will an xbox machine with 250 mb purchased in europe play games sold and rented in lebanon?
many thanks

If we're talking about genuine games, then yes, PAL games should work.
slipr
is modding necessary to use games that are "floating" around lebanon? where can one get that done affordably?
many thanks
Nabs
Anybody wanna pick this up, fellows?
slipr
thanks, i am in europe and can pick one of these up cheap. its gonna be pal, comes with 250 + 2 games. so ill suck down the live membership and then mod. question is, is it possible to rent unpiratted xbox games in pal format in beriut until i do the modding?!?!?
tnx!

Most original games here are in PAL format. (which sucks for my non pirated NTSC xbox) I don't know any shops that RENT games but I know Virgin sells them.
I would personally stay away from modding. New generation games means new xbox mod means new mod ever 3-4 months, which sucks. You'll be paying 20,000L.L-$20 depending on where you do it. I would stick with Gold membership and one or two original games, playing online never gets boring! But if you still wanna mod, I'd recommend Console Kingz in Jounie. Message me for the location.
You can find NTSC, Pal, and Free games most of the times on pirated versions. If they're not in stock most of the "big" shops will burn it for you depending on what you need. There's also a mod that removes the pal/ntsc restriction and lets you play anything but I'm not experienced on that matter. Gave up pirated xbox years ago.
Hope I helped!

ninio and najjar are both 300$ for 160gb. nino is offering warranty; is that worth anything, will he honor it if your machine has a fault???
AVOlio
There were offers at christmas holidays.
The new super slim PS3 500GB +2 controllers + FiFa 13 for about 450$-ish as i remember.
Also, every known places like Sonyworld/Virgin etc... offer warranties .
I have no idea about Xbox prices though.
slipr
tnx! i can pick up the xbox here with 2 games and 250gb for 250$ or come back there and get the ps3 with 160gb with no games. if pirated xbox games are available in Beirut id like to know about that but nobody has been able to comment yet!
AVOlio
Yea there are pirated games, but its not that simple obviously to get them working. You have limited choices in games.
I mean, you have to pick up an xbox with a software version that has an available mod for it, bla bla....
Also, like DarkeNeo said, you should consider that not every game is playable, mostly the recent ones.
slipr
spoke to scc Avolio, they claim to have hundreds of game options for xbox and all the necessary mod options.
AVOlio
I prefer that you wont buy a consoles from SCC.
Because first, they have no warranty.
I bought my first PS3 console from them, it got damaged, they asked around 140$ to fix it.
And second, mostly all their consoles are NTSC.(Which is maybe that they have no warranty here).
And you wont find Original NTSC games both for Xbox or PS3.
Another also, again like DarkeNeo said, you should not mod your console. just get original games.
Beleive me, i was the kind of person that would never have spent a 60-80$ for any game. And i did get a modded PS3 from SCC, and it was so booring, so later on i just formatted the PS3 hence removed the mod and everything, and started playing online in every game i have.
slipr
i was going to pick up the xbox in greece new in pal format. 150 $'s then mod it. i like playing games through and scc says that online gaming is no issue. in any case with avok's masterful help i am inline for a rig this summer from canada. perhaps it might compare to yours in the end avolio...
AVOlio
Well yea, get a gaming rig, even better.
I havent even turned on my PS3 for months now, after i got my rig. Its actually not even plugged in.
Also i havent turned Off my rig either, after i got my rig ! xD
slipr
thing is i am a full time over there. i have a lot of shit on my plate this semester so i just want a crank machine to juice up and pile drive and then forget before i teach again... btw, the money i am saving on a rig here in europe or lebs will more than pay for the xbx and the rig in canada so its all good.
