Cindy White, Xbox 360 Group Manager, has thanked local gamers for their support and told News24 that they're "100% committed to bringing the service to South Africa".

"The Xbox team is currently working to an international roll-out plan for Xbox Live. South Africa is included in this roll-out, however we are unable to confirm exact dates for availability and functionality at this stage," White told News24.

South African Xbox 360 gamers created an online petition on Monday to get Microsoft's attention to launch its Xbox Live service here.

Xbox Live is a subscription-based online gaming service for Microsoft's Xbox and Xbox 360 consoles. It allows players to play games with or against other Xbox Live players from around the world.


Yay! :bow:

wicked :D

this should work out cheaper

But we want tangible facts damn it! Not promises. By my calculations, if the 550 peeps on the petition sign up for live at R50 a month, that's over R27000 a month to cover costs, which should be ample, even for local content servers. Right now I'd be happy without local content servers, I just want to be able to buy subs and points in rands.

Firm dates would be good.
They also said they would launch the XBox 1 here. I'm still waiting.
