of course it happens.
some xbox 360 games are region free.
for a full list of region free games search for
xbox-sky regional compatibility guide on your web browser.
cheers

datniggaAk
from what you are saying i can only guess you get your games from ANOKING.
well his prices are too exhorbitant.
my advice is that you should get someone to buy and bring them in from the states for you.
that way you will only spend like N7k.
give it a thot and lets frustrate these greedy game sellers
cheers

i am not a seller but i could help you out.
i have this customer in sharif plaza sells for exactly this price.
his shop is on the ground floor of the wing that faces tantalisers.
just after the staircase (if coming from aminu kano that is)
just get there and ask for chijioke (the guy that sells dvds)
he has 2 ps3's for sale there.
good will gaming!

nkc:
lungwun, u dey play game,

i wan buy ps3 , its been a while, and i need only 2 games, nfs and burnout, and i am good to go

i hear they have a new 80gb model, where to buy, is d wahala, u gat ideas

Oga Nkc
you never hear say na me invent gaming?
name it, i have played it. i will be getting a ps3 soon
but its the 40gb not the 80gb
and if you want to buy the 80gb, just dont do it in abuja
cos the average price is like 80k.
if you know anyone in the states, there is this Mgs4+80gb ps3+ dual shock 3
bundle going for approx $540 at circuitcity.
so it could be bought and sent for you at a mere 70k+.
which of the burnout are you interested in?
and which nfs?

well all i can say about the car is that the kia picanto can
now hold its head up high.
i dont know whether this is better than the tata nano.

well my offer is N200k.
tho i dont think i can fit into the car, talk alone drive the
car without removing the drivers seat

I cant even buy this car for my 13 year old sister!
look at that thing!
we nigerians buy a lot of crap!

I kinda thot the golf gti looked a bit different
the front grille is all wrong.
this, to the best of my understanding is either a match or an s.
1. the GTI's trademark honeycomb grille is not on this model
2. the 3 spoke racing steering wheel is also absent
3. as this is an automatic model the DSG is also missing
4. the chrome foot pedals too.
5. the silver GTI on the steering wheel, grille and the rear are absent
so therefore it is only fair for me to say this is not a Golf mk5 GTI.
but one of the other lower trims.
cheers.

justbones:
i'll call u when i get enough cash. cause the 360 with me only plays burnout

ironically i just got burnout paradise.
cool game but not like all the others.
expect to see it on this thread for sale in a few days.
cheers.

will do so now.
although i feel if i were to customise a car it should be my dream vehicle
a mitsubishi lancer evo X.
kai that car dey give me fever.
i wonder why there are not so many petrolheads in naija.
291bhp and 300lbs of torque
all from a turbocharged 2000cc engine.
I am in love.

Chair!
some roads for here no too pure o!
after going for some site inspection of one lazy job i was given, i begin
appreciate the jeep

Where have you guys been all my life
i once put up a thread requesting information but got no reply.
@ autographics
whats your facebook id so i can search for you and add
mine is Tay Gyer
@ nkc
this goes for you too.

i basically feel coming up with such a gross generalisation is the uncoolest
thing a lady can do.
tho i got a hint for you
why dont you change the thread to
'My nigerian guy cannot french kiss'
that would make more sense
dont get me started on what ladies cannot do.

fotodaddy:
No mind them!!!! Na so them go they talk. Alternator no mess up, Water pump no mess up, Fan belt and timing belt no mess up, Battery nko. I hear una!!!

If na so toyota for no dey do new model na, as who go buy am since everybody dey use them own. Story!!!

now here i was thinking you were a reasonable guy
what will i gain if i come on naira land and post a lie!
if you lived in abuja, i would have tracked you down and allowed you take
a proper inspection of my vehicle.
infact my mechanic always calls to ask if the car is still good cos the only thing i go to him for is
pads and servicing.
only recently i noticed one of the rear shock absorbers might be going bad
and i have only changed them once.
thanks to abuja for having such nice roads (well basically)
for the rougher roads i have my american muscle (ford explorer)

vowiski:
Metal Gear Solid 4 is a breathtaking stealth shooter with heart, and one of the best games ever made.
If you don't own a PS3, well, chances are you will buy one soon just to play this game.
PLAY B3YOUND!

it should be.
i have absolutely enjoyed every instalment of the game
as a matter of fact i still own original copies of 1,sons of liberty and snake eater.
just a shame that when i want to finally buy a ps3 i will buy one without backwards compatibility.
(sigh) snake will be so lonely without me.
and yes i am buying one just to play this game
at least for now.

texazzpete:
You claimed you've already pre-ordered the game. Now tell us YOUR experiences with the game.

if he preordered it he should actually have it by now

i'd like to place the emphasis on 'potential'
hey the ps3, to the best of my knowledge is a far superior machine that the
360. so i do not see the reason why we argue over which is better.
My annoyance with the ps3 is why it has it not blown the 360 out of the water
with its blu ray, wi fi, motion sensing pads, hdmi output. and i finally got the
answer.
the ps3 is for the guy that says 'hey i've got a big games console that can do it all,
but i do not have a wide range of exclusives (and grade AAA) games to make it hot
but having all those specs makes me feel good'
i feel sony should get thier asses back to the drawing board and give true gamers
what they want. which is good games.
fortunately, microsoft does just that.
sony might get a huge sales boost in this period because of MGS4 but come october/november,
it'll be the 360's turn.
i just feel sony can do better than this offering.
hey they are the same guys that gave us the ps2 and they should not base the future of thier machine on
technical specs.
take the Wii, why has it sold so much? because nintendo retraced thier roots and remembered
that games are all about fun not teraflops per second.

omo we no dey try for this country at all
a real good one

justbones:
don't u got other games?
but your prices are a bargain

in about a month from now i will be thru with army of two and ninja gaiden 2
will put those up for sale when i am done.
i get my games at N7000 each so i feel its only fair to sell at the prices i quoted.
cheers

I want to thank you all for all the advice given in my past situation
i would take insurance into consideration when procuring my next vehicle
one advice tho if you see naija police convoy, comot from road

nkc:
blacky,

u did not need to go that far

first thing u shld understand is that u said car is in uyo,, so if am leaving in sokoto , abuja or where ever, i shld fly to uyo, to see d car, hell no.

what u shld do is have them snap nija pics in that uyo, if d pics r appealing, then someone can risk the flight to d said area, or if it were u, u will just fly, so have your peeps there snap nija pics, simple or does in uyo, will buy d car.

hope that is ok

you took the words right out of my mouth

I am extremely surprised to see that you are a white guy.

abeg show us the real picture if you really want to sell.

well since you are in the uk i cannot for sure say what we can do
but hows this for starters.
this is my e-mail address
lungwun@yahoo.com
and this is my phone number
08036371621
maybe we could work something out.
cheers.

nice thread
but i will also use it as a medium to praise toyota
my toyota carina E
year? no idea
mileage when purchased 172 000
year purchased october 2001
mileage now 321000
no engine troubles, just the occasional service and brake pads
going to have to upgrade very soon
but i have grown soooo attached to the car
i wasnt even affected when my brother bought one in coventry for £400
she has been so nice to me.

are you sure?
in that case my bad
but then if cod4 looks that good then,

once i play mgs4, that will be all for the ps3 for now
and i hear the 360 will get another price slash at e3 2008

DVD Player?
i had that piece of crap ware in my car a while ago
its a nikkai and it thinks its a dvd player.
mine packed up after 4 months
now i call it an fm receiver cause it no longer plays dvds

Dedax:
AHHH! icemann, abeg no vex!
Lungwun, thank your folks. to say you follow icemann enter that place, walahi you no go post this gist. Next time call boys make we blockthem for road. but that Louis Edet house runs , Nna, na NLC, Soyinka,UNHCR all them NGO's get that kind runs. Walahi, thank your folks. Just face your GTA IV. our country go better.

Otherwise Jenjun, Viperman and co fit get you moto wey be say if convoy see am, na them go chill. until then, or when police dey begin get small sense "protect yourself"

nothing do you my brother
just got the quote on respraying the car.
i just dey wonder why i no go NDA
i for just gather my boys go recreate darfur for louis edet house

vowiski:
texazzpete not again.
thought we gone through all this before
what kojima meant;
ps3 wasnt able to handle his project then it would have died in the 360.
you want a 50gb game in a 9gb console (4 plates or more. lol)
MGS4: FINISH the fiGHT.

Dude where in the world did you hear that the xbox 360's hd-dvd drive had a capacity of 9gb?
hell even dual layer dvds support up to 7.xxgb
get your facts straight dude.
this just shows you are not a true gamer and are only interested in facts on paper

you say ps3 has hdmi outputs and full 1080p
do you own a full hd lcd?
if you do i would like you to point out the visual difference between 1080p and 1080i
well i got something for you
why is it stated that resistance 2(the former being the launch title of your console)
will only run at 720p?
i am this close to getting a ps3 but do not for one second think i will ever say it is an outstanding games
system
and dont get me started on the pads
well at least dualshock 3 is here tho it took them a year and a half
to discover how to add rumble to their pads.

total bollocks!

I cant believe the level of oppression we have to live with in nigeria.
i have heard it has happened to a couple of people but i never believed it would ever be my turn.
On my way home yesterday evening, on shehu shagari way, i heard sirens of a
police convoy coming up behind me.
true to the norm i swerved to the extreme right to alllow them pass.
the first bike passed, followed by a 406 the last car however was a ford ranger pick up truck
(registration number withheld for security reasons)
on overtaking me, the ranger swerved and broadsided me
(in what i would call a scene straight out of action movies)
making me jump the road divider and stalling my engine.
enraged i started up and gave hot pursuit.
the pursuit came to an end when they turned into louis edet house.
i would have followed when i was adviced by my folks not to follow cause
it would all be blamed on me.
now i am going to have to panel beat and spray the whole right side of my vehicle
you cant imagine my anger!

well all that calmed down when i got home and shot every policeman i could find in gta IV

ok let me admit the car looks, okay
but what is the practicality of the vehicle and what will be the running costs
except the car runs on water and the engine somehow extracts the hydrogen from water.
if not only the stinking rich will be able to afford the car.
isnt hydrogen highly combustible?
expect up to half of them exploding in the first year of its release
whenever that will be.

@ nkc
na true you talk
and we never wash your queen o!

in a reply to the poster,
have you seen the new mazda 6? really cool looking ride.
wasat the unveiling at the abuja auto fair and was told it goes for around 4 million
here is link to the pic

nkc:
well in summary of all various features,

both cars have there good points, very strong points i might add, they r fine cosmetically and otherwise

but for d sake of my oath, i would prefer the Vw Passat 2008 To The Accord, The Accord Finishing To Me Is Not Top Notch,For Little Details But They Worry Me,Lol

bless you.
i thought i was the only one that felt the styling was a bit strange.
and it overall looks too plasticky
and it probably is

UPDATE these games are gone as of today
perfect dark zero and halo 3
though taking their place is
burnout paradise - PAL - N5000
Gears of war - NTSC - N4000
Tom Clancys Rainbow six vegas - NTSC - N3000
Tom Clancys Ghost recon advanced warfighter - PAL - N3000
all prospective buyers hurry up! the rest will soon be out the door.
cheers.

oga viper.
as the current driver of a ford explorer
i would say stick to the ford
but thats just my opinion
the freelander is more of a lady's car,
the suzuki is as boring to drive as getting your hair cut.
