Reap the benefits of Microsoft's Xbox One U-turn.
One of the nicer consequences of Microsoft's much-trumpeted Xbox One-80 is that the console is region free.

Which is available now from all self-respecting newsagents and some non-self-respecting newsagents too. You could even buy two - one to read, one to be seen with.

"I was like 'Let's do this. This is easy.'".
Trey Parker and Matt Stone can always be relied upon to tell it like it is, whether that means poking fun at Microsoft at its own E3 conference, dressing as J-Lo and Gwyneth Paltrow to attend the 2000 Academy Awards, or giving a straight up 'eff that' to the idea of DLC content in their upcoming RPG, South Park: The Stick of Truth.
