I heard that Microsoft is releasing a new version of the Xbox. Said to have multimedia features, built-in camera, and a few other features. Well, we'll check to see if its worth the hype, though Xbox was the bomb. I guess that's why Nintendo has postponed their release till next year.

I wonder where we would be able to get the Xbox 360 in Nigeria. And I wonder where one can get the current XBox systems, too. My brother had to get his Xbox from outside the country through a friend ...

Yeah i've seen the video of the release, looks pretty cool

I don't know if you can buy them in nigeria as it doesn't look like microsoft have a distributor there

the new xbox should be available by the end of the year if reports are to be believed. can't wait to get my hands on it!

There is Microsoft Nigeria but I don't know whether they handle anything else other than software piracy.

They also donate software 'worth millions of naira' to NGOs and Government Bodies! (source: Technology Times)

Yeah, I noticed that at the airport actually all the machines were running windows xp which is normally very costly to purchase for so many machines.

Heavy!!!

Yes, it's 'heavy', but when you think about the amount of money they could get if they could get all companies to pay up on windows and MS Office licensing fees you realise they are doing something important (for them)

considering microsoft office premimum (the ones corperations buy) is about $1000 (N100000) for us to purchase you can see why piracy is rife.

Hence the beauty of open source. I have been using openoffice.org for a couple of years only needing to go back to microsoft office in order to use microsoft access. With the new openoffice beta 2.0 though, there is now a database program that at first glance seems as good as access. As of today, I dont have microsoft office on any of my windows machines, on my linux notebook I run openoffice. And how much does openoffice.org cost? ZERO, ZILCH,NADA, compared to paying close to £400 for a microsoft license.

M$ sucks. sony playstation rulez even among the open source community. if u don't already know, check out:

i expect something similar for the PS3. the kit was out of stock before i had a chance.

It's very expensive but very useful.
