I read somewhere that you should receive it within a month of migrating. Not necessarily immediately and that it wont be 1600 points either. Its up to 1600 ms pts based on how much content you have previously downloaded/bought.

ah, thanks.

haha, my favourite part of this article.

“Hey, it’s totally cool that you’re charging us 33% more for less, and I love the way it feels in my bum.”

It's like Microsoft SA never wanted to do this, and still don't want to do this...so instead they make a half-arsed version and charging more because we are all inconveniencing the lazy buggers sitting in Randburg so much. Blah.

I'm not migrating my account and i'll most likely migrate from the Xbox platform entirely to a PS3 instead. Sony at least seems more interested in South Africa than Microsoft ever was.

The way what feels in your bum?

Yes it looks like the Media Update is NOT available for Xbox Live ZA region.... I get the prompt for a download and select update then get "Blank" Xbox Live Screen ??

At this stage...Kicking myself for not doing research wrt which Region to join for Xbox Live... Would rather migrate to US / UK

My first Xbox and thanks to the Kinect Sell... Kinect is awesome.... Also believed/"hope'd" that the Kinect interface would work everywhere including Media Centre, Like the idea of no remote... Also wondered if the Voice Control would have worked with Media Centre on Xbox..... But have not seen anywhere where you setup / use voice yet?

Was hoping to retire my Popcorn Media Player and have "One" device but does not look like it going to work like that..... Also the Popcorn works fine for Internet TV / U Tube / Twitter other apps... etc

i think we going to end up in a "chicken and egg" situation. where Microsoft wont release more content on live unless more people join and people won't join ZA XBL until they offer more content.
