So after E3 I've decided to get a Xbox 360 since it seems to have at least a 3-4 year future, while the ps3 certainly also has a future it lacks one important thing, piracy.
Well I've found everything I need and where to order it.

Divineo for the connectivity kit and stuff for the flash
dealextreme for the additional gamepads and batteries
Xbox 360 jasper 60gb here in croatia

But since I'm kind of weeaboo i want a cool /jp/ like faceplate or at least an anime one. The best next thing i found seaching here and there was the ethereal sonata faceplate on ebay but to be honest that dosent look really appealing.

So the question is does /jp/ know where to buy weeaboo xbox 360 faceplates?

So far theres no way to play japanese regionlocked games on it yes, but hey there enough jrpgs on it translated,and there more then enough good games for me to be satisfied with the normal western games.
I dont even have the money for this one let alone a imported Japanese one. And i dont really speak japanese... and i can play jap games on my DS.

Also Blazblu is going to get a US release.

I dont know how to solder so thats a no for me, but yes you could install a modchip that let's you download a japanese firmwire and load it as a secondary OS on your xbox that should disable the region lock since you technically have a japanese xbax then.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jun 8 13:05:55 2009 No.2732671 Oh, you posted this on /jp/ so I figured you wanted to play idolmaster and shmups. Faceplates are a waste of money.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jun 8 13:20:55 2009 No.2732729 >>2732682 To use out of region software with a 360 you have to, rip the game to your PC using a modified 360, patch the game to be region free, then burn the game to a DVD.

>>	Anonymous of Croatia !na1byG1GU. Mon Jun 8 13:23:55 2009 No.2732740 >>2732729 So can this be done with idolmaster? Is there an already patched .iso somewhere out there?

It cost me 10,000 yen from Yahoo Japan. That's the only place you can get it from.

It is massively in demand, though. Expect to pay a minimum of $125 USD.

...there's none on YJP at the moment. Just the original which came with the Limited Edition: http://search.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/search/auc?p=%A5%A2%A5%A4%A5%C9%A5%EB%A1%A1%A5%D5%A5%A7%A5%A4%

The trusty bell one is on YJP. Two of them: http://search.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/search/auc?p=%A5%C8%A5%E9%A5%B9%A5%C6%A5%A3%A5%D9%A5%EB+%A5%D5%A5
%A7%A5%A4%A5%B9%A5%D7%A5%EC%A1%BC%A5%C8&auccat=0

One closes in 3 days, one closes in 2. It would be better to wait until they close, or you could buy it now for 8000 yen.

>>	Anonymous of Croatia !na1byG1GU. Mon Jun 8 13:44:55 2009 No.2732816 Well I found a much better solution. http://www.divineo.co.uk/cgi-bin/div-uk/360-ng3f.html http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/10728/Nyko-Ships-Customizable-Faceplate-Kit-for-Xbox-360/

>>	Anonymous Mon Jun 8 13:48:55 2009 No.2732833 >>2732816 They aren't official, though. I guess it's an option. Some of the custom faceplates are really nice.

>>	Anonymous of Croatia !na1byG1GU. Mon Jun 8 13:54:55 2009 No.2732857 >>2732851 Personally I dont like idolmaster, since I dont know japanese. Sure I'd play it but I'd rather play something like Mass Effect 2 or Fallout 3.

>>2732833
Considering offical ones cost from 25~200$ I'd rather stick with this print design. Sure the official ones are much better made and plastic instead of paper but I'm not some rich guy... as I said i barely have for a console and flash gear.

Also note I dont even have a HD-TV or anything i'll just play it on a 12 year old TV or on my LCD.
