Starting this week, Xbox South Africa is teaming up with its local retailers to offer 50% off a 12-month Xbox LIVE Gold subscription with any Xbox game or console purchased.

Xbox LIVE brings an unbeatable entertainment experience to Xbox 360. Connect with friends, download and play games, and access a huge library of games in an instant. Xbox LIVE Gold members get the V.I.P treatment, allowing you to play games online with friends or family in your province, your country or on the other side of the globe. Gold membership gets you early access to game demos, exclusive discounts, Facebook and Twitter, and more.

Visit your nearest Incredible Connection, Musica, Look & Listen, CNA, Hi-Fi Corporation, Dion Wired, BT Games or Makro for this Xbox LIVE Gold membership special, while stocks last.

This might push me to finally take the dive! Might grab it when Gears of War 3 arrives…
