My 360 died just before GTA V came out and I am going nuts here. And I am also broke right now. Luckily, I was smart enough to start saving up money for my bad times but dumb enough to access themfor a new xbox which I am only going to use for a single game. F*ck it though, GTA > Life.

So, my sister's gonna be visiting Canada in the next couple days and it's the cheapest option that I ask her to bring one for me from over there.

My question, can it be carried without anyone bugging her at the airport? It is a big ass box. Does all that customs jazz apply to such stuff if carried personally? Should it be put in the luggage or carry-on?

yeah ofcourse.. just tell her to pack it in her luggage safely etc... i dont think they would bug her if its inside her SUITCASE etc but if shes gonna hand carry it and if someone sees it than perhaps they might ask questions or try to get some money but many ppl bring as much as 2 or 3 and no duty gets imposed on it so far..

So should I tell her to put it with the luggage? Doesn't it get thrown around carelessly?

You can carry it without any trouble.
But due to the world nature.
Tell your sister to put it in the suitcase alot better.
you know, pakistani's.
those people out there got big doubts...

Tell her to open the box and remove some of the packaging , as customs will be applied to new items

it would be better if she can carry it in a hand bag or something, not a good idea to put it in luggage, my FAT ps3 has survived more than 15 journeys(Europe,middle east etc) from one place to another, the key is to keep it in your handbag..

in my last 4 trips to karachi ive personally brought over 25 cell phones and 3-4 laptops each trip.
and even when travelling alone without my wife or baby they never care... 2 of those times they even had me open luggage to inspect for contraband.

your sister can bring it easily without any hassle. i go on international travel every month and i take stuff too.
just tell her to keep the xbox in her luggage (without any packing). just take out the xbox from its box and remove all packings etc and simply stuff it in your clothes (hand carry or luggage)

this precaution is just so that the pakistani customs dont bug you. if you bring an item like this you can easily justify that its a personal item :D
FTW!

heck i brought a printer to pakistan like this :D

Junaid bhai, kindly clear up two more questions for me. Should it be put with the luggage or in the hand-carry? And is it okay to bring it as it is with the box or do I tell her to ditch the box?

Well honestly speaking, the box can be unfolded and can kept inside the luggage. If she opens it and brings it, they will not stop her, if they do, you can always say its " personal " use and secondly, they do not stop families. So no need to worry.

hand carry will not be good as they might force to put in the luggage. Just securly pack it and all set to go. If she is coming to Pakistan , karachi ? Advice me her passenger name and number via pm and i assure you hassle free gaming once she reaches home !!!

Ciao dude :)

    BTW, i started Ghost of Tsushima, and it got me hooked within the first couple of minutes. I already know It's gonna be a memorable experience. This is how you make a proper Samurai game. Not that SJW game Ubisoft is making.

    That's still higher than it's total play length. A 5 hour campaign for a $50 game is downright scammy.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
