Xbox Gaming in South Africa

By now everyone knows about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and you all know that 10 November is the official launch date. The more eager among you will have put in leave at work for the week, or started to cough and sneeze near your boss/parents in order to secure a 'sick day' tomorrow. Good thinking. Those of you who can't wait until tomorrow morning will be lining up at various retailers across SA tonight, waiting for the clock to strike midnight. For those eager beavers, we thought we'd fill you in on the midnight launches which will be going down later this evening.

If you are in Roodepoort, Games Xetra in Wilrogate Shopping Centre are having an evening of entertainment, braaing and gaming, as the clock counts down to midnight. Be there at 8:30PM.

For the rest of us, BT Games has most of the country pretty much covered, with midnight launches at the following branches:

• Gauteng
  • Northgate Shopping Centre
  • Clearwater Mall
  • Fourways Mall
  • Eastrand Mall
  • Greenstone Mall
  • Eastgate Mall
  • Brooklyn Mall
  • Menlyn Shopping Centre
• Kwa-Zulu Natal
  • Pavillion Shopping Centre
  • La Lucia Mall
• Free State
  • Mimosa Mall
• Western Cape
  • Tygervalley Shopping Centre
  • Cavendish Connect Shopping Centre
  • Somerset Mall
• Mpumalanga
  • Highveld Mall

Please note that the planned midnight launch at Zaps Games in Randburg has been cancelled, so don't go there, you will be very lonely.
