IGN Original Post, While i maybe a PC gamer and this kind of news is more entertainment reading. My better half is more of a console gamer and she was really looking forward to the new gen techs that comes with both of these consoles. Maybe if we turn them up side down they will work. :P

Yeah us Aussies just need to raise a middle finger to the technology industry. I imagine some of that stuff will probably get patched soon enough.

That being said, I don't think half the countries internet connection is good enough to stream HD content as it is.

Thats Bad, but can be worse. In fact you guys are still lucky here in South Africa the PS4 only comes out on the 14th of December at a recommended price of R6300 ($630), and as for the Xbox One no release date has been set but it will be available in 2014, rumors suggest November 2014, price will probably be around the $700-800 mark.

I feel they could have nutted up and replaced "overseas" with "U.S."

Most of Australia has ADSL2+. I'm one of the lucky few with a fiber optic connection.

*sigh* Australia always gets hit with 30% more expensive hardware and games, and now this.

The Xbox One sucks anyway and the whole point of a console is to play games.

I couldn't agree more, I don't mind extras but playing games should be the number 1
