Cheap Xbox 360 Games

Here are some cheap Xbox 360 games of note, having gone through the online bargain bin with a fine sieve. The criteria to be listed include having a price tag under USD 30, preferably compatible with the Asian version of the Xbox 360 and of course the game has to be in English.


Some of the games listed below do not have region protection (yay!)
  • Bullet Witch - Asian Version - NTSC-J ~ USD 24.90 (click here for details)
  • Moto GP '06 - Asian Version - No Region Protection ~ USD 24.90 (click here for details)
  • Perfect Dark Zero Limited Edition Tin Box - Asian Version - NTSC-J ~ USD 14.90 (click here for details)
  • Prey - Asian Version - No Region Protection ~USD 17.90 (click here for details)
  • Quake 4 - US Version - No Region Protection ~ USD 24.90 (click here for details)
  • Shadowrun - Asian Version - NTSC-J ~ USD 29.90 (click here for details)
  • Test Drive Unlimited - Asian Version - NTSC-J ~ USD 29.90 (click here for details)
So for the price of one "Trash Talk" from Datel, you can probably get one of the games listed above and for some of them, will leave you with some change to spare.

With so many Xbox 360 games available and the promising potential of Play-Asia's
bargain bin, you would probably be asking why have I not purchased that console yet? It's simple, I don't wish to be shafted by the 3ROD syndrome that is afflicting Xbox 360s worldwide. Therefore the Xbox is not in my list of must-haves this year... but I'll definately get one in 2008.

Hopefully Microsoft would resolve their hardware problems (with a new revision perhaps?) by t, as they are already giving Windows users the shaft on a daily basis.
