Xbox Gaming in South Africa

Microsoft SA has confirmed that we'll be be seeing a local release of the Splinter Cell: Conviction Special Edition Xbox 360 Elite bundle, available from this Friday for a recommended retail price of R3,499.

The bundle includes the elegant black Elite console with its 250GB hard drive, two controllers (although the press release only mentions one), the standard headset and a copy of the eagerly awaited Splinter Cell: Conviction.

If you're in the market for a new gaming console, this looks like a pretty good time to get in on the action.
