Ok so I live in New Zealand, lets get that straight.

My friend is giving me a deal, hes offering me an American 360, Halo 2, Halo 3 and 2 controllers. All I have to do is trade him NBA 2K9 and Fight Night Round 3 on PS3.

Ok so what I'm wondering is will the online work? is it worth buying games off Ebay?

Thanks

Im fairly sure it isnt faulty.

But the online should work right?

You have to purchase an xbox live gold card to play people on xbox live.

The format might be different. With the American 360, you may only be able to play NTSC games, not sure how it is in New Zealand, but I'm going to guess you're PAL, and you won't be able to play those games on the American 360.

He could, but I don't know if the Xbox would be able to run it. Its just like DVD players only playing discs from the region they were made for.

if u buy an american 360 u basically wont be able to buy any games from any NZ stores, unless u know that game is region free. otherwise ull pretty much need to get every other game shipped

Very good deal for you. It ends up being cheaper importing games and XBL does work. I moved my US one to Au and tried it. Congrats man.
