alright so i'm a noob when it comes to this stuff but this june i'm moving to usa for good and i was thinking of buying a 360 and a ps3 before i move, since my cousin said it might be cheaper here (provided i know where to look), i already know that the region codes differ but if i buy say an ntsc-uc 360 and a region A ps3, is it 100% guaranteed that it'll run all the games over there?

Firstly, it's blatantly stupid and idiotic to buy consoles from here and take them to the States, let alone the region issues.
The consoles here are much much expensive. Get it from Amazon or sth once you settle in the US.
And yes, the games of the particular region are a 100%.

The only viable thing to do could probably be is getting a RGH-ed console from here and taking it to the US for pirated games.

As someone who lives in the US.... and MAKES A PROFIT by bringing systems/cells/electronics over in my luggage during vacations to PK....

SYSTEMS ARE HELL OF A LOT CHEAPER IN THE US. you would be retarded to buy ANY SYSTEM, CELL, or ELECTRONIC in PK

for reference.... i bought a GALAXY SII for 300 USD for my uncle a month back.
During BlackFriday... XBOX 360 4GB WITH KINECT was 150 USD + 8%tax
PS3 160 GB 150 USD w/ 2 original games

During sales.... electronic prices are DIRT cheap compared to PK

that is what I plan to do when I go for college.
All mod services can be done locally in USA for 20-40 USD (1700-3400 rupees)
ITS WORTH it to get a US one and have it modded

    Alan wake 2 is yet to recover it's development costs. Due to no physical release and no steam launch.
    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
