    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

    Not on the website so must be in store only.

    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.

    I thought only battle royal was free. Player vs computer is a different fortnite part.. no?

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,318 ✭✭✭dan786


    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,318 ✭✭✭dan786


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

    I said I will sell X for that. I have X and S. See comments previously.

    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.

    Just got the last One X in Dundalk, they still have a few One S bundles

    that's a bit odd? they got stock in Monday morning at the clearance price?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,965 ✭✭✭JDxtra


    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?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,534 ✭✭✭sioda


    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.

    Dammit, i should of asked, seen no sign of a sticker for the X so assumed they had none. Probly for the best, barely use the S as it is lol


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,857 ✭✭✭Atlas_IRL


    Great price


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 139 ✭✭Hideki99235


    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,593 ✭✭✭theteal


    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.
