No "Out the Box" for XO Early Adopters

While South Africans have just over a month to wait for the launch of the PlayStation 4, word of the Xbox One arrival is still forthcoming. Release dates and pricing for the new Microsoft console have yet to be confirmed.

It will be launching on the 22nd of November at a price point of US$499 in other areas of the world... but there's a little problem waiting for those that are eager to get going on their new Xbox One. It won't run anything... at least not until a day one mandatory system update has been performed.
