You should be fine if you have an account with Nedbank, or if Nedbank don't have you on their systems at all. I think I'm my case there must have been some cross share info when I used 22/7 or whatever it's called. They pretty much told me I need an account to buy from the store. Useless.

The cherry on top is you need to FICA.

It's quite easy to see if you are a lucky one. If you can sign up, log in, and create a wallet, you are home free. I had issues at ever step.

As of late I am able to log into the app without getting any random errors, and that is saying something. It is advisable to go through the process via a browser or failing that, via the app, since they seem to have various levels of stability.

Buying it via avo also nets you R109.99 in avo credit that can be used towards your next purchase, or prepaid electricity/airtime etc...

Sounds like some uninformed pleb as they have no idea what they are on about. Initially, having a product with them caused me more issues than for the accounts I created for peeps without any Nedbank ties.

I see some Xbox pass games are also available on iOS/iPad . Is it possible to play them on mobile?
 
We got a Samsung TU7000 58" 4K TV for Xmas. Sadly its only HDMI 2.0 so no 120 fps.

I must say I'm surprise at how well the Series S upscales to 4K. It handles 60fps quite well and the extra size of the TV makes me wanna play in the living room now more than ever. For the 1st time I can also see what the fuss is on about HDR.

Did I mention this thing is huge? Coming from an old 1080P 42" its really odd to play on this monster. Love it.

Def would recommend for people on a budget.

Uploaded some racing screenshots here as MyBB doesn't allow for 4K images to be attached

Edit: Sidenote we still fighting over access (Gaming vs Movies) :)

HDMI 2.0 will do 120 FPS, just not at 4k. As long as your TV supports 120 Hz...

Which being an S perhaps dropping it to 1440p and 120hz will be better

The TV only supports 1080p @ 120 or 4K @ 60.... no middle ground :(
That is why I pick 4K @ 60 and letting the console upscale. <-- best looking option.
 
Got some more Series S 4k pics here

If you zoom in the crowd in Grid they look real bad, odd thing is when playing on the TV 1.5 meters away you barely notice it (doesn't take away from the game) In fact I would say 4K mode looks better than when I set the console/TV to 1080p.

Then again I also don't have the games on a true 4K console to compare so enjoying it none the less. <-- all that matters to me.
