It is almost as if they are trying everything to not give us these maps

Couldn’t one argue that since we aren’t getting the free stuff everyone else is getting our copies should be cheaper to compensate for the lack of content?

They are cheating us.

Eh so what, we don’t need a local service…
It’s great having to pay exchange rate fees and have content blocked.
I would think this is just more proof of why MS SA should bring us a local service. Cheap b/\$t/\rd$!

i swear i’ll move to ps3 if MS keep this crap up and i’ll take all my friends with me who have purchased xbox on my recommendation.

Lol, well i’m over it – Rather than focusing on the maps I don’t have and playing with a bitter taste in my mouth just accept it and enjoy the rest. It sucks yes, but it’s not worth getting so upset bout.

There is what 10-20 thousand xbox owners in SA? probably makes little sense to bring the service to us and because they don’t have the service they can’t legally provide the content.

Then why can Sony do it? What is wrong with Microsoft?

Until live is supported here there really is no point in expecting to get Live content, complaining about not getting these maps is the same as complaining that we dont have Netflix. At the end of the I’m sure by complaining on sites such as hello peter and so forth and causing such a stir ovber thesew things is only hampering the efforts of the Microsoft officials that we do have working for our cause, at the end of the day we really all just need to relax and be patient, rolling out live in SA is no where near the top of the list for Microsoft but they will get there eventualy meanwhile we should just be happy that we have access to the service at all, let alone alot of the DLC available there. So please just be happy with what you have as Microsoft could lock us out of Xbox live if they wanted to, so stop with the complaining already and let things take their course.

+1

Maybe locking us out of live right from the beginning would be preferable. Then most of us would have rather focused on the PS3 and we woul not have had any of this irritation.

Lets face it man, MS are dangling a carrot in front of our faces and laughing at us all the way to the bank. MS don’t care, you bought their console they have your money – the end.
I wanna work for X-Box SA so I can do nothing all day too!!

Of corse they are doing us a favour, they could easily block our ips from connecting to live altogether, payment or not, it’s a service we dont officially have access to. I can’t say that Gamefly should send me games from the US just cause im willing to pay for the service.

Do you really think, that a week after rolling out the NXE they have nothing to do, do you really think that leading up to the launch they sat around doing nothing? You are sadly mistaken.

I have a 360 Elite and no NXE Guess why???

Because there is no way as yet to get the update
without Live! Name one game that has the NXE on the
disc?

Lol, I got bigger problems – my xbox failed (only 6-months old) and now I gotta wait for SA suppliers (u know who) to get stock… which of course is taking forever – apparently I won’t get till next year – so much for holiday gaming *screams in head*

I’m with you on that one.

will let you know when i get right
