Xbox 360 coming next month

Only 16 months later than America, the Xbox 360 is due to launch in SA next month. Yipee, I’m sick of hearing about all of these great games and not being able to sink my own teeth into them. The launch price is set to R3,699 (So I won’t be getting it right away) – start saving, or hold out for the PS3 – but that could be a loooong wait. If you want the latest news regarding this hop along to xbox-360.co.za.
I hope that Xbox Live is as good in SA as it seems to be everywhere else.
On a side note, check out the comments on this post about the launch… sometimes it still shocks me that a lot of people think we have lions and elephants walking in our back yards.

Shit man, that’s hectic. Yeah, most of everyone I know has one over here in London, and when I was in LA last year November people were getting their hands on them.
You should rather get a friend to get you one over here or something. It might work out cheaper? The full-on setup (the good one) is about £280 as far as I know, and the crap one with no hard-drive and no wireless controllers (…otherwise known here as the ‘tard pack’) is only like £200. But don’t get that one – it’s crap, as the name says. Hehe.
But yeah man, they’re awesome – you must have one!

That’s what I’m gonna do… luckily I have an aunt in London who sends stuff to SA monthly so I can have the xBox hitch a lift.

Haha, it’s unbelievable how ignorant people are…
Funnily enough, our cellphone networks are far superior to those in the US, they only started catching up in the last year or three! Third World state of affairs, I tell you

Yo!
?!
Hold tight for PS3 though. November 17th isn’t that far and if you can’t purchase both, compare them (in practice, NOT theory). I rate, as has been the case in the last 10 years, Sony’s console will get better support – because Ster Kinekor and Sony share a bed – whilst the Xbox 360 will pull the same “we’re close, we’re close, f*ck, there they go again! Damn Japs!” stunt again. I’m more hyped about the Wii though, even though Wii don’t know when to expect it. How funky is that controller

Sweet!
Myself and Rich…! just copped ourselves Xbox360s over the weekend and I can honestly say it is that business! Fun times! Oh, and as for that small matter called Xbox Live, Sony has it’s work cut out to deliver a better online Service. Microsoft Xbox on Sony Bravia…match made in heaven
