We're lucky it's not too late, but if you live in a country that isn't one of the 21 countries where the Xbox One will first launch, you better wait with your purchase/preorder as the console won't work outside of those mentioned countries.

That is false.

Unless they deliberately block IP, which would be stupid.

Are you telling me they will block based on IP address!?

YES.    if not why there should be "supported countries".  That is why the XBO is region locked.   It is like movie online services; if you live in a country not supported by the service you get nothing.  And all this services check for your IP in order to determine your country.
