Xbox Gaming in South Africa

Microsoft has announced that the glossy finish of the current 250GB Xbox 360 S console is being phased out, with all future Xbox 360s rolling out with a matte finish, like the current 4GB version. And let's be honest, it's probably a good thing.

Don't get me wrong, I love the shiny, high-tech look of the glossy Xbox 360 S, but as anyone with a tendency towards a obsessive-compulsive personality would attest to, it's a real fingerprint magnet.

If you just must have a glossy finish then you best order one now before stock runs out, or look out for some of the limited edition consoles coming out this Holiday which will still have a glossy finish, such as the Gears of War 3 console and Kinect Star Wars console bundles.
