The Price Of War In South Africa
GamerD | 12:33 PM on 06.08.2008 3 comments


In most of the world the consoles are priced as follows in ascending order of price:

Wii -> Xbox 360 -> PS3

But not in South Africa, the prices are as follow:

Wii = R3399 ($434.44)

Xbox 360 arcade = R1999 ($255.50)

Xbox 360 pro = R2850 ($364.27)

PS3 = R4499 ($575.03)

Theres is also no local XBL , or Wii service. Though there is a fully functional PSN. Though bandwidth here is so expensive it doesn't matter.

So in South Africa it makes no sense to buy a Wii.
