Xbox Gaming in South Africa

Microsoft has officially announced the Resident Evil Limited Edition Console, which includes an exclusive red Xbox 360 elite console, along with a few other goodies. It was all but confirmed with Microsoft New Zealand inadvertently mentioning the upcoming red console in a press release, as well as appearing in a leaked Toys R Us internal product catalogue only a few days later.

The bundle is expected to be available in all major regions, including South Africa, but should be noted that supplies are "very limited". Personally I'm not so sure of the logic behind applying a colour that Xbox gamers have come to despise to the whole console, but each to their own.

Colour aside, the bundle is a great starting point for any newcomer to the Xbox 360. You'll have everything you need, as well as a top class title:

• Xbox 360 Elite Console with Exclusive Red Finish
• Matching red wireless controller
• 120GB hard drive
• Resident Evil 5
• Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix
• Exclusive Resident Evil Premium Theme
• Xbox 360 black wired headset
• HDTV-ready component HD AV, HDMI and Ethernet cables
