Yeah get the Jasper Xbox 360. As for playing pirated games I can't recommend it. Playing online is the heart and soul of this new consoles. And pag nagmodify ka there is a high risk of your console getting banned from Xbox Live.

For Xbox 360 the best version is the Asian version (Singapore/HK/Taiwan) kasi Asian games are cheaper than US games. Its also 220V na so no more AVR needed.
