Preordered the Xbox One

Do you require a converter for the power brick?

That will depend on what they release, it could be a universal 100-240VAC brick or it could be a US only 120VAC brick. The xbox360 in the US has a 120VAC only brick so you have to replace it with one from a another country if you import/move.

The One has the same power connector as the 360 so maybe you can use a 360 brick if the ratings match but I doubt it.
 
Anybody know what the SEGA Spectrum is yet? If it's an console like predicted, I will go for that and get one of the PS4 or Xbox one after all the bickering is done.

I HIGHLY doubt SEGA will be entering the console market any time in the near future.

Haven't you heard? Anyone that views the Xbone in any positive light whatsoever is a fanboi :rolleyes:.

Yeah, will need to see when it arrives. When I shipped a Wii from overseas when it came out I just used a 220v - 110v adapter.

Hey I'm just kidding dude :D. I really don't car one way or the other about PS vs MS war.

I myself will be getting a PS4 because I think its a great console but that is just my opinion. If that makes me a fanboi then so be it.

When is the Xbox One going to be marketed in South Africa? You won't be able to register it either without using a VPN and does it use the same point system as the current Xbox Live?

Nope from what I understood is that the xbone is everything else first then gamers where the PS4 is core gamers first then everything else.

unfortunately your understanding of the XBO is not true dude, sorry to say but ya they gave xbox users and reason not to get off the xbox yes it has all that features but they focused mainly on the gaming this is why the graphics ram and cpu was placed if it going to be everything else first then a quad core and 4 gigs of ram with a mid market graphics card would be fine to do everything and still play games at a lower rate but playable. why put so much effort in to a console (mainly bought by the gaming community) and make it for watching tv... as i said before it is an added benefit not the main reason for the console the conference they did where they showed it wasnt a full reveal it was to get that benefit out the way so that the gamers at E3 could see the main idea but because the internet is filled with half witted idiots they had to recap on the concept about the DRM system and as you saw at E3 the games looked awesome. and the fact you can background matchmake as well as running multiple task while waiting shows why the xbox had to bring out that feature of tv so that you dont lam and wait for 2-5 minutes in a lobby waiting for gamers to come or waiting for friends to join the party. so yes xbox doesnt only accommadate for gamers but for the other people in the house or eg my impatient behavior... where i do multiple things while waiting for a game or waiting for friends
