The day has finally come – Xbox One is launching in South Africa tomorrow (Tuesday 23, September), so MenStuff is here to help you prepare mentally, as well as get those fingers, warmed up ahead of the console’s release.

Firstly, local retailers BT Games and Incredible Connection will be hosting midnight launches, so those who pre-ordered the consoles (or want to take a stab at going and buying one tonight) will be able to go and collect their Xbox One units.

If you’re willing to wait until it arrives at your door, we’ve also rounded up the best pre-order deals for the Xbox One, so you get maximum bang for your buck.

What options of console bundles do you have? Well, there is an Xbox One standalone console, which includes the console and controller without the new Kinect camera, saving you a fair bit.

The standalone Xbox One includes:

500GB Xbox One Console
Standard black Xbox One Controller
14 Day Xbox Live Trial

The other bundle includes the Xbox One Kinect camera, and there are also bundles which come packages with one or two games (some boxed and other digital download codes). Some retailers, such as Kalahari, are touting their exclusive bundles, which feature packaged extras that other retailers aren’t offering just yet.

And finally, if you pick up your Xbox One this week, what games are there to play?
