Quick Update: GTAIV DLC Blocked in SA

Just a quick post for any of you who are still wondering about The Lost and the Damned DLC for GTAIV, it has been confirmed that the DLC is indeed blocked for all South Africans, meaning that we probably won’t ever have access to the expansion, well, not without the use of a VPN.

Once again, this really sucks and us South African are left behind. All of you who specifically bought the Xbox 360 version for the exclusive content must be feeling a little bit let down to say the least.

Microsoft are the lost and we are the damned.

    hmm.. Wonder how long it’s gonna take for MS to recover that $50m exclusive price, seeing as a large portion of their “illegal live” customers will be affected by this.

    Interesting. If anyone cares enough there should at least be a misleading advertising case opportunity here. GTA-IV was definitely sold in SA with the understanding that there would be DLC later.

    we should make a list of 8 ways Microsoft rip they’re customers off in 3rd world countries:

    1. Completely over price they’re accesories and consoles
    even though its just $199 for the arcade

    2. Promise Live. And giggle yourself to sleep thinking they’ll never get it

    3. Make sure there are no accesories they can afford

    4. Make sure there are some games they can afford (Hype them up so that they cant continue living without playing it)

    5. Denie them mjority of DLC and laugh as we see their IP getting blocked one after another.

    6. Promise them the NEW XBOX EXPERIENCE… NOTE: But make them beg for it.

    7. Make sure there arent always xbox’s in stock to replace the hardware failure ones.

    8. Give empty dates to demands they want.

    9. Sleep at night knowing i ripped more people off than a raving beggar
