Xbox Gaming in South Africa

Behold, the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 limited edition console. It's just like your Xbox 360, except it's got a 250 GB HDD, a different colour, and it comes with a copy of Modern Warfare 2, and apparently that's all the difference between regular and battle-ready. Oorah!

"It's the highest compliment to the team and our fans to have a special themed Xbox 360 console," says Vince Zampella, CEO of Infinity Ward. "The precision and detail that’s been put into the console captures the intensity and feel of Modern Warfare 2. We can't wait for our community and fans around the world to see for themselves on November 10."

Around the world, maybe, but not in South Africa. Local Microsoft go-to guy John Press has told XG that we won't be getting this bundle, and that we can quote him on it. So we just did. The first casualty of this war is a broken heart.
