Question Re Play Asia

I've seen quite a few people taking about the bargains on Play Asia, but

Are these legit games?
Do I need a modified 360 to play them or will a standard machine play them?

Thanks.

Fully legit though obviously you need to check that it's a region-free
or pal release. The only downside is that you won't get quite as much
for it as a uk release should you flog it.

Just to add to that - they have a separate 'Region Free' section. Anything
from there will be fine.

Unless you take them to trade in at Choices, where they are apparently
oblivious to imports. They gave me 20 quid for my Play Asia copy of Saints
Row a few weeks back. The till-monkey was puzzled why the barcode wasn't
scanning, so he just entered it manually.

Yes.

Not for the Region Free ones, no. Not all games are Region Free, but the
listing for each will tell you.

My computer runs at 3.5MHz and I'm proud of that

They'd hopefully be better than the beer...

Aye, Carlsberg is at it's best when approached from a desert, having
survived a plane crash the previous week.
