Xbox Gaming in South Africa

Picture it - you're sitting at work, compiling a TPS report, when you suddenly realise you just have to have a remote controlled Warthog accessory for your Xbox LIVE avatar. What do you do?

a. Cry, because you're at work and your Xbox is at home.

b. Go over to Xbox.com, and queue your purchases over there.

c. You're not yet ready to admit that you want the remote controlled Warthog accessory.

The answer, of course, is - as of today - option b. That's right, the browser-based avatar shopping experience has arrrrrived!

So has the Games on Demand marketplace, actually. But since we can confirm that it's region blocked [Ed: Yes, I actually tried to buy Rockstar Table Tennies for R270], you might as well forgot about the whole thing.
