Xbox Gaming in South Africa

The release of the Kinect Star Wars game and the accompanying limited edition R2-D2 and C-3PO inspired 320GB Xbox 360 Kinect bundle has been delayed, and will no longer be releasing "this holiday". Speaking to OXM, Microsoft puts the delay down to extra work needed for the Kinect-focused title.

"Microsoft and LucasArts have elected to move the launch of Kinect Star Wars beyond holiday 2011 to ensure the full potential of this title is realized," a Microsoft spokesperson told OXM, "this move applies to both the Kinect Star Wars stand-alone game and the Kinect Star Wars Limited Edition Console. We will communicate additional timing information at a later date."

So no Star Wars console for X(box)-mas this year then.
