South African Xbox 360 gamers will be well aware of the fact that Live is not officially supported in South Africa by Microsoft, meaning that most of us that game online have had to use overseas addresses and had to jump through quite a few hurdles to be able to play online. One drawback has been that many of us have been unable to use our credit cards online as the billing address and the overseas address we had to use to sign up for Live differ and leads the card companies to think someone is fraudulently using our credit cards with the result that the cards become blocked on Live and leave us unable to buy points or renew our subscriptions. One way around this is to buy Microsoft Points which you can then use to buy Live memberships and XBLA games. Getting the points is another tricky job with some overseas sites selling them via email but you always run the risk of being scammed at some point or another, which is why I was glad to see the local launch of MSPoints.co.za which is a venture by two long time local gamers, Denouncer and SeV3R7 (both involved in Xboxgaming.co.za) to make MS points available to local gamers at a good price and as fast as possible by emailing them instantly. So if you’re a South African 360 gamer be sure to stop by their site and support them. Its definitely great to see local gamers working together to better the gaming community here in South Africa and I wish them all the best for their site. I definitely know where I’ll be getting my points from in the future
