while browsing the thread, premium, core, elite, arcade, falcon .. !!!

 

3. Do we have to buy HD cables separately??

1. First of all. Getting a modded or unmodded console is totally your choice. But If you buy a modded one your console will be banned from XBOX Live, So you wont be able to play any games online with your friends or others. Since your are saying you wont have enough time to play. I think you will only play single player. So in that case getting a modded console will be a better idea. But then it is what I think. Also pirated games are cheap and you can play almost every game possible.

 

2. I suggest you get a Falcon XBOX 360 Pro Console. "Falcon is just the name of the chip inside" To identify if you are buying a falcon one then check the power of the console on the box. If it is written as 175W then your console is a falcon chip one

 

3. Yes

Are the falcons available in all the store or are they grey market imports ? A planet M is opening in mysore, i can go and check there. I think i will go for the unmodded one, Piracy sucks, (Except for torrent movies :) )

 

How much will the cables cost me? And could anyone tell me the approx cost for the Falcon model?

 

What are the prices and diff between the pro model and the elite model ??

1. Go for an unmodded one as the 360 has a high failure rate and only an unmodded one would be covered under warranty.

 

2. Depends on how much you are willing to spend

 

Premium- 18000 - 20 GB hard drive + HD cables - Falcon

Core - 14000 - No hard drive + SD cables - Falcon

Elite - 35000 - 120 GB hard drive + hdmi capable + Falcon

 

I would advise you to go for a premium.

 

Premium > Core (hard drive + hd cables)

Premium > Elite (Price + easy replacement)

 

Edit: Not a 100% sure about the prices
