My question hasn't been answered ..

@ hammad800

my cusin is also saying that everywhere is ELITE even in carefour..

 

[hammad800]

Why is there a shortage of arcades in dubai ? I want an arcade not an elite ..

@syedshahzad786
Do let me know if your cousin is able to find an arcade (jasper).

 

[syedshahzad786]

^

ya bro i told him and he said he will visit again for jasper and i told him if he finds then check the volts of jasper.

so i m thinking that DUBAI walas hiding JASPER as may be they know that usually peoples spend money before eid and many paki go to homeland on eid with X360 so thats y they are showing elite..or may be some other reason...because as according to my cusin price check he said elite 120gb was around 26k/..

^ its not the case as about the middle east market they usually try to sold teh old stock rather than putting the new stock on the shelves. Same happnd to my cousin he asked the sellers why is this he said we dont want to pile up the old stock thats y we put the old stock up first than put the New stock.

Mainly Following FIFO order.

I've asked my brother to get an xbox 360 arcade (PAL) from dubai since my last one died. I already gave him the hints on finding a jasper, like the lot no. , power rating and manufacturing date. But he's saying that he can only find elites at most of the places including carrefour. Now where the hell is he supposed to find an arcade (jasper) in dubai ? Because i don't want an elite.

Tell him to check VIRGIN in City Center for Arcade.
Yaar actually the Locals of Dubai have extra money so they prefer buying high standard things.Even my friends in Dubai also go for Elite.But pro and jasper is also available.
Actually i am prefering these two shops because they are recognized internationally and they cant do fraud.

Yaar actually you are little late.Recently Dubai Shoping Festival finished and they have lots of cheap stuff especially Electronic items are very cheap.I always prefer to buy things from there.

@hammad800 and @syedshahzad786
Here is a way to get your hands on 360 Jasper and play it through Eid.One of my cousin is nowadays in Abu Dhabi.He know everything about Jasper identification and might help your relatives to get Arcade and Pro also as he has many contacts in Abu Dhabi.So if your relatives can visit him in Abu Dhabi I might give you his contact number and let him guide your relatives.Hows that

@ arafat

Congrat dude u got ur jesper.....Please give full detail

 

[Em0s]

for 24k yesterday. did i get ripped or what?

24k is a bit expensive. U must have used ur negotiation skills

 

[XecutionerX]

^don't rely on their word.. The shopkeepers have 2 prices, if you're a serious buyer you'll get the higher price and if you're just querying, then they'll tell you the cheaper price so that when you make your mind up a day or so later and come back to buy, then they'll say the prices have gone up!... Such fraudsters!.. (Infact there is a certain uk consumer protection act which specifically prohibits such dealing and it must be applicale everywhere else in the world, except our beloved country!)

 

[arafat]

yeah i guess u are right, since i totally suck at bargaining and excitement and enthusiasm written all over my face, they thought i was the perfect bakra, lekin i m glad k i have a jasper at least

What's the current price of XBox360 NTSC -Jasper ?

Yesterday I went to Saddar to Electro Deals and inquired about the XBox 360 price. I was told the Arcade was availble for Rs.23,000/= & with a 20 GB Hard Drive will cost Rs.28,000/= which they will have it done. Is that the correct price? I didnt inquire whether it was a PAL or a NTSC . But let me know guys what's the right price and which shop does one recommend where a 360 Jasper - NTSC is available in Saddar? The Pro version I was told was well beyond my budget , at Rs. 38,000/=. Please help me out here.

 

[Gizmo]

Pal versions are available for 22k and he's charging 5k for a 20gig HDD? You can get a used one for about 2-3k.

Yes , he did say extra 5k for a new 20 GB HD. But whats the price difference between a PAL and NTSC? and which shop is better between the two....Electro Deals or Bismillah? ...as far as not getting ripped off is concerned?!

 

[Game Addi]

bro rather than buying from market goto PG store u will get gud price dere

Thanks but I would rather prefer the store. My question still remains unanswered. Plus can anyone tell me whether it is mentioned on the packaging that is a NTSC- J?

 

[Adam]

if it says region 3 on the back of the box then it's an Asian NTSC-J console.

 

[Fari]

Thanks for the reply man!
