You can get an Xbox One S in South Africa right now

12 December 2016
Xbox One Slim featured

Takealot is currently offering UK-imported Xbox One consoles to its customers.

The console which still has no confirmed local pricing or release date can be purchased from the online retailer for R4,999 and will include a downloadable copy of FIFA 17.

The deal also carries the following caveats that may be a deal-breaker for some:

Please note, no local warranty will be offered on this item.  You will require a UK plug adapter.  This item is a warranty item and warranty exchanges can take up to 20 weeks.
It seems like a pretty good deal, which may turn out to be cheaper than official local prices when the Xbox One S launches in South Africa. Takealot currently lists an Xbox One S bundle pre-order with Gears of War 4 and Halo Masterchief on for R5,999.
