most cell phone and or computer stores will do the repairs on site as well as sell game copies.

You have to have them install a chip that is about 15,000 colones to play the 2.000 colones copies that are readily available.

There are also plenty of cubicles in the malls that will do this. I would suggest the Carriari mall or Mall San Pedro rather than Multiplaza as things tend to be much more expensive in multiplaza

I can't think of anywhere specific... just take a look around. For example, your next trip to the grocery store look around the shopping center. If there is a computer or cell phone store in the shopping center ask if they do anything for xbox.

I cannot remember specifically but I think there is a place near the Taco Bell in Escazu.

I also don't know exactaly what area of escazu you live in

Can't tell you where I live in escazu since I don't know myself :oops:

I have only found two places here. Multi plaza and a wal mart

Is it near one of those?

Off course it is. The OP is now a resident of Costa Rica. You might find it hard to believe but residents as opposed to tourists do have a real life besides a monger life and turn to other things rather than sitting in a bar swapping war stories to fill in the gaps. :lol:

Do you buy any sports packages online through your xbox. Thinking of buying one or a playstation for football season.

Forgot about this thread during the day. Will check with the guys in the office on Tuesday, a bunch of them are gamers. Gdizzle, I will definitely make sure and check out what it takes to make packages work. Not sure why there would be a problem if paying, I wonder if you have to trick the site by faking an IP address from the States.

Yeah. You can get any of the services if you setup a dsl or cable modem/router with a vpn with an american server.

Netflix, hulu. Ect. Can all be run this way. Of course with the crappy internet in CR it may not look that good.
