Xbox Live in SA...

I'm due to return from London to Joburg in a few days.... since I've been here I've loved playing on Xbox Live and I live for COD 4 and 5!

I want to know what exactly I will need to set myself up at home in Joburg so that the killing doesn't need to stop! (on the game obviously, I'm all for a crime-free joburg!)

Over here I have a 20 meg uncapped line... great I know.

At home I think I could probably afford a 0.384 or a 0.512 telkom adsl line, or perhaps a wireless Vodacom account.

What is best?

:confused:
 
lol! i have one... but i might have to leave it in england!!

but i understand there's a competition mygaming is running so... holding thumbs!

cool, thanks for the advice.
 
xbox live in SA. Not yet. But were actually led t believe Microsoft is planning a server for SA. A friend of mine India says Microsoft India says the same to them as well. So it probably a generic response
 
You should be just fine with your Xbox, an 512 or less ADSL and the same Xbox Live account you used in London.
 
Does anyone know how bandwidth intensive xbox live is in SA and is it playable with our connection speed? I dont want to blow through a 3gb cap within 5 mins of pro evo game

Not gonna happen... I've picked up that if I play Gears of war on LIVE for about 4 - 5 hours, it takes as little as 100MB. This is can be 5 times as much if you host.
Not sure how intensive PES is, but I FIFA never really hurt my bandwidth.
 
I cant wait to get my Gold account running again... What is the cheepest rate you guys know of for a 12 month US account?

The cheapest I've seen them is on gamepointsnow.com - you get 13 months for 31.95 GBP (+/-R462) OR 1507 Zim$ :P
Take2 is a rip off. You can't get points locally really.

I read an article that we don't have XBL because we don't have sufficient broadband... SEACOM?
