[Acid]

Does anyone know where I can find Gears of War for XBOX 360 in SA. All the most popular sites still have them on order, and I can't wait that long!!!

Do you know this oke? You have to pay him so that he gives you a site's name where you can buy the games from. Sounds a bit dodge...

 

[Barfish88]

I just read that myself. I wouldnt pay that oke a cent. selling a web sites name. btgames say it will be here on the 17th only 4 days to go.

Plus you get a free T-shirt...

 

[flipmo]

why do t-shirts you get with games always look like their intended for 5 year olds...??? i normally use them to wash my car...

is it chipped ?

Nope its a region free game (so i have read) meaning you can use USA or EU on your 360

@acid :but saying that the only way you can have it sooner is by ordering from a US website DHL ftw,thats if they have stock,We as per usuall still sitting in the stone ages have to wait a little longer for ours.

 

[Acid]

Ya, looks like you don't have moola to buy decent shirts.. Or couldn't afford the game so all you bought was the shirt!

Then why do u get a US and UK Version?

[flipmo]

afaik...us versions = not playable in south africa...uk versions = playable...all depends on where you got your x360 from...heard of countless people who got their consoles while on holiday in the us or japan...they get back here...cant find any playable games...it all involves pal and ntsc...

you could always download and flash your dvd rom for free and then buy the R150 versions. saves you R 300 to give to telkom. but dont blame me I dont even own a 360.

Flashing

Then you probably don't know that if you flash your firmware you can't play on xbox live...

No thanks, would rather wait for another few days!!!

 

[Barfish88]

just giving my 2 cents. I do know that if you flash your firmware you cant go live. the only reason modding is so popular in SA is cause of the prices of the games. I personally blame telkom.
