    I bought an Xbox One X 1TB PUBG in Currys limerick today for €279.97 (last one though) - presume that's a good deal because it was an impulse buy...

    They weren't on the shelf, but there were deals on the price cards for Xbox One S too - don't know if there was any stock :

    Xbox One S 1TB + 2 controllers - €155.97
    Xbox One S 1TB Fortnite - €155.97

    these may be store specific but worth checking in-store

    Has anyone tried a different store? Thinking of changing my old One X to renew the warranty.

    So you have the choice of 2 controllers or a game that you can get for free? Any parents that might be buying this that is out of the loop, go for the 2 controllers. Fortnite can be downloaded for free.

    Is this a thing??? Can you not extend the warranty without having to buy a whole new console?

    One I have is 3 years old. Microsoft warranty is expired. I could easily sell it for 260-270 on Adverts. So paying extra 10-20 for a brand new console with 2 year warranty again from Microsoft.

    Just got the Xbox One X for €279 in Liffey Valley Currys. Last one. Bargain. There were a few Xbox One S units, one was the Minecraft pack for around 150. I guess they are just getting rid of the old bundles.

    X is good deal. S not so much. Have seen S go for around 150 mark several times before but X cheapest I have come across before this is 349

    Is the Xbox One X not only out about 18 months?

    Or am I miles off?

    Your right. I was thinking of the S I have. But still getting a new one for extra 10-20 is a great deal.

    Staff said they bought the few they had in Naas. Ah well. Not going to bother with another store.

    No X's in dundalk, they did have a sticker for the S but didnt see stock. They dont seem to stock much of the consoles anyway. Might save someone the trip.

    Maybe they are drip feeding them out and only have one of each bundle on display at any time? Maybe to protect sales of higher priced current bundles?

    The 97 cent at the end is a end of line code that a lot of retailers use

    I asked did they have one at €280 and it was out the back. Some of the staff didn't even know about the offer.

    Was in Curry's Sligo. They had a few Xbox in the clearance section so I thought I hit jackpot. €280 Xbox 1s with battlefield V. Pass

    Must have a look over here. I have an X already but I'd pay that for the 2 Controller S bundle, feckin' things are £50 a piece normally and the console can be used to smartify the old telly in the attic.

    Thats not a good deal. One S for 280. The more than was it generally is. £189 from many sellers in UK and has been around 199 here as well.

    Exactly that is what the "pass" comment meant 😊 220 on Amazon for the same thing I think.
