Please note this excludes South Africa. South Africans may not even have the most basic of apps like Skype (At least the last time I checked) (if this changed please post so here).
South Africans must pay more for their XBox Live Gold service and have less functionality because third world countries suck and it's a lot of bother to make things available for them. In fact we don't like Africa at all, we think it's too hot and wild.
Eh or something along those lines. It's actually not bad but I would have loved some of the things that the US customers get.
