I know what you thinking: This guy must be high or retarded. Or both, because Xbox Live definitely does not stink. And ya, you’re probably right.But at least allow me to explain.

If you are reading this from the States or the UK or one of any number countries Xbox Live is really sweet. If however you are South African like me, Xbox Live is like that really hot teacher you had in high school. She’d wear low cut tops and tight skirts and bend over alot. And man you’d stare and you just knew you were missing something really hot. Plus, she recently graduated from University, so she wasn’t way older than you and you’re thinking: I may just have a shot here. As soon as you try and sign up, though, it’s sorry you’re not my type.

What i’m getting at with this crappy analogy is that South Africans know how awesome Live is. We read about it. We hear you guys yuk it up on the forums and we want some of that to.

So we try to sign up. And bam!! Sorry not available to South African.

But its cool. We tweak our settings, pretend we’re from the UK, give a fake address so we can sign up and then enjoy our free monthly trial of Xbox Live.

And. It. Is. AWESOME.

Until the trial expires. So we decide we’ll pay up, ’cause man that Xbox Live is so worth it. But ’cause we pretended we were Brits we have to pay in pounds sterling. The exchange rate is not favourable.But there are a few rich schmucks who can pony up that coinage. I, however, am not one of them.

Simply put: Xbox Live stinks, ’cause i cant have it.
