Xbox Gaming in South Africa

Microsoft has announced that all-new versions of the Xbox 360 Wireless Headset and Xbox 360 Media Remote will be out in stores worldwide this November.

Along with a stylish revamp, the new Xbox 360 Wireless Headset now includes Bluetooth, so it's compatible with Bluetooth devices such as mobile phones and PCs in addition to being able to connect to Xbox 360 through the console’s standard radio frequencies.

The Xbox 360 Media Remote also gets a new sleeker look, giving you full control over your Xbox 360, Live TV channels (through the Xbox 360), and even the ability to power on/off, change the volume up/down or mute the TV itself. For ease of use, the remote also includes A, B, X, Y buttons, D-pad navigation, back and select buttons.

While local pricing is still to be confirmed, the new Xbox 360 Wireless Headset with Bluetooth and Xbox 360 Media Remote is set to retail in the US for $59.99 (R450) and $19.99 (R150), respectively.

Update: A Microsoft SA representative has confirmed over Twitter that the Xbox 360 Wireless Headset with Bluetooth will be available in South Africa on 30 October for R799 - nearly double that of the US.
