    5 options, all 230 GBP approx 270 EUR

    All above also contain:

    Is this a good deal or could I expect better for Black Friday or Xmas run in?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51 ✭✭donegal12


    Would like to know this also.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,505 ✭✭✭xtal191


    Its a great deal, its possible there will be better deals on Black Friday but nobody can say for definite.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,492 ✭✭✭Sir Oxman


    It's an excellent deal for sure

    If all you wanted was a cheap console, sell the games (95e for both approx) and the 2nd contro;l;er (35-40e approx)


    Approx 270e for the bundle minus 130e approx for selling off games and extra controller = approx 140e for a 1tb xbox one s

    that's at Currys bargain level (Currys great bargain was 125e for a 500gb)

    I don't think it comes with a second controller?

    Its optional instead of the digital game bundled with the consoles.

    As sugarman says, there are 5 bundles inc a x2 controller bundle

    Great thank you, I might get that bundle with the 2 controllers and sell the 2 games to cex as it's for my kids. It says one if the games is exclusive to Amazon, can that still be sold to cex?

    yep, that would be Assassins Creed Odyssey Limited Edition , for both physical games I think CEX pay 93euro at this moment.

    Just looked at kids lists. They wanted fortnite. It's 60 euro in Smyths. Is this the cheapest to put on this console?

    Fortnite is free. You just download it to the console.

    Really? Is it a different version for sale in Smyths? So no real need to buy the fortnite bundle Xbox. Just get the normal one and download it? Thank you.


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 4,672 Mod ✭✭✭✭Hyzepher


    The versions for sale are merely cosmetic add-ons such as skins etc


  • Administrators, Computer Games Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 32,669 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭Mickeroo


    Would the paid version not include save the world which is the actual game believe it or not? People only really play the free battle royale add on.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,492 ✭✭✭Sir Oxman


    Xbox bundles with branded boxes usually contain that game on the box picture as a digital download via code


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 90 ✭✭Alligator Wine


    Looks like a sweet deal, was looking for an Xbox, Red Dead + Assassin's Creed anyway. Would this fit in the regular parcel motel or would it be sent to oversized?

    I can let you know tonight as mine is scheduled to arrive today.

    The only thing to consider is, they're sending the console and the 2 games separately, so you'll get hit with 3 charges for Parcel Motel

    Will fit , got three bundles over last two days, both S and X. Games will be separate so you will be charged for three parcels.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 90 ✭✭Alligator Wine


    Annoying that they'll be sent as 3 separate parcels but glad it won't be sent to oversized. Will have to eat the €12 charge.

    Most kids play the battle royale which is free to download. Kids will like roblox too... free and tonnes of games inside

    I've a lot to learn with these consoles. I am going to trade in the 2 games that came with it. I got the 2 controllers one so will no games when trade them in. Will be great if can download a couple for free.

    Ya roblox is funny. People make their own games within roblox and basically the most popular are three best. Look at YouTube of Annoying Orange gut playing hide and seek game.... but be careful to put a password on for buying stuff. Gravity game in roblox is good too.
    Check out privacy settings so you control who they make friends / message with.

    Good few games second hand in CEX too..check there ain't any scratches as soon as you get em.

    For fortnite they can talk to their friends with a cheap headset.

    Doritos Crash Course is free and good fun 2 players racing each other.

    I'm provably off topic now but they're free so provably a bargain.

    Thank you op, got mine today and it looks great. Going to have to get someone to test it out for me now to make sure it all works well before Christmas. Delighted with it.

    Is it worth buying XBox One X if I don’t have 4K tv yet?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 561 ✭✭✭doctorg


    why is the value of the xbox console itself so low now ?

    Yes. Better graphics and/or framerate in enhanced games.

    Resolution is only one aspect of image quality.

    Isn't the One S the worst way to play RDR2?

    Got mine there this morning ,
    Unfortunately games only shipped today.

    I just got this delivered today, it's ~GBP413 once you add our VAT and the delivery they include even on the standard postage. But you do get the Special Edition of RDR2 with it, compared to the regular version in Smyths, so if that's worth it for you, then the price difference may not be too terrible. If you want it cheaper and were using PM anyway, it might work out closer to the Smyths offer.

    This will work out cheaper than the Amazon deal, so is probably worth it unless you really really want the Special Edition RDR2.

    Yeah, that part is a pain in the arse not helped by An Post texting me to say console on a van out for delivery then it ended back at the depot.

    Games would have fitted into my letterbox but I had to collect them as well

    An Post are a joke.
    Anyway to ask Amazon not to use them for my deliveries?? :)

    Use a uk virtual address like parcel wizard and you can control your delivery to any location or day that suits

    Thanks, i have PM and Addresspal but didn't want to pay them x3 times for this particular deal!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 112 ✭✭Jameswhalley


    Addresspal is a nightmare if anything goes wrong in the delivery process.

    It also proved to be quite difficult to sort a return to Amazon as I discovered recently.

    I'll continue to use the service for small ,cheap items

    Well at least they text now and you can reschedule or divert to any post office.

    Yeah, they texted me to offre divert for an unrelated packet.
    that didn't work either

    I hate An Post :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,492 ✭✭✭Sir Oxman


    Well, all delivered and I can definitely say this is the best Xbox console only bargain (if all you want is the console)

    Sold both games and controller = 135

    1TB Console cost = 135

    vs Currys bargain =125

    This wins, even with An Post's bull****e
