Ok, so I was just informed by my friendly GameStop employee that video games are coded so that they are region based. Since I am moving to Taiwan I was wondering if there was a way around this.. IE getting a US copy of games to work on a Taiwan based XBOX. Or is this guy just full of shit.
Also- I have an iPhone, how easy is it going to be to jailbreak it so that I can just transfer it to a Taiwanese carrier? Or is there another procedure I should follow. My limited knowledge of these things makes me believe all I'd have to do is buy another sim card and just load all the shit I have on my itunes to the new sim card. Is it going to be more advanced than this?
Thanks in advance.

He's right about the regions. Buy a US 360 before you move there. Overall much easier than dealing with the regional hassle.
iPhone will work worldwide. Get it unlocked and you should be good to go. You may or may not have access to 3G in Taiwan though since I have no fucking clue how their service is.

I've heard plenty of stories about customs officials taking peoples shit apart piece by piece. Especially in the Middle East and Asia, apparently it's like the fucking wild west when it comes to laws. I'm thinking about just ordering one on ebay once I get there (US version of course). |

That's true, I'm unfamiliar with customs, so that would suck. Ordering it would be ideal.

Can you have someone send your Xbox to you once youre there?
