I was wondering was there any major differences between the original and one s.

Physical size (much smaller)
Built in blu ray player
Lose Kinect port (dead tech now anyway)
Not much else different

Quick comparison on here

Ultra-HD Blu-Ray player
4K Upscaling
HDR
Size and Efficiency

Those are the main upgrades

Does the controller have to be an official one?

awec · 26-09-2017 01:18PM

If FIFA was digital instead of a disc I'd probably go for this to get the HDMI2.0 connection.

Anyone know if you can trade in the original 1TB in exchange for the One S 1TB?

Considering availaing of the deal but don't want to lose out on the extra storage I have!

No i asked, you can trade in your 1TB but you'll only get a 5000gb.

They only charged me 58.99 and I got 44 cash for fifa. Now to sell the codes and make a profit. Felt like I'd robbed the place

Why did they only charge you 58.99e? What store was it?

lankz92 · 26-09-2017 01:40PM

Tempted. I really dont need it. Xbox barely gets used as is but this seems nearly too good to pass up haha

Why'd you trade a One S against a One S? Did they give you any extra?

They gave me a new Xbox that hopefully won’t shut down randomly

Did your old one shut down randomly? Could because it was overheating, make sure the console has plenty of ventelation.

miece16 · 26-09-2017 01:55PM

could do with this deal, current xbox refuses to read discs until i put it in and out like 5 times

It did, and we’ve been through every step we could find to sort it.

They won't accept a faulty one as a trade in.

Basil posted he had the same problem about 50 mins ago

"Finally all sorted. Great bargain, especially considering my controller had major stick drift and I had to put a disc in 3 or 4 times before the Xbox would read it. Passed their tests anyway."

Yup, and I had completely reset it, so there wasn't a game on the hard drive that they could test. To be safe, I'd probably take it in with a game on the hard drive.

Don't you need to leave your live account on there to start the game?

i'd say just create a normal account and download a free to play game and it should work

Its just what came up on the computer when they scanned it all in or whatever. I don't want to get them in trouble so I wont say but its not in Dublin

direstraits · 26-09-2017 03:31PM

I have called few different stores today (dublin) seems it varies from store to store.

I was told in one store, can't trade xbox one S, another told me no problem to trade, another said that ronaldo edition costs an extra 20 bringing it to 90.00euro, seems staff not fully briefed on the offer...

When I first went in I was told that, asked are they sure as the emails said different and Gamestop FB had told me it was €69.99 - they checked some promo sheet for a min or two and said I was right.

Seems to have been really poorly communicated all round but got the deal in the end so can't complain.

madcabbage · 26-09-2017 03:59PM

Just traded in my Xbox one s and was told it could be used against this deal. The queue in the shop with people looking to trade in old consoles is hilarious.

Nyum Nyum · 26-09-2017 06:53PM

Tried to trade mine in (won't say where for now...) and it mysteriously "wouldn't give a video output". Apparently it was tested with another HDMI cable and on another tv.

I get home and try it.......it works perfectly :mad:

Trying another location tomorrow where hopefully the trade in goes through and I shall ring the first place and let him know (politely...)

Shred · 26-09-2017 07:46PM

I picked one up earlier but it won't power on; I get the power on chime but nothing happens, pressing the eject button also gives an audible tone too...the power cable works with another device so it looks like it's screwed ffs.

IvoryTower · 26-09-2017 07:48PM

I noticed the power cable needs to be pushed in kinda hard make sure it's in the full way

And make sure hdmi cable in in tva nd not satellite

Shred · 26-09-2017 08:07PM

Cheers, the cable's firmly in alright and I would expect it to power on with no HDMI connected but I've tried anyway and no joy either way.

diggerdigger · 26-09-2017 08:08PM

Was exactly as the offer said in Dun Laoghaire store.

Brought in the xbox one 500gb which has been very heavily used since original launch. And got brand new one s with forza + hotwheels expansion.

No problems at all and I was charged 61 euros rather than the 70 with some 9 euro bonus on the receipt??

Its a killer deal, if for nothing other than the new console warranty.
