Xbox Bargain Alerts (Games/Hardware/Accessories) MOD Note post #1

Captain Flaps

You won't get a fresh warranty but given the 1TiB console isn't 2 years old and the EU warranty period is 2 years, there's a good chance there's a decent whack of the original warranty left. Beyond that you'd be dealing with Amazon as a 2nd hand reseller.

Yeah I played it, think it's part of a bundle with 2 other games too thats discounted but not sure if the bundle is available here or not.

Game isn't bad, but no way I'd have found the collectibles with out help and a guide.

Edit : here it is €11 for the bundle https://store.xbox.com/en-IE/Xbox-One/Bundle/Instant-Indie-Collection-Vol-1/85f1372f-ffd2-402b-87a6-8b8bda6738b2

Yeah, it's the same except for the 3.5mm jack and improved bumpers.

It's been years since I've used one but they did back then for me. Any new cards being added to your xbox account gets charged >€1 temporary fee, just be aware of that in case you're cutting it close with the funds.

Sorry, I thought I deleted it.
I was looking on a German forum and saw the Xbox One 1TB version is €251 on Amazon Warehouse Deals in Very Good Condition

I've bought a TV from them with the same description, it came perfect as far as I could see, no blemishes at all, and came with warranty.
I didn't check the shipping on the xbox One.

I'm seriously considering this. Where would I stand warranty wise "if" something went wrong? Would MS Ireland look after me?

Missed out on this. Its been sold. Still available at €299 for a 1tb plus delivery new.

But that was €50 and I thought it'd go down since it was always that price

On average it's been 8 months after release date for them to arrive in vault, no guarantees tho.

Is it worth buying? Played the beta found it shallow, love battlefield but battlefront was very meh for me, full release much improvement?

Max Mafioso

It gets boring and repetitive after a while and it lacks a Storyline mode

Played the full release for a couple hours. Probably won't play it ever again. Very very shallow.

I pick it up and play for an hour every few days. Looks and sounds lovely but not worth the cost of admission overall.

Get it very cheap or not at all, i say.

What's the weather like this time of year in Colombia?. As it's been super cold every time I go over to Russia the past few months

Aye, a few weeks ago I bought Rainbow Suh Siege, shadow of mordor, battlefront and, because it was cheap, watch dogs.

What am I playing? GTA online, and at that, am largely spending most of my time stealing fighter jets and just zooming about the place.

When i go to Russia i use my Revolut card so there is no problem using it anywhere else in the world

EagererBeaver

Yup, I've used Revolut on holidays to Colombia and Argentina recently. Works a treat.

It's a country where many of us visit to purchase digital games.
